    There is a strong argument to be made that AJ would be Furys best win.

    Fury KO’ed the last glass jawed fighter he faced.

    Joshua was only in the ring due to a rematch clause last night and lost again. Klitschko was a ten-year champion and Wilder a six-year one and unbeaten.

    Agree to disagree. AJ was a primed out Unified champ.

    Joshua would be a significant underdog. But anyone that big and powerful with decent skills has some chance against anyone.

    AJ has always had a good chance of beating Fury. Styles make fights.

    I think so. Fury and Usyk share some attributes, but Fury is bigger, stronger and harder punching, but also slower and less active. I think AJ would probably do better against him than he did against Usyk.

    Joshua had a breakdown last night after the fight which was not nice to see and somebody should have stepped in to take the mic from him. Joshua simply does not have the mental resolve to be fighting somebody like Fury,he would be mentally broke down before a punch is even thrown .

    I think AJ could have some success against the big oaf Fury.

    No, broken AJ with 3 losses in his past 5 fights absolutely would not be a better win than a Wladimir Klitschko who had been unbeaten in 11 years, or an undefeated prime Deontay Wilder.

    Both Wlad and Wilder were pre-fight favorites against Fury, whereas Fury would be a huge favorite against Joshua. That tells you everything.

    AJ already KOed old Wlad and would have Koed Wilder.
