    "If Fury BEATS Wilder I'll STOP TALKING FOR A YEAR"

    - Hopkins

    A class tosser right there

    I've learn't almost every facet on Fury, Wilder and AJ's boxing game. Their careers. Watched all their fights multiple times. Where they come from. What they are made of. What they are capable of. I know Bernard hasn't. Does he sleep with a picture of Tyson Fury under his pillow? I bet he doesn't.

    Give me 5 minutes to question this sucker i'll have him crying for no mas then have Joe Calzaghe slap him up afterwards. Proof that you can be an ATG boxer but still have poor opinions. Nobody has the bottle to tell it to Bernard though and the moment you do he gets defensive and runs away claiming he is boxing jesus. At least Maidana was honest and said he didn't know zip about boxing in regards to potential match-ups.

    I think Fury will beat Joshua but in the process joshua will surprise a lot of people who are simply writing him off and there won't appear to be this huge gulf of difference between them. Even as a fan of Fury I genuinly think Wilder was utter **** in the 2nd fight and may himself surprise people in the 3rd and put up a better showing. Joshua will do the same when he and Fury fight, giving Fury some problems mid range and up close that Fury will have to adapt to. Though I think Fury's skill, heart and ability to win rounds will ultimately triumph in the end, but the possibility of a dodgy decision such a draw is very likely.

    Hopkins says a black guy would win over a white guy. I should trust this as a totally unbiased opinion.

    Probably Canelo cause he's gotta shill. Not sure if Hopkins thinks Canelo is white though. :D

    If Fury is at his best, he'll definitely beat Joshua.

    However, he is rather unpredictable.

    Exactly, Hopkins makes his picks based on race.

    Joshua has exhibited a good jab and that always gives even the best fighters trouble , I think AJ has a good chance of taking a decision because the physical advantages Fury depends on won't be there against a good boxer like Joshua.

    Fury is better but Joshua is dangerous as hell. Anyone who thinks this is an easy fight for Fury is fooling themselves
