    Welcome

    Fury might be shot with little power down the stretch but will still chin this bodybuilding bum. FOR FUN.

    What a shameful comeback. Even against a guy that should be tailor-made for him AJ absolutely embarrassed himself.

    It's just brutal proof that once your punch resistance is gone it never comes back.

    AJ can’t take a shot so anyone that can punch isn’t tailor made for him. More the case he is asking for trouble.

    That said, Fury isn’t a big puncher.

    I see them both at a pretty similar level

    That prenga fumbled and drop a million dollar bag tonight. He should have jumped on him like bent did to Morrison. This probably would’ve been a bigger upset than that fight.

    The longer that AJ goes on the more it looks like Deontay would have knocked him el sparko in their primes.

    AJ is a Glass Jawed fighter. He has No Chin. None.

    In 2018, Noam Chomsky wrote a booked called "Manufactured Bum: How AJ Became A Dosser" and it was on the New York Times Best Seller list.

    Hes washed, and never had a great chin. "Manufactured bum" is strong though. Most big name boxers are "manufactured" to some degree. At his peak he was a solid (but workmanlike) talent and consistently fought and beat top 10 level opposition.

    Fury is the more natural boxer and probably would have beaten him, but there are plenty of things he can be criticized for too.

    He is a bum But if they fight and Fury wins, the fan boys will say it is one of Fury's best win.

    Wouldn't it be brilliant if AJ chinned the big dosser though just to see said fan boys reactions.

    Calling a boxer who became heavyweight champ, unified the titles, and defeated a string of top contenders in Parker, Whyte, Povetkin, Wlad, Wallin, and Ruiz a bum is low IQ.

    AJ always was and is willing to face the best the division has to offer. Sometimes he comes out on top sometimes he does not. He’s no different than great heavyweights of the past, guys like Holyfield who in the 90’s lost to Michael Moore, Riddick Bowe, and Lennox Lewis, or Lennox Lewis who lost to McCall, Rahman, and was on his way to lose his fight against Vitali Klitschko before the lucky cut saved him. Or Wladimir Klitschko who lost to Purity, Sanders, and Brewster.

    AJ’s problem is that he hasn’t had a proper redemption arc. The Ruiz rematch was part of it, but then he was derailed by Usyk, and then he got back on the horse but was obliterated by Dubois.

    The road to redemption is hard especially at 36, but AJ can still do it. If he defeats Tyson Fury, picks up an alphabet belt Beats 1-2 top contenders in Kabayel or a rematch with Dubois then he can solidify himself as a true great. And yes I know the odds are against him
