    I feel like AJ is a lot more washed than Fury. Joshua seems to have lost almost all his punch resistance… aka his chin is cracked. Losing two competitive fights to Usyk doesn’t mean Fury is shot.

    Even in 2025 after getting 0-4 sonned by Usyk, Fury VS AJ is still the biggest fight in the division lol

    Of course - Fury vs AJ will be easily sold out. The loser can pretty much retire.

    AJ has a lot to gain and a realistic chance of winning.

    Fury has money to gain but runs a real risk of destroying any legacy he has remaining.

    The fight will always have an audience in the UK but we were robbed of this fight happening at a time when it would’ve meant something and been worth 10 times what it is now.

    i would tune in for aj-fury. wilder doesnt really interest me. i always thought he was evidence of what a crap division it was. and that was when he could actually land his one punch. ive always said aj is better than fury, so i would like to see if i was right. im not as confident now after seeing aj's mental fortitude. but fury isnt the man to test it, so i still favor aj.

    All fighters mentioned are pretty much past it. They are all still big names, especially AJ and Fury in the UK.

    Would rather see AJ V Fury ATM. I would probably still pay to watch that now if it was £20. I think AJ would want it but Fury won't want to risk losing to AJ.

    Wilder is finished and AJ isn`t a top 5 heavy.

    Perfect timing for AJ. He has managed to age Fury out, Wilder is nothing more than a mummy in the ring right now. Two at least somewhat decent names to add to his resume. Hearn will make them this time.

    Fury - AJ would still be huge if they do it soon.


    \AJ - Wilder could be the worst thing that anyone's ever seen (2 chinny, possibly gun shy former ko artists) or an epic where they slew each others brains across the canvas. But I probably won't buy it.

    Styles make fights
    Do I think the best Fury beats Joshua? Yes I do, but, I think his punch resistance is fading and as well as he performed the other night, he matches up better against usyk than Aj

    What I trying to say is, Fury would do better against usyk than Aj, but he isn't punching like dubois and Aj is still physically in his prime

    I think I would honestly favour Aj in this one now, but not a few years back when they they should have fought

    I don’t care about the money - doesn’t go into my pocket, but if they fight I’ll watch. Why not?

    AJ knew he could send a weekly Snickers hamper to Big Andy Ruiz to fatten him up, but that is not going to work against DDD. Of course he has a chance against DDD but he is a mental midget who could easily implode. Same reason why a Wilder fight could be good sell-out fight for both of them, there is no clear indication of the outcome.

    AJ fury is a good fight still. Both are chinny, fury has the boxing iq but AJ has the power and unlike wilder he can put 2 or 3 punches together which if he does its goodnight fury.

    its a 50/50 fight, makes great sense for them both final showdown for mega money.

    wilder shouldnt be in any conversation at the top level, hes always been useless and hes even more washed up now. He not in my top 20
