If Anthony Joshua (or his team) choose Hughie Fury as a opponent for November - what do you think about ? For me, it would be mismatch, and Fury would have only theoretical chance to win. Joshua is bigger, better and stronger... I predict early KO/TKO - 5 rounds maximum.
Lot of peple vastly overrating Joshua's power. He's got some, some he ain't prime Tyson. I don't know, and neither does anyone else. It all depends on Fury's chin. He is definately a more skilled fighter with better stamina.
Wrong Fury is calling, Tyson should ring him up and hope for a consolation title shot after Wlad takes the belts back.
Unless Brezeale has a very special chin (and the fact a near 50 year old Mansour put him down in 3 and a club fighter in the 2nd suggests NOT) ... Brezeale taking 300+ clean shots and lasting into the second half of the fight suggests Joshua's power definitely isn't otherworldly. In fact, truthfully it makes you take a second look at fights like Cornish, Avilla and Martin where the guys were 'knocked out' early looking like they could complete a marathon directly after. I'm certainly not suggesting a big early KO% helps sell lucrative PPVs, but it hasn't done Joshua any harm.
I think Fury can frustrate Joshua and make him look pretty average. He will be very awkward and not as easy to hit as any of Joshua's opponents. if his chin holds up it would be interesting to see if AJ has the tank to walk somebody down for 12 rounds. Don't rule out Fury just yet as AJ still hasn't faced anybody who can actually box.
Joshua can punch, he can punch extremely hard. It is obvious, thanks God, we have You tube, everybody can check. Maybe, he is not so movable as he should be, but his punching power is 10/10. He is not prime Tyson, he is taller and has much better reach. The power could be the same, or similar.
For Hughie to win he has to run like a thief for the first 4 or 5 rnds and take Joshua in to the late rnds and attack as Joshua runs out of steam .this will be easy said than done for hughie but is a remote possibly.
Fury maintains a slick upper hand for about 2 rounds then Joshua starts finding range and hurting him in the 3rd of 4th. Fury weathers the storm and the two go to battle in the 6th. As a fan of the Fury's i want to say Fury wins but gotta be realistic, he's a real underdog in this.
I believe Hughie is more skilled. That been said, I do not know how good his chin is. I can see him boxing circles around Joshua if this lasts the distance.
