    Doesn't mean anything, foreman more powerful/higher Ko percentage than Ali.

    Tyson fury higher KO percentage than Povetkin. Tyson Fury can deliver punches very well

    Always said Joshua struggles with movement. We saw some of that vs Takam as he struggled to apply consistent pressure and we saw it in the amateurs vs Savon and Dychko.

    Fury wins a UD. But he has a harder fight than he did with Wlad. Wlad doesn't counter punch and failed to pull the trigger when he needed to, he simply hadn't prepared to be out boxed like that. Joshua's counter punching will mean he can punish Fury if he gets sloppy in a way Wlad never could and Joshua showed vs Wlad when he back was to the wall and looking defeat in the face he could go all out and force a stoppage. I don't think it will be enough to win but I think Joshua can give Fury the toughest fight of his career.

    Fury's win over Wlad required constant movement and therefore excellent stamina. Given what he's put his body through in the last couple of years, notably morbid obesity, I just don't seeing him regaining that level of fitness.

    AJ by mid-late ko.

    The versions that fought Wlad,then i'd go Fury.People moan about Fury's performance,but he fought the fight that would beat Wlad.No one else did.Some might say bore fest,some say master class.
    The difference being I think AJ would go looking for Fury.
    This is a pick em.If AJ don't get to Fury before 6 or 7,i think he's in trouble.It's tight.A year ago i'd go AJ ko,but we have seen him gas a bit.Fury don't have a KO punch,but might have enough to keep AJ honest.

    People need to realise, AJ does not fight as cautious as Wladimir Klitschko, therefore the Fury vs Klitschko gameplan has no chance. The only reason i give Fury a good chance in this fight is because he was able to come up with the perfect gameplan for Klitschko so who knows. I think its a early knockout for AJ. I think Tyson Fury is very overrated simply on that Klitschko win. It may well be he just matched up really well with the style of Klitschko. I still have a lot of question marks over Fury.

    Regardless, TAKE MY MONEY AND MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPEN.

    Hard to say.

    Cokehead has range, reach, and good movement

    But Joshua has more power than CH, and probably is just as fast


    but then again anyone has more power than that clown

    Leaning toward Joshua but only slightly
