I think AJ has the ability to beat Fury, but the mindset he needs seems to be gone. He will really need to push the issue, have a "take one to give one" attitude at times, and it seems unlikely he can reach such a stage. He has been a bit tentative since the Ruiz loss and much more so since the losses to Usyk. I don't think Fury takes too many chances, though, but boxes safely for the UD. I do think AJ has the better pure ability, but lacks the mentality. His jab was perhaps the best I've seen it yesterday, but he was just way too hesitant for the first four rounds. He must let his hands go more and keep a steadier pressure on guys like Wilder and Fury. He has to have real belief in what he's doing and that seems to have been missing for a while now.
Fury stops him easily within 6. No matter what we think of Fury he is the far superior boxer and doesn’t move back in straight lines with his chin up. Joshua has regressed since the second Usyk fight I think Garcia was a better fit for him
Joshua needed a barrage of shots to get the stoppage win over a shot Michael Sprott, and despite landing a number of clean shots, didn't manage to drop Sprott. The notion that Joshua is a one shot KO artist akin to a Heavyweight Julian Jackson is pure Matchroom PR spin. Also, some people are conveniently forgetting that Wilder ironed out Fury in the 12th round of their first fight, and Fury not only beat the count, but won the rest of that round.
I'm going with Fury. I don't think he'll KO or KD Joshua, but comfortably outbox him and win on points.
The only way a Fury v Joshua fight happens is if it takes place before Joshua v Wilder.Wilder will retire Joshua in brutal fashion !
Just like when young Whyte dropped Fury numerous times in sparring ! Sparring stories hold very little relevance when it comes down to an actual fight .
Joshua already ducked Fury and would have eliminated himself from contention by losing too much: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...ucking-of-fury-in-bombshell-interview.694541/
Joshua is a poor fighter , but he fought everyone and has no track record of ducking. His resume is much better than Fury’s or Wilders. Fury on the other hand popped juicing , ducked wlad rematch, literally ran from ustinov, ducked price, povetkin, joshua and most shamefully Usyk.
"His resume is much better than Fury’s or Wilders." lol. If you say so buddy. I'm sure you're that low IQ Slavic supremacist Fencik. I'm surprised you didn't mention Dychko as another fighter Fury ducked!
