Joe Joyce claims it wouldn't be wise for Fury to fight aggressively against Joshua

If Fury comes out aggressively he gets clipped earlier if he runs he gets clipped later. AJ is not Beyoncé Wilder. Fury should have fought in November or December 2020 whereas AJ got in 9 valuable rounds against Pulev

 

If AJ sits off Fury he will lose a clear UD, like Wlad did. I point to the last round of Wlad vs Fury as to what AJ would need to do to win. I recently watched the last round only of that fight and yes Wlad did wobble him with a left hook and Fury was hurt but he managed to ride out the round. If Wlad had started like that Fury would have been stopped no doubt about it in my mind.

If AJ starts aggressively and pushes to engage Fury it is more than 50/50 in my mind as the advantage would clearly be with Joshua. Love him or hate him there is no more dangerous mid-range fighter, at least in the heavyweights. Joshua has stopped Johnson and Povetkin, 2 solid chinned fighters that have taken almost every other opponent the distance. Joshua can seriously put the hurt on Fury if Fury lets him. Which is why Fury would be insane to fight 'Kronk style' against him.

 

Any style Fury adopts he is going to get clocked by AJ.

 

Namely.. Miniq

 

With such a tactic AJ will be gassed out pretty Quick.

 

If dude gasses with Pulev after 3 rd round then I can't imagine vs Usyk, not alone vs Dorticos or Briedis this hero A.J.
Dorticos does beat far more hard than Pulev and is more mobile " puny CW in forums ".

 

Terrific analysis Markus. Totally get what you're saying. It's also got me thinking that Joshua, pre Ruiz anyhow, was never afraid to get into a fight, amateur or pro.
I may need to re-evaluate.

 

Nobody has ever been able to impose their physicality on AJ. Bit of a bully mentality. Where as Fury with his lack of raw power has always used his rangey boxing and can rely on his size, stamina & toughness in dog fights to come out of top.

Only exception with AJ was him treating Ruiz like a nuclear bomb if he got anywhere near to close range with him

With Fury AJ won't be able to escape. McCracken will pull him out. Fury TKO late fight.

 

Your avatar suggests you have an agenda my friend. I wouldn't accept that Joshua is a bully. Dillian Whyte has a bit of that in him but against Whyte and Klitschko, AJ gritted his teeth and banged back. Even in the first Ruiz fight, he kept getting up until he was so badly concussed he didn't understand what was going on.
I've watched both guys since the latter stages of their amateur careers and I really can't remember Fury being in a dog fight. That's not a criticism, it's the sensible thing to do. Why get into a punch up and give the other guy a chance when you are the more talented Fighter ? Fury will move or grab.
Markus makes me think that AJ can be effective if he can stay in mid range and, if he can do that, he has a chance but my instinct is that Tyson will use his Boxing IQ and the sixth sense I always say he has to stifle and negate Joshua.
Credit to you Miniq, you're not one of the hysterical fan boys who pepper this site. With any luck, I'll be wrong and you and Markus will be right.

 

He can fight him on his bike like he did Wlad and get a decision, as long as Kinahan has a couple of horse heads ready.
