    Fury is bigger than Joshua and has a longer reach, and can wear people down with his jab when he uses it.

    But Fury has been knocked down multiple times during his pro career, and Joshua is a strong puncher with better skills than Wilder.

    It's an even matchup, all things considered.

    Yeah Fury needs to rough house him for the first six, be smart and elusive then roll him over when he's gassed. Just drag him deep and he'll fold.

    Used to think Fury would box him to a fairly easy UD. After he started sitting on punches more, I don’t see why he can’t KO or TKO him.

    AJ is getting a little underrated these days. He is not a bum but rather, a very good heavyweight. However Tyson is a stylistic nightmare for him.

    The general consensus on AJ is that he performed better the second time around vs Ruiz Jr & Usyk. He does seem to be steadily improving, adding some new wrinkles to his game. If Joshua continues to learn and comes in shape mentally & physically, I see him being a much tougher fight for Fury than Usyk would be. I think Usyk is awesome, and beats anyone except Tyson.

    Fury won't be able to rough house Joshua, because Joshua is physically bigger and stronger than someone like Wilder.

    As I've said in numerous threads, yes I think Fury is the favourite vs Joshua. But I don't think this is the forgone conclusion everyone thinks.

    Joshua will be one of Fury's most dangerous opponents, Fury has been hurt and floored numerous times. Joshua is heavy handed and has much better technique than someone like Wilder, I think Joshua is a live underdog in this fight personally.

    I hope AJ brutally knocks down Fury, so that Fury becomes a humble person and starts talking less.

    Fury needs to get a beating. It will help him better his manners.

    Fury beats Joshua however he wants. If he wants to come in lighter, use more movement and box from the backfoot he wins a clear decision. If he comes in heavier he destroys him seek & destroy style like Wilder II and Whyte.

    I agree with all that. This is clearly a tough fight that Fury needs to take seriously. But I disagree with the first comment. Joshua may be big and strong but he hasn't shown a willingness to use it. He is poor at initiating clinches and fighting in them. Usyk was pushing him back!

    Fury kicks his ass.



    :lol:

    @lordlush gets carried away boozing at the computer and loses his connection to the outside world over a boxing match.


    :lol:

    He wouldn't honor it. The alternate account would be registered as soon as the fight was official.

    Fury wins but in a well fought hard competitive fight.

    Anyone thinking its a walk in the park needs to lay off the glue.
