    Being beaten by Usyk is no shame.

    AJ would win this easier than people expect. He’ll consistently land on Fury and hurt him eventually.

    There’s a reason Fury ducked him for years, because he knows there’s a good chance he gets sparked. He’d rather never have to get in the ring with him and live off his fanboys saying he’d beat Joshua around the ring instead.

    He feels the shame because of his inflated ego and the way he tried to demean Usyk beforehand. Now Usyk took his soul.

    I can even tell you how that will plays out.
    Just like Usyk was smashing Fury body with that left hand, AJ would Right hand him to the body, and then smashed him to the head. Similar to the Ngannou fight. Depends how aggressive AJ decide to be, if he takes his time, it may take 7-8 rounds, but if he decide to be aggressive, he would KO Fury in 3 rounds.

    He definitely does have the power to keep AJ honest. Now don't get me wrong, Fury isn't a massive puncher, but he was hurting Usyk with single shots at times and Usyk has a much better chin than AJ.

    I think it would be relatively competitive but with Fury taking the majority of the rounds -- until he eventually gets caught and knocked out by Joshua.

    Lesser fighters have had little problem landing shots on Fury, and someone with a combination of skill & power like Joshua, he would definitely have Fury down at some point, and if he does get back up, I don't think he'll survive the onslaught Joshua will bring after he knows he's hurt.

    And AJ has much better chin than Fury, lol. :D

    Yeah, but good luck landing this uppercut on the big man - AJ. In order to keep AJ, you had to have a powerful jab. Fury flicking his jab ain't going to work. He also has low guard and keep his hands low, which is going to be a catastrophe against AJ. Also Fury had some success on Usyk body, and also hitting it low. AJ body is invincible, you ain't going to hurt him there EVER, no chance. So that uppercut ain't landing on AJ ever.

    if your boy think he could have dance with AJ, he would have fought him already.
    AJ by a brutal stoppage inside 3-4 rounds.

    Lordlosh, pls rest. Lol

    On a more serious note, I'd pick A. J inside 9 rnds like I did for Usyk. I was right save for the ref

    The best version of Fury with his herky-jerky movement, feints and footwork gives Joshua fits.
    Problem is that Fury doesn't exist for 12 rounds. Now with him clearly getting hurt every fight its only a matter of time before someone can close the show and a guy with 25 KO's in 28 wins has the right kind of power and decent skills to take full advantage. Would Fury stand up to 14-15 clean head shots from AJ? I doubt it.

    Ngannu proved that Fury's grappling and wrestling didn't work on a guy of that size and AJ is similar in stature. I could see Fury winning the early rounds but getting clipped as he slows and Joshua overpowering him for a stoppage.
    The pendulum swings back to AJ for me now.

    That said if Fury beats Usyk in the rematch - and its a possibility then who knows?

    I think Fury was silly not to do everything in his power to fight Aj around the time of the chisora fight. I 100% would have backed him

    Now, his resistance is even less and after knocking out a pair of bums and having a decent relationship with Ben, I think Aj has found his balls again

    Fury is physically in decline, while Aj is not. Only thing is, Aj is mentally a fragile guy and Fury could still take advantage of that

    I'd say it's close to 50-50, but I worry if Fury's chin could hold up

    Sadly we will likely never see it and when/if we do it will be too late

    It should of happened already

    No he doesn't. AJ has exactly 30 lbs on Usyk. And Usyk was dazzled by Fury uppercut, maybe a bit hurt, but he shrug it off, and continue to finish the big dosser in the next rounds. And should have won by KO, and everyone knows that.

    AJ also have miles better chin than Fury.

    Fury just doesn't have anything on AJ. Never have, that's why he ducked the fight and will continue duck it.
    His clinching, holding tactics won't work against AJ, and the first solid punch AJ lands on Fury, it's over for Fury.

    He will get 100+ million for that fight, if he has any confidence he will beat AJ, he will proceed with the fight. But we all know that ain't happening.

    He at best may try to cash out against Usyk, cause he knows he had judges and referee into his pocket, and Usyk will be 38 by the time they fight again, and he will hope Usyk decline even more.
    This is all he can hope. Usyk to become even more of a shadow of what he was, so Fury to have a chance of winning that fight, via blatant corruption, as we all know he had zero chance of winning with fair referee and judges.

    But given the beating Fury took, he may not come even for the rematch.

    ****ing hell man. This fight should have happened like 5 years ago. Another Spence vs Crawford. Do this fight next in wembley.
    I pick AJ by ko. I think the is wrong for Fury.
