    With his casual legions only, anybody who has a clue knows Joshua remains damaged goods. Fury is by far the man in hw boxing.

    I have a great idea, Eddie! They both walk in AT THE SAME TIME from opposite ends of the arena.

    Ok now sign em up.

    AJ has the more belts, the better resume, draws much bigger viewings and is the cash cow of HW divison. So AJ is logically should be the side "A".

    That said I can see AJ and Hearn caving into Furys minor egotistical demands such ringwalk as Matchroom want the fight more and are very confident that AJ wins this fight.

    AJ WANTS what Fury has, The reputation of being the best HW on the planet. Fury is also undefeated. Holds a belt AJ has never held.

    Fury has held the belts AJ has.

    Fury is still lineal.

    How can AJ be the A-side when Fury is the one with the wealth and value? He has is the man holding what AJ wants?

    Quantity of belts doesn't mean anything. They are worthless anyway.

    Fury's lineal status/title is more valuable than any of those things. undisputed status is almost impossible to gain because of these dirty corrupt organizations. AJ might have to drop the WBO anyway. Does that mean undisputed status can be gained?

    It's a fight of the two best men REGARDLESS of belts. That's what is to be gain. There is no real true A-side.

    Either way Fury is leaving that ring the dominant victor.

    Was Lennox damaged good when he lost to McCall and Rahman? Or does it only apply when Joshua loses?

    Lennox wasn't mentally damaged.

    AJ fights fearful now. He doesn't engage like he used to. Doesn't fight inside AT ALL. AJ from 2 years ago would have got Pulev out of there in 3 rounds. Also cut his weight to 240 and doesn't want to bulk up, which is a good move if you need to do 12 rounds.

    AJ still has to balance himself out. He can be mentally strong against most of his opponents, when he gets in there with Fury though he will fall apart, he is already falling aapart.

    Doesn't fight inside?

    He threw four uppercuts in a row against Pulev. When was the last time you saw a HW do that?

    He doesn't fight fearful. He fights smart.

    I think Fury is possibly more popular than AJ at this point. People will buy this fight because the 2 of them are fighting each other not particularly for being a fan of one or the other.

    He was throwing hooks and uppercuts from close range the full fight miniq ya dafty. Fury is so overrated on the inside. He won’t dare try and take AJ on in close counters.

    Fury is more popular as a geezer but can't sell a fight.

    His December fight got cancelled due to this as he only sells if its a big name in the opposite corner ie, AJ/Wilder or somebody well known like Whyte, Ruiz, Ortiz.

    AJ is easy A side.

    It's why Fury has hated on him for years. He has achieved more as an amateur and a hell of a lot as a pro, managed to defend belts even though he first walked into a boxing gym around the time Fury was turning Pro and comes from a "family of fighting men".

    At least he knocked out Rahman in the return and didn't run away for 12.

    Rahman doesn’t have the chin of Ruiz. The right hands Joshua was landing usually put people down.

    More excuses. You have to get in range to land punches. Joshua was terrified to get in any exchanges with morbidly obese Ruiz. Cheated the fans in process.

    Joshua cheats his fans and not the man who stinks out the full arena in most of his fights? How many Fury fights have you watched and thought “I’ll rewatch that again.” Like maybe 2 or 3. Joshua almost always puts on an entertaining fight.

    AJ is still A side here
