    Fury is too fast, he moves too well. I think Joshua hits amazing combos at times but Fury's constant feinting and movement would confuse his offense.

    IMO Wlad is a much more mobile fighter than Joshua and Joshua has amazing power but a certain amount of stiffness. If Wlad could not connect on Fury, I doubt Joshua can. Fury would move in and out of range and frustrate Joshua and just potshot him throughout the night.

    He won't. You don't gain 100 lbs. and get back to same form you were, and that was 2 years ago.

    If Fury stays focused and gets back to that same or maybe even better condition... he'll outbox Joshua.

    Fury is not hard to hit now, he's about 6 feet wide.

    Tyson Fury is no Pernell Whitaker, his elusiveness gets criminally overrated over here.

    Wlad wasn't even attempting to hit fury for the most part that's the thing, its not like fury was making him constantly miss all night, wlad wasn't letting his hands go you theory sounds like but i don't see fury keeping AJ from landing for 12 rounds.

    That's why body shots were invented. Anyway, please. Fury is no better a fighter than AJ.

    Funny how people are overrating Tyson Fury due to only one performance against Wlad who didn't let his hands
    go in the entire fight, we are talking about a guy who struggled against Steve Cunningham.

    I'll say it as I've said in other threads and then I'll move onto other things- unlike Klitschko, Joshua will get inside and land on Fury, regardless of which Fury shows up.

    I suspect the Fury of the Klitschko fight could make life very difficult for Joshua. Leaning on him and tying him up. Being unpredictable - flicking jabs from strange angles to kill attacking momentum and never being in a hittable place. Using his combination of size, natural boxing nous, and innate stamina to test Joshua's suspect energy management. Fury is like a big mile-eating diesel compared to Joshua's exposive but explosion-prone F1 car. I reckon Joshua will always struggle to pace himself and be vulnerable to boxers who can employ energy draining tactics. Sadly, I reckon the "Fury of the Klitschko fight" will never be seen again. Like King Arthur or a "focussed and fit Kevin Mitchell" he will remain a mythical figure, continually prophecised to return from the traveler version of Avalon.

    That's only because he has only fought elusive in not even a handfull of his fights. When he doesn't want to be hit he doesn't get hit...and making a heavyweight miss and lumber forward drains them much faster than at any other weight.
