joshua v fury

I'd like to see Joshua vs price first.

 

Joshua v Whyte,Price and Hughie Fury are all really interesting fights in the near future.Joshua will never be a smooth boxer.Its not gonna happen.You cant change a guy who started boxing at 18 that much.Its like trying to turn Bruno into a smooth backfoot boxer who slips and counters.Never gonna happen.That's where a powerful box-brawler like Whyte who has a tad Ibeabuchi about him has a chance.Joshua wont outbox Whyte,at some point they will be trading bombs and again its a matter of who lands first.

 

Still not sure where to place fury ive seen him look bad and good and he does seem better now than a couple of years a go BUT he has not fought a top heavy yet so im still not sure about him. He is tall awkward and boxes well and moves well but at times looks a little worried when defending shots and im not sure his power is enough to stop a top heavy walking him down. I just hope he fights a top guy soon

 

AJ and Bruno have little in common bar physique. Josh is a much superior athlete, and an Olympic gold medalist(lost to Savon IMO).
AJ will be world champion, unless he has punch resistance problems, as athletically and offensively he's got the lot.

 

Chisora is to small to beat Joshua it would be an easy win for AJ.

 

i agree he's got more potential than Bruno.He's also more intelligent which also gives him an advantage but i still feel his physique and the mechanics he's shown at the Olympics and so far as a pro will hold him back.I think he will lose to either Price,Whyte,Fury or Hughie.I'm not saying they would all beat him but at least one will expose some of the flaws i see.

 

Me the fanboy? I think you will find everything that I have said is rather fair but you have just taken a fighter you don't know and know very little about and have accused him of all this stuff as if you have met him on the street. You must be a Fury fan with the hate you have for Joshua, I like both guys as fighters, Fury talks a lot of **** but he is very funny, and I think you will find the most viewed fighter in the world, Floyd Mayweather, doesn't have that nice guy persona but he puts more bums on seats that anyone so if anything the nice guy image doesn't pay off as well as the villain persona.

When someone plays a character in boxing it is generally that they play the bad guy because it gains huge interest because everyone has an opinion, when you have a nice guy you have some people love him and want to see him win and then everyone else like I don't really care, because they don't split opinion like a villain does

 

Joshua is a very sound boxer. Technically very good, defensively open at times and can be a bit robotic, maybe footwork isn't the best either but everything else to me is either very good or untested, i.e. chin. Not seen loads of Whyte to be honest but what I have seen isn't all that impressive, yes he looks good but nothing to suggest world level in the future.

 

Miles off the mark putting Chisora in with the likes of Skelton and Sprott.

The lad did well to come back from his loss to Haye by grabbing a european belt and fighting the likes of Gerber and Scott, and managed tio get himself into a world title eliminator fight with the best heavyweight in the country (currently)

 

I think that pasting from Fury may seriously have dented DelBoys desire to fight again, and his desire was probably his best attribute.

 

Fair point but money talks and I think Derek can make a few more quid out the sport yet by being a gatekeeper/test for the young heavies coming through, Joshua/Hughie etc.

I hope hes not finished anyway, hes a nobhead but at least hes not bland and boring.
