    Fury is not way better than AJ or Wilder, he`s just better at exploiting his reach.

    Prime 2000 version gives them all a very hard fight. I don't see Joshua landing on him and Fury lacks the tnt to get anything except a decision win. Wilder might have the best chance of stopping him but I doubt it.

    AJ lands far more punches than Fury and Wilder do partly because he`s more aggressive than the other two and always controls the centre of the ring, Wilder would throw far less punches against Bryd than AJ would and against a good defensive fighter like Bryd that wouldn`t bode well.

    I think Byrd could beat all three, but most likely wouldn't get the decision. If Vitali wouldn't have quit and the fight ended up going the distance Byrd was about to get robbed on the cards. However, the only reason Vitali quit in the first place because Byrd was close to putting him away and Vitali wanted an excuse on why he lost.

    Byrd in his prime was very tricky and hard to hit. Byrd is a bad matchup for all three. Wilder has the power to knock Byrd out, but doesn't he put combos together well enough to knock Byrd out, since Byrd is a much better boxer than Ortiz and wouldn't be eating straight rights all night. Joshua can put combos together, but has awful timing and would be missing a lot of punches. Fury has a good jab and excellent check hook when he uses it, but tends to get sloppy, which would play right into Byrd's hands.

    Joshua is just an overrated stiff on roids that’s all. Byrd would make him look stupid.

    Count how many jabs AJ throws compared to Wilder and Fury.

    I’m not going to watch any of those videos , coz I seen enough of his fights and he always looks very stiff when he fights. He is flatfooted and very robotic , gets tired quick .
    41yo shot wlad looked like Ali against him.

    His foot movement is good for a big guy he evades a lot of shots by skipping backwards with better balance than Fury and Wilder who are off balance after they miss shots.

    Wow, Byrd getting deuced on hard here. Even if you pick against him in any, he'd be a live dog. Not sure how Wilder all of a sudden has become so well thought of in the past 6-ish months. And the love for Fury, I'm just way on the opposite end. I think Byrd wins rounds against those guys, and not just a couple.

    His footwork sucks and so is his chin , that’s why I give wilder a good chance to knock him out.

    I'd need to watch the fight again but I seem to remember Vitali edging out every round before the injury.

    Joshua may look "stiff" but he's fought better opposition than wilder and never looked "bad" whereas wilder has looked AWFUL multiple times.

    Wilder is better at sort of jumping around like a grasshopper but Joshua's skills are better in every other way.

    Another troll post?

    He lasted 12 rounds with Wladimir and caused Vitali big issues with his movement.

    Even if he lost to the 3 guys mentioned, he'd cause them all problems.

    There's no reason why he wouldn't have been able to gone the distance, especially against Tyson, who doesn't possess the power of the others.

    Did you even see his career?
