    They don't share nothing in common. Usyk is completely different fighter.

    Movement is a big problem for Joshua. He can't go 12 rounds. A mobile Fury wins a one sided contest.

    Joshua matches up terribly against Fury.

    It's equally likely that Wilder would KO Joshua.

    Not really, I'd bet heavily on a Fury KO.

    AJ's admitted that he's not a 12 round fighter. Fury is a 12 round fighter and he's a lot bigger, more skilled, tougher and mentally stronger than AJ. Fury would have AJ gassing around the 4th, the pre-fight mental warfare would exert a considerable toll in itself. AJ would be schooled, battered and stopped mid-late.

    He does. Styles make fights. Usyk is all wrong for AJ. Smaller, quicker opponents cause him the most issue.

    Fury is a bigger target who is no longer as quick as Usyk.

    If Usyk didn't school Joshua then Fury doesn't. Fury wins but its a competitive fight. If no skill Wilder can make Fury work for it, then so can Joshua

    Not convinced about that at all. In fact far from it. Stylistically always been more worried about Usyk for him.

    Of course he has a chance.

    Small, but it exists.

    Over the one against the 11-year reigning HW champ, where noone gave him a hope?

    On what basis then?

    Slightly less chance than he had against Usyk I'd say, but yeah a minimal chance exists

    He has a chance but it's not probable. I always thought AJ would be Fury but the way things have turned out has dumped that theory on its head.

    Fury probably stops Joshua, at the very least outpoints him.

    This is like saying "if Usyk didn't school Chisora then Fury doesn't". Fury has many attributes over Usyk which limits the amount of pressure guys like AJ and Chisora can apply (and I thought Usyk schooled them anyway). Fury also has the physicality to dominate them in the clinch, especially as the rounds go on.

    Wilder has a long list of advantages over Joshua and his primary skill is landing his fast, rangy and devastatingly powerful right hand. Wilder isn't primarily trying to win a pointfighting battle and to judge his skillset in this way is to completely misunderstand him.
