    Fury isn't stronger than AJ, he's just smarter in the way that he fights. He's a natural born fighter who's been fighting since he was a small kid, and comes from a family of fighters. He knows how to fight naturally, AJ is less of a complete fighter, doesn't know how to use his body in the same way as fury.

    I agree with what you're saying here except I guess we see strength differently. For me it's like who would win in a grapple for example

    Joshua is clearly the stronger boxer but he doesn't actually know how to use his size and strength as the Usyk fights showed. Fury's superior technique, size and skills in a clinch will negate any strength advantage Joshua has.

    It's an interesting question. In terms of functional strength that translates to boxing then probably Fury. He's naturally a bigger man.

    Joshua's physique is a bit deceptive, I don't doubt he's stronger for classic weight exercises, but that doesn't necessarily translate over to boxing.

    Grappling isn't just about strength though there is technique involved in grappling and that's where Fury has the advantage over Joshua, not in strength but superior knowledge in how to use his size in a grappling situation.

    Aware of that. I suppose we'll never know the answer.

    More importantly it'd be nice to see the outcome of who the better boxer is some time in the future. Again, I doubt we will see that decided in the ring either
