    Fury is a very good fighter a lot smarter than many believe, Joshua will be a better fighter but at the minute Fury is the better fighter and yes Joshua could KO him but it is pointless talking about this fight at this current time because they are at completely different stages of their careers and they will not fight for at least 2-3 years

    I understand fury has more experience and has fought at a higher level but i just don't see anything world level about him. I know joshua hasn't fought anyone of note yet but i do think he would have too much even now for tyson

    I can see AJ fighting Chisora in the summer, If that goes well for AJ then after that maybe it will be Fury?

    Price has said he is up for a fight. I think that would be a more interesting matchup for joshua than chisora. I think a chisora fight would be similar to the skelton /sprott fights

    Any fighter that can switch from othordox to southpaw is anything but static.

    And fury isn't a plodding, that would be fat chisora.

    You need to keep that gob shut until you learn to differentiate between fighting styles. Or better yet put on the gloves and get in the ring, to at least get a basic idea on how boxing works.

    It ain't no computer game, where the power always win's, it's just as much about ring smarts, conditioning, and heart as it is about power.

    And from joshua's drug dealing history he doesn't look like he got into boxing for the right reasons, rather to grab a quick buck because he wasn't selling enough on the streets.

    The kid ain't as nice as his pr machine coaching has lead many to believe.

    I have never been a fan of Fury but recently he has shown to me that he is the best in the division barring Klitschko and Povetkin and you can argue about Wilder. He is class, controls range well but is incredible on the inside for a man of his height. He has decent punch power but he does lack some defensive attributes which have been his downfall in his early career.

    That's laughable! Chisora is a fringe contender who has been in with some very good fighters, Skelton and Sprott are a million levels off of Chisora

    WOOOOOW! Don't go mad at someone like that for believe that Joshua beats Fury. He may be wrong but to say that about Joshua is just showing you up as a fanboy. You don't know Joshua, neither do I, so you or I cannot say that he is putting on an act, he boxes because he loves the sport and anyone can see that when he talks about it, and through the apparent work he puts in, in order to be the best he can be.

    My friend I'm sorry to disappoint you but it's all an act. He has threatened interviews on camera; The nice, boy next door persona is just a carefully scripted pr machine to get fanboys like you on board so bums gets puts on seats in believing that he is the next british hope at hw

    They're going for the frank bruno all things to all men persona

    I mean you really think he is so polite when he sells drugs to his homie thugs on the streets? ''Oh excuse me sir but I forget to remind you that you still owe monies for the tropane alkaloid I sold to you a fornight ago''

    More like ''you better give me that score biitch or I'm gonna pop some shots in your ass''

    I think the big thing is that you haven't really looked at Fury skills or if you have you have come to the wrong conclusion. No doubt about it that AJ is the more athletic and naturally talented fighter and if he keeps on his current path he is going to be the best British heavyweight since Lewis. I really believe AJ has all the tools to be the baddest man on the planet boxing wise and with more experience is the only real future threat to Wlad that I can see.

    Buuut despite his talent he isn't there yet and at this stage in their careers fury would take him the distance and pick him apart for big sections of the fight with AJ showing flashes of brilliance but losing out on ring generalship, dirty tricks and experience. Fury is much better than you appreciate and has improved vastly over the last few years, watch the 2 Chisora fights side by side. He is fast on his feet for his size, very good at controlling the ring, much better technically than you seem to think, has a good defence and can bang pretty hard himself. He isn't the clumsy oaf he once was.

    Different story in 2 years / 6 fights time though if he is matched properly.

    A guy with Joshua's physique will be limited throughout his career.He wont be effective boxing and moving off the back foot as he wont possess the natural boxing mechanics to be a smooth combination puncher.This is something Fury has.He will struggle to fight on the inside because of his size, muscles and stiffness.Mike Tyson destroyed Bruno on the inside as an example.

    Joshua will probably only ever fight one way and that will be as an aggressive box puncher walking his opponents down behind a strong jab and landing clubbing shots and that's why David Price and Whyte really want the fight.Unlike Thompson who stood on the back foot behind a southpaw stance Joshua will move forward which will put him in firing line of Price's right.Price v Joshua is a good fight i make Joshua the favorite but its a **** shoot and a matter of who lands first.
