    hes gonna get his ass handed to him either way, regardless of which excuse is most likely to stick to the wall. so choose whatever excuse best helps you sleep.

    Excuse #1 in the chamber. How soon before the acute ******ation sets in. Don't forget alcoholism and obesity.

    Preemptive excuse already beginning. If Fury gets Ko'd by Joshua I'm genuinely concerned about the effect it would have on the mental health of certain posters here

    I am convinced based off the fact that every since the nandrolone thing went away, he no longer needed to have the mental illness excuse. And we have not heard a peep out of him about it. Something like mental illness does not go away like a common cold. He used it to make people look away from the fact that he cheated using PEDs. If he truly had mental illness problems, wouldn't we hear about it some time within the last 3 years? Boxing fans have given Fury way too many passes. Passes for never defending a title. Passes for fighting Euro-bums in between the Wilder fights. A pass for taking PEDs. So to answer your question, I guess I am speculating. But it's a pretty good bet that I am right. I saw right through Wilder for all these years and I see right through Fury the same way.

    We all want to see that fight. But I would like to see it with no excuses and no hang ups. If Fury is so confident that he can beat Wilder again, then do it. AJ cleans up the Usyk fight and then the fight is set, with no hold ups.

    Is it difficult being that savage?

    I guess. I just think he beat Wilder both times and we should just move on to Fury vs Aj. Then we can see who the true champion is. It's a 50/50 fight but I've always had a feeling Aj stops him in round 9 by TKO

    If Fury fought and beat good competition, I would say he wins. But he has been floored by lessor fighters, got caught on PEDs and has gone 12 rounds with guys he should have KOed in 3. Meanwhile AJ has fought or offered a sight to most heavyweights within the top 20. And he has beaten everyone he faced. This all tells me that fury will be exposed just like Wilder was.

    Well he did beat Klitschko easier than Joshua did and he beat Chisora and Wilder with ease too and Klitschko is elite level while Wilder and Chisora are around World Level. Good wins.

    But Joshua does have the better resume. And styles make fights. To be honest with you ever since ive seen Aj vs Wladimir I've always said Joshua will catch up to Fury skill wise and when they step in the ring Aj would work Fury and stop him late. I fully expect Joshua to fight an agressive fight against Fury unlike Klitschko and break him down with body shots. Fury doesn't consistently fight world level competition so i think Joshuas power and skill in this fight will shine more than most people think. But i could be wrong and Fury destroys him. Who knows

    Fury has had a very impressive work ethic since he has come back. He has remained disciplined with his diet, training and boxing. When you do these things, you will be okay. He agreed to fight Wilder even though he was at best 50-60% when the entire world was screaming that he needed to take a few more tune ups.

    AJ cannot maintain intensity for more than 1-2 rounds, Fury will take full advantage the moment he sees AJ getting tired and gassed. No way will AJ fight at a casual pace against Fury.

    Not intensity like a full blown bumrush like he did to Klitschko. But he'll move forward and press the action. Similar to Canelo vs Smith.

    You have to remember Fury isn't the same as he was against Klitschko. At 260+ has actually slower than Aj however now thats his fighting weight. He weighted in at 254 against wallin and claimed to be weight drained. He can't fight below 255 and be strong and confident like he used to. Fury will box at range but Aj isnt going to be perplexed with feints and some moves like Wlad was. He'll let his hands go more and be keen on exchanging with Fury.

    Even wilder was able to catch Fury, Joshua will too, and it wont be just 1 or 2 punches

    How is he protected? He’s got the most top 10 wins on anyone else and fought a hall of famer Klitschko only 3 and a half years after turning pro. Then he fought Povetkin only 5 years after turning pro. What was Fury doing in 2011 and 2013? I can tell you that even 11 years after turning pro he was still fighting ranked 50 heavyweights like Schwarz and Wallin(who he nearly lost to). He’s now about to fight Fury for undisputed as well. That’s the opposite of being protected.

    Fury is one of the softest punching heavyweight world champions in history. Behave.
