Fury vs AJ looks like its set for june Fury would be out the ring for 18 months by then

Do you actually think it’ll be an easy fight for Fury?

 

To be honest im not so confident Fury beats him.
Had the same feeling with
Lomachenko vs Lopez. Joshua wont be gunshy like Klitschko and wont be backing up like Wilder. Maybe Fury goes in there and absolutely destroys Aj or Schools the crap out of him i wouldn't be suprised. But the Gypsy King has always reminded me of Prince Naseem. Hope he doesn't end up like him

 

I am not so sure Joshua won't be backing up. We shall see, and this is just one of many storylines that will build a ton of intrigue. Can't wait.

 

Well Joshua knows He doesn't have the reach advantage like he did against Pulev and Ruiz. Im 99 percent sure he'll go in there and hunt fury. Will that work ? That remains to be seen

 

I still think Wilder was the harder opponent for Fury.

I don't see how AJ could beat Fury. AJ is too robotic and too slow to both move and adapt.

 

80/20 Fury

 

Wilder with no reach advantage, no height advantage (the way he fights he needs the height), and an opponent who is still able to at least keep his hands up in round 12 is really a Wilder who has stripped of 75% of what made him effective.

I believe AJ would be an easier opponent for Wilder than Fury (has taken a KO loss, a little shorter, a little less gas tank, less head movement) and a harder one for Fury than Wilder (more versatile offensively, has shown multiple styles, and perhaps stronger in a clinch).

 

Joshua would destroy Wilder. Styles obviously make fights. Fury not only leaned on him, he was also agressive and worked on the inside Joshua is far better at this. Wilder cant fight up close. Fury who is one of the most slippery heavyweights in this division was still caught by Wilder because Wilder loves to stay comfortable at range and keep that right hand loaded looking for the right moment to blast you out. When you pressure him, make it difficult to set up a right hand and fight him up close, he's a sitting duck. He has no tools in the pocket.

 

I'm not talking about who wins, I'm just talking about relative difficulty here.

If you designed a fighter most likely to beat Wilder you would end up with someone more like Fury than AJ. To fight inside you first have to get inside and that requires good head movement, the endurance and movement to keep pressing, and a highly reliable chin.

 

Joshua loses a very close fight. It will be so competitve they will do a rematch.

I see Fury getting put on his back.

 

Aj isnt THAT robotic, Wilder lacks proper coordination. Thats why he always waits and waits until you're in the right spot to get punched. Aj has the tools slip and counter and throw combos quickly. I think Fury proved you need a punchers style to take him out and Aj fills that role better

Cool, so the Fury hype is ending soon.;

 

I wonder if the bodybuilder spits out his gum shield again. Joshua's only chance is going ultra aggressive. He might have a chance, Fury isn't as durable as Ruiz.
