I thought it was great the way Shane got up on the stage in that press conference but I didn't think he did anything to Wilders brother looked like he swung for some mouthy fella at the back??
I fancy fury to beat joshua at the min but it's not outlandish to look at how aj can win. I think in many ways aj is a harder fight for fury than wilder. Wilder is a bigger puncher but really just slings in big single shots. Joshua has more variety to his work, throws in combinations/clusters more and whilst not a master boxer is better than wilder in terms of boxing ability. It'd be a great fight I'd edge towards fury in, it'd be boring if no one give joshua a chance. Even though I do get people looking at bellews match room connection!
If Fury keeps on fighting like the way he did against Wilder, I fancy his chances on KO'ing AJ. AJ is packing glass, I think he would halt AJ's pressure with a ramrod jab. Once AJ starts to have think, he slows down his output considerably. That gives Fury time to start chipping away and figuring out AJ's sense of rhythm. AJ has his toughest fight with Fury.
AJ will rise to the challenge. If they fought he'd be Fury's only big opponent who hasn't underestimated him. Wilder, I don't know what game plan or preparation he made going into their first fight and I'm fairly certain he had no game plan at all going into their second fight, with his only preparation being to put on more useless muscle that just made him slower and tired him out more quickly
Bellew is now just an AJ fanboy, Tony spends his days trying to crawl up AJ's backside. Go and listen to Bellew during the Ruiz II fight, AJ won, he did what he had to do, it wasn't exciting, explosive or that entertaining but Bellew at one point messed his trousers. Also, during the fight AJ was hit by Ruiz and if my memory serves Bellew said, words to the effect that AJ wanted to be hit by Ruiz.. even when AJ is hit, it's intentional.. FFS Bellew is a clown, good fighter, had a couple of good wins, made a lot of money so far more successful than me but after all his boasts and claims he was battered by a dwarf, knocked out by a legitimate world champion. The sooner Sky drop him the better, Bellews bias is beyond a joke, Adam Smith is either using him as a cheerleader and frightened to drop him.. because as a paying customer I don't want to see Bellew ramming his little peanut head up AJ's ringpiece.
Yeh I can see what your saying there, just think it has the potential to be a very tough fight for fury, tougher than wilder not the walk over may expect
Lad can't make up his mind who's the best HW in the world. Flip flops between Wilder, Fury and Joshua every few months. Please, everyone just leave him alone
Shanes a fighter Bellews a boxer There's a big difference. Anyway, Bellew kind of grew on me over the years, it got to the stage of not minding him, he's going backwards again now though. He has no need to follow the Matchroom hymn sheet.
Bellew is one of the most annoying ****s in boixng. But you can never call him a coward, he never shirked a challenge in the ring.
