    AJ is a busted flush now. To beat Fury he'd have to get on the front foot and let his hands go. Not sure he's willing to do that and if gets into a jabbing contest Fury wins.

    Even Fury's lessening mobility still makes him more fluid in the ring than Joshua. Despite appearances Fury has better stamina a better chin.
    Fury VS AJ is now heavily in Fury's corner look at the differences between the a common opponent in Whyte, Fury boxed his head off and took him out. AJ had to survive some worrying moment before stopping Dillian.

    Usyk is the wild card.....More than capable of beating AJ again...unless Joshua can pin him down and really attack and land big shots like he did in round 5 or 6 in fight 1. He's faster than Fury and far more agile but Fury is just soo much bigger and so much better with his jab and knowing how to fight against an opponent and stick to a game plan.

    AJ - Wilder is the same story as V Fury. He's got to find the AJ of the Wlad fight be prepared to get into a dog fight and go into Wilder's wheelhouse and land combinations...Problem is that's hard to do. IF Wilder's fights as hard as he did in fight 3 that could really sap Joshua's gas tank and we all know Wilder only needs 1 shot and Joshua has a shaky chin... I'd lead toward Wilder at the moment he know what he is... Isn't going to change. Joshua think's he's Lennox Lewis and he isn't.

    "Joshua I think is a better fighter than Wilder by a significant margin"

    Even if that were true Wilder is clearly less vulnerable: he'd never lose to Andy Ruiz or any man like him.

    "As for Joshua/Wilder. Joshua walks through him"

    Joshua doesn't walk through anybody these days: when was the last time he KO'd anyone inside 6 rounds? In his last four fights and four years he has just one KO win: a shopworn, inactive Pulev at the very end of the 9th. Against Wilder, AJ would be terrified of the one punch power (he basically admitted as much before he'd even lost) and he doesn't have Fury's attributes to implement an aggressive gameplan. If Wilder was in trouble early knowing the threat AJ poses he would empty the gun on AJ early (which he didn't need to do in his non-Fury fights) and AJ, given his known vulnerabilities, would be in massive danger.

    There's also the question of perspective: have you historically underestimated or overestimated Wilder? Have you historically underestimated or overestimated AJ?
