And who has wilder fought besides fury ? . Luis ortiz ? Luis ortiz was old and he himself hasn't fought anybody noteworthy. Deontay wilder had trouble with eric molina. Andy ruiz went toe to toe with joseph parker. Aj has beaten povetkin, parker, whyte and more relatively solid opponents. Joshua has the best resume in the division. Wilder is overrated as **** and was saved by the bell when old man ortiz was punching him around the ring in the 7th round. Hes just a bum with a extremely powerful right hand. I think fury cruises to a UD against aj but i wouldnt be suprised if aj works the body and stops him mid to late rounds
Fury misses too many punches to cruise to a victory, AJ has faster hands than most fighters Fury has fought, it will be a close contest from start to finish.
I think beating him in the technical department whilst not getting hit from Fury is the way to beat him. Or knocking him out.
Unless your prime Ali or Holmes you're NOT outboxing Fury. You want to know how to beat Fury ? Be skilled enough to put pressure on him, agressively box you way in chin down hands up style and jab to the body while moving forward, cut off the ring and corner him on the ropes. Easier said than done provided you actually pull this off Fury's defense while on the ropes can be summed up as slip and clinch. Just swarm him and unload 1 or 2 combinations to the body, he will try and clinch, eventually clinch with him so you dont tire yourself out again his 6'8 260+ pound frame. Keep this pattern going of getting fury on the ropes and slowly breaking him down. Do NOT head hunt and waste your energy unless you see a 100% certain point blank opportunity to throw short hooks and uppercuts on the inside because Fury has developed his upperbody movement over the years. From time to time throw an uppercut in the clinches to catch him because at those points he would be used to body shots like Whyte was used to body shots and got didn't expect povetkin to go to the head right before the knockout so you might be able to catch him by suprise with one of those. If you can keep this kind of workrate steady for 5 rounds and successfully slow Fury down you can steal all of these rounds with flashy combos and wear him down more in the later rounds after taking a couple break rounds and box with Fury on the outside to replinishing your stamina in the mid rounds. The only person in the division who could pull this gameplan off would be Anthony Joshua. He has the size, skill, power and reach to throw Fury off with this gameplan. But he's more if a counter puncher, has slow feet, is generally methodical and doesn't have a good gas tank generally so it would be a hard fight for him.
I remember Sean "Big Sexy" Turner saying to Nathan Gorman "stand in the centre of the ring with me and prove you're a real man" but Gorman didn't take the bait and just outboxed him. Goading of that kind is too obvious and just exposes that you don't think you'll be able to cope with that particular style.
Wallin is ranked top 20 after the Breazeale win with the various organisations overall and Kevin Johnson, Cunningham and Hammer were all easily top 30 heavyweights in 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively. 2x Chisora is tough and underrated; he should have won decisions against Whyte and Helenius, Wlad was a 10 year unbeaten unified champion fighting at home and Wilder was an undefeated 5 year champion fighting at home. And Fury isn't two fights removed from the most humiliating defeat of all time.
