Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: who will you be rooting for?

AJ all the way, but id hate for him to ruin the Usyk fight. I really want to see that fight.

 

Fury. He may be annoying with his constant contradictions, but I've always hated the hypocrisy that surrounds alot of AJ fans. Living in the UK I heard people **** on Wlad for years for having no personality and for his opponents faced....we then get the British black version of Wlad who is just as boring and everyone loves him and constantly bangs on about the same opponents they used to **** on as if they are incredible names on his record.

Plus Fury winning is better in terms of having a clear cut standout HW for this era. If AJ wins what happens? He goes to school again to be taught by his favourite teacher Mr. Usyk?

 

The irony of that comment after Joshua's post Usyk fight rant.

Laughable.

 

Not a fan of either. If I've got to make a choice I go with Fury. Hopefully he will then, if he doesn't retire, fight Usyk. I really would like to see an undisputed champ. Surely that's what everyone wants to ultimately see?

 

They're both douches, but i like seeing the underdog persevere, so i'll be rooting for Joshua. Then again, i'd love to see another AJ post-fight meltdown.

 

I'm rooting for Fury. I'm not particularly a fan or hater of either guy but a Fury win makes a follow-up fight with Usyk even bigger. If Fury loses then the biggest fight in boxing disappears. That would really be too bad.

 

Fury cause i wanna see Fury v Usyk for rights of top dog.

 

I hope Fury baits and jive talks AJ, as i do wonder if the best of AJ would come to the fore if pushed in that way, as for all AJs limitations i cannot imagine it would be a nice place to be sharing the same squared circle if he was rather peeved, even with Furys defensive skills, Fury is still a big ol target, as the Joe Louis quote goes "He can run but he can't hide"

AJ has nothing to lose, Fury however does.

 

The intriguing thing with the AJ fight is for the first time a long time he won't be facing someone much quicker than he is.
AJ doesn't like speed at all. Usyk, Ruiz and gun shy against Parker all point to this but Fury is a big solid lump who doesn't have particularly fast hands.

 

I can't believe that I'm actually saying this, but I'm rooting for Joshua. He's showing courage and fighting spirit going from Usyk right to Fury. No questioning his heart.

Fury, however, would rather fight the loser of the big fight rather than stepping forward and taking on Usyk. Courage arrow pointing down....

 

I like both. But if Fury wins, he'll **** about again and we'll have a year of "BLAH BLAH is ducking Fury!!" while he faces a sucka. So maybe AJ...if anything, just to see the annoying fanboys STFU for a bit. Plus that would be a HUGE bounce back win.

 

Like both boxers Fury wins this.

 

Fury. I genuinely question the mentality of people who ‘prefer’ Joshua.

Fury is obviously flawed and hypocritical, but he is what he is. Joshua is a highly polished product who has gradually showed his true colours.

To me, it’s absolutely obvious he’s not a nice man.

That said - credit to Joshua for taking this fight.

 

Although I favour Fury and want him to win, credit to Joshua for taking this fight on so soon after the Usyk loss. If Fury continues with his approach of a more aggressive style and AJ can get back some of his seek and destroy mentality of the past, it could be a cracker.

 

Joshua has been thrown a lifeline by Fury which apart from a massive purse also has the incentive of the WBC belt on the line,it is simply too good of an offer to refuse,Joshua has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Taking the Fury fight is a complete no brainier compared to any other options he may have at this moment in his career .
