AJ and Wlad

I'd fancy AJ to win not due to boxing skill but just down to power. Fury isn't a big hitter and he hasn't got the best chin
AJ said against Martin he would take 1 or 2 punches to be able to deliver 5 back. He could do the same against fury I reckon and finish it early.
No matter how much skill you have, power and speed are never easy to stop
And I very much doubt AJ would be like klit and scared to pull the trigger

Edit: I'm not saying AJ would breeze past fury, I'm just saying what I think could happen

 

I agree nothing has really changed at all in AJ's game, but like you say it hasn't needed too.
Maybe I'm caught up on this hype train of knocking everyone out convincingly, I was even sold on this joshua v Martin fight been a good fight, due to some posters on here and sky saying it's 50/50. I actually believed it unfortunately.

I suppose we could all have 10 pages of debate on who would win. You can talk all scenarios for both boxers, but it all changes once they're in the ring.
Hopefully we'll see this year or next year

 

Aj wouldn't win a round against fury....
Wlad stops Aj

AJ>>>Wlad>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fury :deal

 

They hype maybe unwarranted but seriously people are surprised?

When you have a guy who knocks out his opponents early people tend to get excited.

Tyson Fury at the same stage looked nowhere near as impressive.

 

He has no fear of throwing punches, you can have all the tools in the world but if you refuse to use them then they're pointless.

Wlad has everything needed to beat fury, he was just scared, joshua wouldn't be. He's become ridiculously over rated since the wlad fight, people seem to have forgotten wlad was a walking punchbag basically. Cunningham completely outboxed fury, McDermott beat him, and he's been put on the floor by guys with feather fists. He has the perfect recipe to beat wlad but it won't work against other big guys who arent afraid of him.

Fury is big and awkward with good head movement. That's about it, he doesn't have much power, chin is questionable plus his footwork is clumsy and he throws slaps and arm punches. AJ will land a lot more than wlad did, just depends whether fury can take it.

 

Agree with this.

Wladimir and Joshua are not the same. The idea that Fury is some expert on the back foot is ridiculous. Prior to that fight what did he do which was so impressive?

The win vs Wladimir was good but he was in with a guy who throws very little.

 

Don't think the pac fight is a fair comparison, as wlad is always reluctant to let his hands go, unlike pac. I also think it was the fact tyson got into his head that he didn't throw any punches, as he was that way from round 1, again unlike pac who tried to land but became gun shy as the fight went on. I really don believe it was Furys supposed 'superior skill' that caused wlad to come out from the opening bell and refuse to throw. He had no trouble landing in the 12th but by then it was too late.

If wlad can figure out his mental problems then I would fully expect him to prove in the rematch that his reluctance to throw shots had nothing to do with fury being more talented than him.

Wlad has everything needed except the mental strength to beat fury.

Also fury was down on the cards against Cunningham and was being out jabbed IMO.

 

He absolutely schooled Dereck Chisora for 11/12 rounds (can't remember when it was stopped) and his footwork and shot selection was pretty impressive that night.

Your last sentence is just ridiculous, he bought a p4p top 10 who hadn't been beaten in what, 12 years? The reason he didn't throw very much as has been alluded to previously was that whenever he did Fury was slipping and catching him. Fury may not be bang as hard as the other heavyweights but at his size getting caught like that repeatedly will take it's toll.

 

Every criticism you launched on Fury could apply to Muhammad Ali right after his first Liston fight. Put down by two lesser fighters? Check. Have a debatable win on his ledger to a lesser opponent? Check. Questionable power and chin? Check and check. Ali turned out good, and beat his era's insane puncher in Foreman. I wouldn't write off Fury to do the same.

 

I cant believe people are still hating on Fury.

Before the Klitscko fight, 'Furys a bum, who has he beat?'

After he beats Klitscko 'Furys a bum, Wlad will beat him in a rematch'

When he eventually beats Wlad again, I hope he gets some of the respect he deserves.
