    Fury would be the second most skilled opponent outside of Usyk, and AJ has already lost to less (Ruiz).

    AJ has great power and a reasonable amount of skill, but so did Wlad.

    At this stage of his career, I don’t trust Fury’s chin to take many of what AJ will dish out.

    Prime for Prime, I favour Tyson.

    Joshua beats everyone in hypos his rabid fanbase creates. If only his skills could pay the bills, he wouldn't have 3 losses and no belts.

    By any chance did you read the quotes from Wlad yesterday on this topic?

    That will be Fury soon once he loses to Usyk again and if he don't retire after the Usyk fight he'll lose to Joshua aswell making it 3 losses.

    What's funny is Fury should really already have 3 losses Usyk, Ngannou, McDermott.

    Fury performed considerably better against Usyk than Joshua did. He also made easy work of Whyte.

    If you’re going to use their performances against common opponents as a gauge, we should use more than the ones that suit your arguement.

    It’s also pretty well known that Fury very much performs to the level of his competition to a degree, for better or worse. (Wilder 3 was his worst performance of the Wilder fights, Wallin/Ngannou lackluster performances).

    An unbiased view of the AJ vs Fury match-up is one that sees it close to 50/50 I think.. Both good fighters. Fury has more tools in his toolkit, AJ is a harder puncher and more disciplined (in and outside of the ring, lol!)

    Fury pushed Usyk harder granted but they still won about the same amount of rounds which was 4. And Joshua never had a 10-8 round against him in 24 rounds against Usyk like Fury did in the 9th round. And Fury was lucky the referee didn't rule it a TKO either.

    My take on this (for what it's worth, since I'm frequently wrong) has always been that Joshua has the tools, but that there's a questions whether he has the right attitude. If he shows the kind of dog that Dubois did against Hrgovic I'm sure he takes it, because Fury is vulnerable when pressed due to his poor fundamentals and Joshua has the size, power and arsenal to punish mistakes like that most harshly.

    But if he flinches and resets every time a jab lands, like he did against Helenius, then Fury can stay safe on the outside and score just enough like he did against Wlad. You have to press him to get him to expose those flaws.

    Of course he does.

    Since AJ destroyed Francis, I was of the opinion that Fury would suffer the same fate.

    He most certainly did not do any such thing.

    Fury got knocked out on my scorecard, and on that of many other observers.

    Usyk has already beaten Fury twice...once by 9th round KO and then on points.



    If they ever fight, expect AJ to stop the big gypsy.

    Its too bad that Fury didn’t get KO’d, the ref didn’t stop the fight, and your “scorecard” doesn’t dictate how fights play out.

    Fury performed well and gave Usyk his toughest fight (according to Usyk, I understand your “scorecard” may say differently though…)

    Usyk got a well earned victory in a good fight, it’s too bad haters detract from a great win…

    AJ stopping Fury is definitely a possibility, he’s a good finisher and Fury has a so-so chin, even though he has great recovery abilities. Exciting match up…

    Yeah, Fury loses the hypothetical matches, and Joshua wins them. Have any other brilliant posts to make? How is it that someone can be such a relentless fanboy of a fighter and completely lose objectivity.

    It's unhealthy to have another grown man be your hero.
