    Fury vs Joshua would be a much bigger fight, and lets be honest, Joshua vs Fury is fight that we REALLY all want to see. I'd like to see Usyk vs Fury, but the money would be double for this fight, and it's the one that we all wanted from the beginning.

    Usyk vs Fury could be good, but it could also end up being a massive snooze fest also, where as Joshua vs Fury would definitely be entertaining.

    Fury isn't going to get under Usyk's skin, he will with Joshua.

    I've got a feeling Fury would rather cash out against Joshua, rather than Usyk.

    It makes sense. I've got a feeling that Fury is waiting to see what happens in the Joshua vs Franklin match, and then he'll call out AJ.

    TL;DR

    1. There's more money in AJ vs Fury
    2. There's more entertainment value
    3. Despite Usyk having more belts, he just doesn't have the draw that Fury or AJ have because, despite the fact that's a great athlete and boxer, he's quiet and reserved, doesn't get rattled, and doesn't produce knockouts at this level, all of which turn off the casual fan.

    It is a bigger fight because ultimately the PPV's is what generates the money for a UK fight

    The Saudi's are the ones who bring silly money

    Fury AJ would have been record setting but bodybuilder keeps getting chinned. Still breaks 1 million PPV's easy in the UK. Would have been double that if AJ wasn't getting knocked over everytime he gets touched by small men.

    Fury will duck anyone who has a chance of beating him. AJ is physically stronger than Wilder and better at fighting big men with his short, sharp combos and uppercut around the clinch

    Not saying AJ beats Fury but there's a danger he could, and as we've seen Fury won't fight people with a chance of beating him. I question whether he will even fight Joyce after watching his mate Parker get battered

    tl;dr Fury only cares about the commercial value of his O and, ultimately, about himself. People defending him act like he's gonna invite them to his birthday party or something. Actually cringe

    AJ can't fight inside to save his life. Usyk battered him in the clinch. LOL. You think he could even last 1 minute in a Fury clinch?

    Joshua needs to come back with two or three wins for the fight to get interesting again.
    We want Fury against Usyk or Joyce and nothing else.

    Nah, Joshua is still a threat. Being outclassed by Usyk doesn't mean much.

    Personally I'd rather find out who the best heavy of this generation is with a fight between Usyk and Fury.

    Fury Joyce* but I respect what Usyk brings to the table.

    All the stuff laid out in the original post applied just as much to last year as it goes this. If Fury was making no effort to fight Joshua then I don't see why he would now.

    Usyk and Fury are the 1 and 2. Joyce isn't in the top two for beating Parker.

    Who beats Joyce but Usyk & Fury?

    Neither Wilder or AJ can handle him. Wilder breaks his hand of his dome and that's the fight.

    Disagree.... If you are a casual supporter... Or from the UK then probably.... But boxing enthusiast would far prefer Usyk vs Fury... First undisputed heavyweight in decades...What is not to like

    Fury puts aj in the hospital and ends his career

    aj needs to worry about his next fight. If Franklin comes to win joshua could be in trouble
