    Who wins Tyson from the Berbick fight or Joshua from the Martin fight. You could ask would Joe Louis from the Braddock fight have beat Joshua?

    I don't think AJ has the best set of whiskers. He's also there to be hit. For someone so huge and muscular he doesn't have that thick of a neck and his head seems too small for his body.

    Tyson early

    Absolutely. The Bronco Billy Wright that lost to Moorer would beat the Martin that Joshua beat.

    Of course he would.

    But lets wait for Joshua to develop and finish his career before matching him with Tyson..

    Yes, Tyson was on another level to Joshua.

    If Joshua ever beats a Berbick-level fighter we can begin to discuss it.
    On the available evidence, I can't say Joshua would beat the Berbick of the Tyson fight, nevermind the Tyson of the Berbick fight.

    I believe Fury, if he gets past Wlad, Wilder or anyone else, will burst this kid's bubble severely.

    There's only a handful in history that would probably beat peak Tyson. Joshua isn't one of them. Martin is terrible. Joshua is young and promising, he could become a really good fighter especially given the now weak era.

    The Tyson that beat Berbick was as good as Tyson ever was, Joshua is still developing. Saying that Tyson never met anyone that big, hard hitting and aggressive as Joshua.

    I'm confident that he will.

    I hope Joshua and Fury remain unbeaten long enough to fight each other with world titles at stake.
    I expect Joshua to come in as favourite, and Fury to beat him. And shatter the dreams and hopes of all the excessively politically correct and fake plastic people in the UK. :lol:

    You think Fury will win? Can't see it myself tbh. I reckon Joshua knocks him out in devastating fashion.

    The fight for me is Joshua v Parker.

    When parker KOs takam, they both will be ranked top 10 in the HW division. I see potential In both but like I said before I actully rate Parker higher.

    Unless Joshua improves a lot, I can't see that.
    Fury's an adaptable boxer, the real deal. He might fight ugly but he's got smarts.
    Joshua so far, is just a guy with muscles, some speed and some power, and he'd faced no one.

    Not being funny but up until he met Wlad all Fury had done was being gifted a decision against John McDermott and beating Chisora.
