Fury vs Joshua might happen instead.

all those words and you should’ve just said “I’m a massive casual”

 

Joshua just changed trainers again and is coming off of back to back losses. He needs at least a tune up, a step up, and a serious challenge before he can leap at Fury.

 

One of Joshua’s biggest weaknesses is fighting inside and in the clinch… Why do you think he boxed long against Parker and the Ruiz rematch? He is not a good inside fighter at the elite level, Ruiz 1 and Usyk showed that.

 

Didn't we already have the run around regarding negotiationing Joshua fight ?

 

Nobody wants to see Fury give the bodybuilder a mental breakdown again.

 

Joyce vs AJ isn't an easy fight to predict imo. I may favour Joyce but he will get tagged alot

 

Disagree hugely. Usyk and Fury is THE fight to make at the moment and anything else is a huge let down.

The hype round a Fury AJ fight has largely gone amongst genuine boxing fans imo. Would still like to see it one day (be good as their final fight each in a couple of years) to but there's multiple I'd rather see before it in the HW division:

Fury Usyk
Fury Joyce
AJ Wilder
Joyce Wilder

I would be more hyped for all of those than a Fury AJ fight right now. And I'm British.

Huge Fury fan but its becoming very difficult to support him after his antics in the past 12 months. The Usyk fight is the only one which is acceptable right now after the Chisora debacle.

 

If Fury vs Joshua gets made I'm going to enjoy seeing those alphabet boys in America go RAGING CRAZY hahahahahaha lol.

 

Joshua don't want it
Fury don't want it
Usyk don't want it
Wilder don't want it

Nobody want it

 

I’d much rather see Fury Usyk before anything else.

At this point I’d like to see AJ fight Joyce or Hunter before he gets into the ring with Fury.

Although I have my suspicions that AJ will retire this year, so I doubt we’ll get a Fury Joshua unless it happens this year

 

This is dumb mate. You're picking fights where AJ acted cautious due to outside reasons (shite ref for Parker and PTSD for the Ruiz rematch) and outright ignoring fights or moments where he's not to get some kind of pro-Fury message across. You'll notice across all of my Fury bashing that I still give the bloke his props where he deserves them. No fighter is below praise or above criticism mate. It's called being a fan of the sport not fanboying boxers as being fraudulent paragons of our society

AJ's best range is mid-range, I admit. This is due to his background in the amateurs, being with Rob for so long into the pro ranks and probably how his body functions. He's robotic and throws combinations. 1-2s, hooks, blah blah. At a longer distance I think AJ is worst, and someone like a 2015 Fury or a 2021 Usyk would completely outbox him

However AJ isn't useless at close range and people like yourself and M*n*q saying this are outing yourselves as cazzies. AJ is a much stronger man than Wilder, has thicker legs and a wider back, and won't be pushed around initially. No, he doesn't have the natural size and strength of Joyce so is prone to gassing out later on, but neither does Fury who has a far bigger bodyfat% than both. AJ, unlike Wilder, also has elite power at a shorter distance. He rocked Wlad with an uppercut, dropped Ruiz for the first time in his career with a short, sharp combination on the inside, was punching holes through Pulev and so on. Even Usyk took some damage against AJ in his 2021 Tottenham domination. AJ clearly lost that fight; Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world right now and possibly the best heavyweight since Lennox, though I admit he needs far more than 4 heavyweight contests to be toppling Wlad or Vitali. However, Usyk WAS marked up in that fight and scarred for life. AJ carries power at any distance

I love how tools are beginning to seriously underrate AJ for losing to a boxing magician and P4P #1. Yes, AJ is a complete joke and would get battered by a man who charge people £30 to watch him fight 32-12 Derek Chisora on PPV. Luke Fury could steamroll every eavyweight on earth and in history, he just chooses to defend against journeymen. His next contest will be against an equally fraudulent MMA champion who has also recently been exposed. No, boxing is not so cut and dry or black and white. There's a reason the Ring title was on the line for Usyk-AJ2

 

Joshua is all wrong for Fury.
