    I think it’s obvious that in the next 2-3 years they will face each other
    Fury-Wilder 2
    Joshua-Wilder
    Joshua-Fury

    These fights will happen. Who will come out on top?
    I don’t like Joshua but if I would have to make a huge bet, I would bet on him. I think he would knock out both. But if Fury would outbox him that wouldn’t be a surprise. Also Wilder can knock him and Fury out too.

    Or maybe Fury gets knocked out against Wilder, but Joshua knocks out Wilder, than Fury is outboxing Joshua and still cannot say who is the best heavyweight around 2020.

    If it ever happens then it's Joshi who comes out on top.

    Fury... he put on a **** ton of weight, did a **** ton of drugs. Took 2 really crappy fights and still gave the current knockout king all that he could handle. I imagine with more fights on under his belt he’ll make it look easier

    Prior to Fury demonstrating he still has it versus Wilder I'd have went with AJ. While I still solidly favour Joshua against Wilder, we now know Fury does. I view Fury vs Joshua as 50/50 so taking all that into account I'd go with The Gypsy King.

    Admittedly I am a big fan of Fury as a personality as well as a fighter so may be a touch biased in his favour.

    You'd need to be crazy to put your house on Fury doing anything.

    But he's clearly the best, best-for-best.

    Fury will easily decision Wilder.

    Not sure what happens after that but I think when/if Joshua ever faces Fury, Fury will win that as well


    He has no power, but he is light years ahead of Wilder as far as being elusive, fast, and very effective with his countershots

    I would pick fury over Joshua too, but it will be a hard fight for Fury as Joshua has more ring savvy and skill than wilder

    But Fury beats them both, given fair judging

    I had 300 pound on Fury against. I knew he is going to win, I never understood why was he the underdog.
    “In shape” Fury can beat any heavyweight, and Roach, Hatton, Abel Sanchez etc. said before the fight that he is ready

    If I had no choice but to bet, it would have to be Joshua.

    I think stylistically, Wilder is an easy fight for Joshua. Fury would be the much more difficult stylistically, but Joshua is disciplined enough to win enough late rounds in a close fight against Fury.

    Voted Joshua.
    It’s a tough call, cos I think Fury is the most talented for sure - but in a 3 way vote I think Joshua has the most upside. Joshua wouldn’t be lost at sea vs Fury to the degree that Wilder was, he would be outboxed but not embarrassed. Joshua is ferocious when he decides to put it on people though, and his strength and ferocity could be the determining factor. For that reason I see him blowing through wilder too. Wilder is the wild card (no pun intended), but when people are brave enough to put him on the back foot he is bullied and looks shaky. Fury had moments when he put Wilder on the back foot and had real success - I think Joshua as a stronger man, and with lore of a vicious streak would look to put wilder in that position way more than Fury would.

    Fury is the technically the best, but would still pick Joshua based on overall upside advantages.

    None but I would exclude Wilder, who is not in the class of the other two.

    Fury or Joshua, leaning towards Fury.

    Interesting to see that no one voted on Wilder. Yeah, in pure boxing skills he is behind, but with the Ortiz and the Fury fight proved that he can take out anyone anytime.
    If Fury gets up half second laters it’s all over, and if he managed to drop huge Fury twice (Klitschko who dropped Joshua wasn’t even close to hurt Fury) , ha can land a right hand on smaller Joshua too, who doesn’t have a titanium chin.

    For me it wouldn’t be a surprise if Wilder knocks out both. He has 36 minutes to land that right hand, and he always managed to do it somehow, even though he was keep losing the rounds against Ortiz and Fury
