    Wilder will be the lineal champ if he wins - which is a very fair reflection of the scale of this fight.

    I think Joshua beats him h2h 8 times out of 10 if the fight happens in the UK. But in the mean time Wilder would have beaten a prime age top level HW in Fury, which Joshua can't claim.

    Prime age? What is that? Surely there’s simply prime, as in, at their very best.

    Fury has 1 win over the same Klitschko that was apparently 'shot' against Joshua.

    This is a perfect 'Number one contender' clash.


    Fury v Wilder

    The guy who beat the best in the world.....But has failed to prove it wasn't more than a one off.
    v
    The guy who has beat 39 men.....Of whom none were World Champions.

    Age won't be an excuse for Fury if he loses. It won't be prime Fury after the way he abused his body for 18 months - but Wilder is at least stepping up to fight a top contender before he starts needing prostate exams.

    Number 1 contender to whom? Joshua hasn't done enough to put himself head and shoulders above the pack. He also couldn't get the deal done with either of these boxers - so they are left to fight for the #1 tag as they are at least willing to fight the best opponent.

    Fair point.

    Some might say Fury isn't at his best and I have to say that, after watching Fury last two fights, he hasn't looked like a stand out. However, Deontay is not responsible for whatever shape Fury is in. Deontay has given Fury a title shot and its up to Fury to get himself into championship form.

    If the fight happens and if Wilder does beat Fury he will need to face Lennox Lewis to be claimed Lineal. Right now the Fury fight is nothing more than a voluntary defence against another fringe contender who hasnt proved hes really fit to give it his best shot.

    I’m sorry, but Joshua by all accounts is number 1. Wlad was number 1 by some distance. Fury became number 1, but then because of the 2.5 years that followed he was rightly removed. Wlad returns to number one. Joshua beats him to unify and then Parker to unify again.

    Fury would have to prove to be a top fighter again to be even considered. As it stands, even as unlikely as it is, Fury is simply a guy that caught Wlad on an off night. History will remember this, unless he proves different.

    All Joshua would have to do is step up to fight the winner of Fury vs Wilder to prove you correct. We'll see if that happens or if he wants another couple of years age on either of them before he is willing to.

    Wlad was 41 and gave him serious issues. If he had of gotten 41yr old Wlad out of there in less than 6 I'd be on the hype train myself.

    I rate Joshua the best of the 3 given Fury's current state, but he needs to fight the other top guys in their prime. Parker could have been that challenge but was an easy win as his team are novice level in terms of preparation and tactics.

    I don’t mind this take at all, however, Fury has been labeled by some as washed up or a shell of his former self which in my opinion is utter bollocks. A win versus Fury at this moment has lost a bit of luster but it’s still technically a bigger win than anything on AJs resume. Who’s number 1 now AJ for sure his performance versus Povetkin has received unwarranted and borderline biased criticism. AJ isn’t much of a grabber and he patiently selected his moments in the fight because he knew the opportunity would present itself around midpoint of the fight. Wlad used a different tactic won more rounds not by completely out boxing Sasha but by stifling his inside attacks with strategic holding.

    Fury is awkward, confident, big and resilient. The best trait he has is he hasn’t taken much punishment in his career with two warm up fights and 2.5 years removed from taking mileage you can argue he’s primed for another run. This fight is huge both literally and figuratively. The winner should take on a 5-10 type contender and then face AJ 2020. The heavy weight division has been admittedly dead for a good portion of Wlads reign mainly because he was so dominant but you’d be blind, death and dumb if you thought Wlad reigned in an era full of the personalities and talent that we have currently roaming the HW division today.

    Good, nuetral, unbiased take, I agree almost 100%. Only thing I might bicker about is pushing the full unification out to '20.

    I’ve been doing a ton of forecasting at work and it’s always wise to stay conservative with predications lol. I’d love for the fight to take place pre 2020 I just don’t see it happening.
