    AJ definitely a tougher opponent than Wilder for Fury.

    Funnily enough I think Wilder is a horrible match up for AJ. Think Wilder clips him early.

    Fury/AJ for me a 55/45. Wouldn’t be too surprised with who win this one

    Could he do that and have success? Absolutely. Can he do that and maintain it over 12 rounds? Not a chance if you ask me. I think his stamina fails him in that scenario.

    Jeez, nobody wants to read walls of text, do try and get to the point in less than ten thousand words, it's not impressing anyone trying to chat more crap than the next man, ffs..

    There's some cards here isn't there :risas3:

    Nandrolone Fury has successfully conned most boxing fans into believing that he is somehow the best heavyweight at the moment. Even though he has not fought most of the best heavyweights out there hahaha. It's as big a con job as people believing Wilder was the hardest puncher ever based off him KOing bums. But ask yourself this. Would Fury has beaten Povetkin, Whyte, Parker and some of the other heavyweights AJ has beaten in the last couple of years? If your answer is yes, then what are you basing it on? Because beating up on Sefari, Pianetta, Wallin and Schwarz shouldn't count for anything.

    Except attacking the body exposes the head as well. Thats what body shots do. If they dont hit they make someone avoid it where then Aj can lead off with a hook. He's obviously going to do both. People say "Ajs robotic, furys going to outbox him but forget wlad tagged fury in the last round and started troubling him by slightly upping the aggression. Like i said when someone gets on the inside fury does not fight oppenents off he clinches to cancel his opponent out. Aj is much better on the front foot than wallin and you saw how wallin didnt show any respect for fury and didnt allow him to get comfortable.

    The "reality of things" and im picking and choosing but u use wilder the one trick pony to prove furys counter punching skills will stop Ajs agression and discredit ivan dychko who is the closet fighter to tyson fury besides his brother. Dont see anybody who fights like Aj that furys beaten. And you didnt read what i said. I didnt say he fights like fraizer but he'll put pressure on fury like he did against dytchko and he'll attempt to attack his midsection like fraizer did to ali. Putting an opponent under pressure and trying to work the body isnt exclusively fraizers style. And im basing it on the fact that wallin succeded in putting pressure on fury and fury wont fight off Aj like he did wallin.

    Its not as simple as he counters aj and boxes his head off. He wont ride ajs shots like he did Wilders because aj throws combos. Fury will have to be more cautious in this fight than he has been in any other fight. Aj has a good left hook, a powerful right hand, an uppercut from hell and we now know Aj can box and move on the back foot. Hes NOWHERE NEAR as good as fury on the back foot but hell he might even lure fury to attack him by boxing off the back foot and staying near the ropes and then countering him. Because Aj wont allow fury to lean on him. Hes way stronger than wallin, cunningham and wilder and he knows how to uppercut

    who are the three biggest names in boxing over the past 5 years according to most boxing fans?
    which ones have fought each other and what was the result?

    fury didn't "con" his way to a win over wilder, he dismantled him and it wasn't even close.
    wilder, you know, the guy AJ couldn't make a fight with...

    If he toys with them, why he never fought any of them and picked Seferi and Pianeta?

    Ty - are you going to copy & paste the same f'n post in every topic thread involving Fury? :nusenuse:

    I know Fury has your undies in knots but for the love of God, get some new material :icon_writing: At least rearrange a few words :deal:

    I'd make Fury the favourite, but at the moment I think Fury is a bit overrated after the second Wilder fight and Joshua is a bit underrated after Ruiz 2. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. If I had to pick a winner I'd go with Fury but think it will be far from a walk over and would not be surprised at all if Joshua won.

    You know what tbh you're not wrong. People overhyped wilder and claimed he was a top opponent but even kubrat pulev has a better resume. Fury tells people he doesn't have to fight other opponents because they're not on his level but honsetly that seems like an excuse. For example joseph parker beat ruiz then aj beat parker. If aj wanted to he could have said to ruiz that he doesnt have to fight him because he beat parker and parker beat him. But ruiz ended up beating Aj.

    I honestly think fury should just man up and dominate the division like everyone claims he could. Why not ? We'd see more fights and we'd see fury fight more opponents with different styles. It would be a win win situation for boxing fans and furys resume. Not saying fury cant beat them because honestly i see fury beating everyone else except possibly Aj. But 1 punch can change everything
