Whose side are you on, Fury or AJ?

Fury too slow to avoid big punches now. AJ just needs to vary things and not be predictable and Fury touches the canvas at least 3 times. I’m not sure fury drops AJ. But we will see let the better man on the night win. No controversies please.

 

If you're asking me to pick, I side with AJ. I think he has, even if he fell short, genuinely tried to conduct his career in the right sort of way. While I was growing to be a fan of Fury, after the Wilder trilogy, I came to view his championship conduct as very poor and grew tired of his constant gaslighting. He is the epitome of talking the talk but refusing to walk the walk. Effectively, I feel he tried to con his way into AtG status.
As it is though, may the best man win. And I will give credit to whoever that is.

 

I hope this happens!

 

:-D :-D :-D

Love it

 

Have been a big fan of both for years, but I've mostly went off Fury will all the "retirements" and being a sore loser against Usyk etc so I'll be rooting for AJ. The guy gets an undeserved amount of hate. Including on here where you'd think AJ had slept with the mothers of half the people on any thread mentioning his name.

 

One the side of being a boxing fan. I did my fanboy thing when I was a punk.

 

Always favoured Fury in this fight but I'd like to see AJ win at this point. I think Fury has taken the **** out of his fans, and the sport, and I say that as a fan...

 

I don't understand the appeal of the fight post Dubois. That loss should have made people seriously question whether Joshua was as good as once believed. It will look even worse if Wardley beats Dubois.

 

I frankly am not bothered about this match up, too many years in the making, neither now in their prime.

However I nail my colours to the mast for AJ.

I know many find Furys trash talking entertaining etc, but i am not one of them, AJ has been a twat at times, such as his antics at end of his second bout with Usyk, but overall AJ trash talks less.

 

Both were rather classless in their losses, but I think AJs were worse when he threw those belts out the ring and put hands on a corner man.

 

Only one of them fought Jake Paul.

 

I've actually got no problem with those fights. These guys are prizes fighters and this kind of thing had happened since men fought. I just think AJ has been more of a professional, made more of his (lesser) talent and has fought better opponents...he didn't have to fight Dubois, but he did...I don't think Tyson would risk a fight like that. I appreciate Fury the boxer and make him a H2H nightmare for many, and I don't rank AJ nearly as highly but Tyson's attitude has turned me off in a big way over the last three years or so.

 

Dubios was a solid match up I agree, but with the recent opponent announced it doesn't look great for AJs track record recently. He needs to get back on track, and hopefully Fury is the beginning of him taking exciting fights again.

Fights with YouTubers, MMA fighters and kickboxers are destroying this sport, especially as they're now becoming title defenses (Rico).

 

Stylistically I always preferred AJ, and as people I prefer AJ too. Fundamentally I think Joshua is unsure of himself and somewhat insecure, and wants to project an elevated image of himself to the public, but rather he comes off as somewhat of a pseud. Nevertheless I think his heart is in the right place. Fury on the other hand is an unrepentant narcissist and a compulsive liar; I very much want to see him laid out and I hope AJ can do it.

 

But they aren't new things. Judo Gene Lebell fought boxers, Ali fought a wrestler and back in the bar room brawl days, it wouldn't surprise me if men fought bears and the like. I don't watch these sideshow but they are making a lot of people a lot of money and from what little I know, Paul seems to be reinvesting it in the woman's game. Times change...
