    At least he didn't get put down heavily and at least it wasn't by a feather fisted guy he was five times the size of ie: Fury/Cunningham.

    Big joshuas always gonna be dangerous but i see fury handling him. Big klitchko would handle him also. Eddie doing a great job for joshuas career atm. Taking the right fights at the right time. Obviously most fans will disagree because they re wanting top competetive fights now. Probably the same guys that said price shouldnt have been in with thompson.

    Even watching the martin fight tho...joshua finished in style but hes not a great boxer. Hes quite basic. Mainly uses his athletism to beat people. You seen with whyte that his boxing will go out the window when hes dragged there.

    How many times have we seen it happen the big strong puncher ends up getting beat by the boxer. People might laugh at this but furys the boxer here. Go back and watch the klitchko fight. Was fury cumbersome...yes. but did he use feints distance etc to win the fight. Yes was a great performance. Dont listen to detractors saying klitchko was finished. Theres a reason klitchko couldnt get his shots off. It will be the same for joshua. Although it doesnt look that way atm because josh is basically not taking anything back. But fury will make him scared to throw the same way he did with klitchko.

    Although the main problem with fury is if his career is anything to go by up to this point is what version of fury is turning up to the ring on any giving nite

    You just repeated the same thing you said on another thread.

    Fury was not '5 times Cunninghams size'

    And he was down for about 2 seconds, which he spent combing his hair with a smile, before he got up and knocked Cunningham the **** out.

    Joshua is a Khan/Bruno hybrid.

    A knockout just waiting to happen

    Lets nit forget Fury has only beat one world class fighter too. Yes I have huge respect for Fury in beating Klitschko but remember who he fought before, his record after 16 fights is a definitely worse than Joshuas is. Cant we just get behind both guys and support them as world champions and great fighters for the future? We have potentially two great fighters who could take Britain towards a huge future in boxing, I like both guys and yes everyone has their favourites but just respect both and support both for **** sake.

    Hughie's next opponent, Fred Kassi, has already been UD'd by Breazeale and stopped by Amir Mansour.

    Those who put Fury down were absolute cack fighters but as usual the AJ haters choose to sway around it by saying " Yes but Fury got up from them " :rofl Yes he got up and won but that doesnt hide the fact he has still been flattened by rubbish nobodies :yep. Anyway whose to say that the punch that Whyte caught Joshua with wouldn't have knocked fatty Fury onto his ****? After all he's crumpled and gone down from alot less

    Cassius Clay was knocked down by Sonny Banks and Henry Cooper on his road to the title.

    I'm not sure why people think Fury being dropped by Pajkic and Cunningham is a big deal, especially since he's improved clearly under the direction of his uncle Peter.

    I'm not a AJ hater but would love to see him get ko'd just to wipe that smug grin off of Hearns face.

    Match room and Sky have the casual fan just where they want them and pretty soon it will cost you upwards of £20 to watch Joshua splatter some bum in what EH will call a 'huge night of boxing'

    Some will say £20 isn't a lot but Sky are continually upping their subscription prices yet still want you to pay extra to watch AJ and the casual fan sees nothing wrong in it

    Well Joshua haters go on about how he was stunned by Whyte, so what's good for one is good for the other.

    Exactly, big difference between Joshua and Wlad is their mental approach. Joshua so far is like Mike Tyson, starting fast and going for the knockout. He hasn't discovered his own fragilities yet or has the bottle to overlook them unlike Wlad. I think Joshua is a very dangerous opponent for Fury, Infact I think he'd knock Tyson out early.

    To be fair the only shots that have put Fury down have been massive shots. Probably would have knocked down most heavyweights.

    I think overall they were a good thing for Fury's career. As in it gave him a chance to experience a crisis whilst not being in with a world level fighter who could finish the job. Imagine the first time big Josh gets put down...he's gonna be like a deer in the headlights. Plus it will probably be by one of the top guys who know how to finish him

    There is an easier solution. If you one doesn't like the prices, one doesn't have to pay.

    Cunningham was in camp with Whyte for the aborted Fury vs Haye fight. Cunningham, is actually taller than Whyte (despite Whyte being listed at 6'4 and Cunningham at 6'3) and is in ridiculous shape, whilst Whyte certainly isn't.

    Joshua fell apart for the entire second and third rounds and really looked dreadful, quite novice like. When 5 years ago Fury did get knocked down vs Pajkic he didn't look hurt at all and he gathered himself together straight away. Joshua on the other hand looked totally clueless and disorganised vs Whyte and was shipping body shots like there was no tomorrow. I was at the fight and Joshua was there for the taking but fortunately for him Whytes shoulder popped and he totally gassed.

    If Fury gets hit by a big puncher he's going down and maybe won't get up. Cunningham and Pajkic both ****e and not the biggest of punchers..
