    Joshua couldn't subdue Ruiz in the clinch because Joshua was badly concussed, moving around the ring like a drunk man. Also it helps that Ruiz is 6 feet tall and 265+ pounds, low centre of gravity.

    I think the clinch game will be even 4-5 rounds but then Joshuas explosiveness will start to fade.

    He had trouble in the rematch too but, yeah, Ruiz's low centre of gravity made a difference.

    Who are this former sparring partners? And how can you tell that someone is "naturally" stronger, whatever that even mean ?
    There is a zero chance that Fury is even close to Joshua strength.
    You will understand it come fight night.

    No every one of Wilder`s shots is a potential fight ender, not all AJ`s shots are that hard and his jab isn`t hard.

    $50m for Fatboy Vs AJ

    $100-200m in a country that throws billions at projects that go nowhere just for the hell of it

    The entire region is just a oil MEGA rich nation, building infrastructure in a desert that will soon enough return to sand.


    Dubai? Jeddah?

    The money they're willing to throw at it makes a full capacity Wembley stadium a non entity.

    It's good...if we required full capacity stadiums this fight would not happen this summer.

    I dont remember. But they said Fury is really strong even If he looks untrained. Big man wrestling strong. Joshua was more explosive and lifted heavier weighs. Thats what i remember.

    I do think they will be competitive in The clinches before Joshua gasses early to mid rounds.

    I'm going with Fury by decision. Whether I bet or not depends on the odds I can get. Even up, I'd definitely bet on Fury to win.

    Now you’re just trolling and not being very good at it.

    FFS this is bad. Do you even look at what you've written before you hit the post button?

    Have you boxed at all Mark?

    Only Wilder's right is a potential fight ender and AJ has a hard jab when he uses it as such. Definitely harder, and just better, than Wilder's. Just look at what effect his jab to the body had on Povetkin.

    His jab to Povetkin`s body wasn`t that hard, it`s just that he was scoring points and Povetkin was wary of this so AJ used the punch to distract from his right hand upstairs, Canelo did the same to Khan in their match-up.

    AJ`s jab is not that hard you can see that, it`s quite stiff and is sharp and fast, Wilder`s power is insane, I only sparred at a gym a few times as kid,but it was a crappy gym and I learned nothing.
