    You have a point. Under adversity, Fury has shown to be the mentally tougher fighter.

    Nobody cares about AJ v Ruiz yet,Fury v AJ is the biggest fight out there right now, let Ruiz prove he can lose weight and come back, then he can fight the winner, Fury is a bigger name than Ruiz and has a world title, we want to see the unification before another Ruiz v AJ fight, nobody cares about Ruiz right now, he should not have come in that heavy.

    I did not had meaning to compare Fury vs A.J with A.J vs Usyk or Ruiz.

    Pulev fight vs A.J was too predictable. With the same result Pulev might had fought vs CW Dorticos or old Briedis , he had been finished in distance vs them.
    Ruiz III fight or White vs A.J instead of White vs Povetkin or Usyk vs A.J instead of Usyk vs Chisora had better attention level.

    After 3 rounds of competitive sparring Fury started to hit him up the body and he was lifting his knees, Rob then stopped the spar at the end of round 3. ...which to be fair enough.

    I understand what you`re saying, Fury v AJ will make for a more entertaining presser than Joyce v Usyk and that will bring the viewers in and it`s a more significent fight, the crowd would have lent on amazing atmosphere to that bout but Usyk v Joyce will feature a lot more actin, I feel AJ v Fury will be a more cagey fight, certainly in the early rounds but Usyk and Joyce both show a massive work rate in their bouts, Fury has a higher work rate than AJ, but AJ is very economical with his punching would could lead to quite a dull affair as Fury is pretty hard to hit.

    No Fury said he started lifting AJ off the floor with body shots after getting his head punched in at first, Fury`s defense wsan`t as good back then eventually he changed his style.

    Just wanted to say that Fury today is not the Fury of the Klitchsko fight and might never be again.

    His own excesses out of the ring, ballooing up and down in weight, being inactice for long periods. These are all things that shorten a boxer's prime. In many ways, Fury is an old 32 and he's probably past prime while Joshua is at his.

    Also, the reflexes and timing go first and Tyson relies heavily on these in his best performances.

    Just something else to consider.
