    One thing that didn't land for me was Joshua saying Fury was only after clout and wasn't serious.

    This is right after facing Jake Paul LOL

    No way AJ fights Fury next. Not a chance. After what happened, he needs to get a few rounds in the books to clear his mind and build his confidence. If I was Eddie I'd get him in front of someone to easily KO in June.

    Honestly, both AJ and Usyk should tell Fury to **** off. AJ can go fight Wilder in America for a zillion bucks and Usyk can clean up some contenders like Wardley and Kabayel.

    Leave Fury holding his tiny little dick in his hand and tell him he needs to beat some legit competition first. Then he'll have to retire again because we know he's too chicken**** to ever get in the ring versus a legit guy.

    He just dominated a top 15 guy.

    Joshua's last 3 are:

    Jake Paul (LOL)
    Dubois (brutal loss)
    Ngannou (lmao)

    Strange post. You seem to legitimately hate Fury for some reason.

    That’s why it cracked me up when Fury pretty much said “give us a straight answer you **** house” LOL
    On a side note thought I seriously reckon AJ’s nickname when he fight should be “The Landlord” it’s not too bad haha

    He saw Wilder-Joshua slip away due to tune-ups.

    I think its totally fair that AJ gets to have a tune up fight pre Fury, and Wilder fits the bill to a T.

    Fury will then probably say if the fight isnt next next, then hes retiring.

    But I think most reasonable people can understand why its fair to want a lead in fight after having been rendered unconscious and almost killed in the crash that killed your best friends.

    If AJ winds up beating Wilder, it just makes the lead in to the Fury fight juicer anyways.

    Kinda funny how Fury unretires and challenges AJ ASAP after a near fatal crash, when he had 10 years to do all this previously, and will likely make it a sticking point that AJ can't get a tune up before fighting him. Classic Fury.

    Makhmudov is not Top 15. He might be ranked there because the sanctioning bodies are shameless, but he's not skilled whatsoever. He struggled with Dave freaking Allen.

    And I don't hate Fury. I find his antics, his trash talk, his constant lying and gaslighting, his endless retirements, and all the rest to be quite annoying and detrimental to the sport and the division.

    And I don't know why you'd poo-poo AJ's record when all AJ does is knock dudes out that Fury goes life and death with. Like Ngannou. Coming in to this fight, Fury hadn't beaten a credible opponent in 4 years. Now he can't get rid of a slow, stiff, uncoordinated bum over 12 when guys like Kabayel and Guido Vianello blasted him out no problem.

    AJ's only weakness is not being able to recover from hard shots. Fury wasn't ever a big puncher and he certainly ain't now. AJ walks through him. Hell, Fury is already saying he won't fight Dubois, or Kab, or anyone else when he's been interviewed tonight. And we all know why. It's the same reason he ducked a Wlad rematch. It's the same reason he swerved Usyk for two years to fight Delboy a 3rd time and a boxing novice in Ngannou. Still crying about his losses to Usyk, too. Poor Tyson. Literally everyone in the boxing universe wanted him to win over Usyk and yet 5 out of 6 judges were so upset about the war in Ukraine they robbed the poor ol' Gypsy King for a dude who hardly speaks english. Shame. LOL

    Is that the same Ngannou that put Fury to the floor, with a sizeable portion of viewers had him actually beating Fury, and by being so competitive with the lineal champion that it forever embarrassed boxing, and AJ had to come in and clean up Furys mess?

    That Ngannou?

    Nobody should care what Fury has to say about fighting AJ anyway. Has everyone already forgotten how Fury's own people were BEGGING him to chill out and give them a little more time to get a deal hammered out with Eddie, only for Fury to say "Nope! Your time is up! Deal is off!" and then laugh about it like a spoiled teenager?

    He's been ducking AJ for damn near a decade. If I'm AJ I'm not tap dancing to his tune, either. **** him. I'll fight who I want when I want and the belt-less bum who can't even sell out Spurs when the tickets are less than the price of a stadium soda can get in line.

    Do you think Ngannou is a better win than Mak?

    Has Ngannou ever recorded a boxing win?

    Did you have Ngannou beating Fury? I don't think most rational spectators did. Fury got the decision in a circus fight.

    Yes, that Ngannou.

    Insane post. Reads like a weirdo who has no comprehension of the sport and has never thrown a punch. Joshua's only weakness is getting punched in the head, is that it? He's otherwise a master boxer?

    It would surprise you, then, to learn that Daniel "please don't jab me" Dubois outboxed and outclassed Joshua. Not to mention Usyk easily doing so twice, then saying Fury was a far greater challenge.

    I do think AJ wants the fight but he was trying to make himself look cool but came off like a moron

    Crawl back in your hole. Never seen you post here before and now that Fury has a sparring session with a nobody who could barely get past Dave Allen here you are trying to talk ****. Being intentionally obtuse about my points isn't a good argument. It sounds exactly like some dumb **** Fury would say.

    What did Ngnanou do to Fury? What did AJ do to Ngannou?

    What did Wallin do to Fury? What did AJ do to Wallin?

    What did Fury accomplish against Wlad? What did AJ do with Wlad?

    Yeah, you're right. AJ has no chance against Fury. Surely no chance. That's why he obliterates everyone Fury can't do a thing with. And I don't much care what Dubois did to AJ since Fury would never grow a pair big enough to take on a Dubois. Seferi, Pianeta, and Schwarz are more his speed. Makhmudov is more of the same.

    Look, clearly you're very emotional about Fury being back in the mix with a good win and Joshua looking sad and strange after getting called out. I don't want you to do anything rash, so I may stop replying to you.

    Fury easily decisioned Vlad and Joshua went life and death, getting knocked down and traumatized. Joshua said after the fight that he didn't want to have another war like that, ever. Some say it was the beginning of Joshua's downfall. Doesn't really sound like he "obliterated" the best fighter he's ever beaten (a ring rusted, non champion version compared to who Fury beat), does it? Why was it so easy for Fury?

    Joshua fans are left with him performing better against...get this...a guy who has never won a boxing match. Oh, and OTTO "The Legend" WALLIN.

    These are all fighters that Fury has beaten, by the way. They both lost to Usyk - who did Usyk say was a bigger challenge? Who went on to get outboxed and obliterated by Dubois? Who fought another circus fight because even a Makhmudov may KO him at this stage?
