    Let me guess.... Frank "Mechanical Man" Bruno???

    A fighter that was that slow he looked like he was punching underwater??

    A fighter that had already been battered twice??

    A fighter who turned into a frozen chicken every time he took a good shot???

    Last time I checked, Joshuas chins only really been tested once and we know what happened.

    Bruno lost twice, who on Joshuas resume is in the same league as Smith or Spoon.

    Joshua is no better than 16 fight Bruno.

    Yes we know what happened, he knocked his opponent the fcuk out.....

    I'm sure a certain Journeyman going by the name Jumbo turned Bruno into a fighting drunkard when he landed a shot....

    Bruno lost to those guys end of, doesn't matter if they were better than any of Joshua's opponents, he still got KTFO....

    Joshua is and will prove to be better than Big Frank....

    What's the difference between a 16 fight Bruno and a 16 fight Joshua.

    I'll let you ponder that for a while.

    Fury's been dropped about the same number of times as Cassius Clay was in the 1960s.

    I find it ironic how much you're bigging up Joshua, the latest of the media hyped highlight reel KO artists, while you don't rate Mike Tyson.
    At least Mike Tyson went on to justify a large part of his hype.
    Joshua hasn't done that yet.
    Of course he might, or he might not.

    Fury is a lot more fluid than Joshua, added to the fact he just beat the dominant champ. His boxing skill is proven, he would frustate AJ and out point him. I could see haye doing a chisora on him as well, caught clean AJ has shown he can get hurt, a guy like haye would be all over him. I like AJ but I am a realist, it will be a decent run until he is exposed. When was the last bodybuilder you saw as a genuine champ, lugging that into the later rounds. Didn't work out for frank either, yeah they are different but I see some similarities in their story.

    Fury is fluid and dominant?

    He hasn't had any defenses, and really hasn't fought anyone outside of Klitchko. That's not a dominant champ.

    Fluid? Fluid?!? Fury??? If by Fluid you mean the consistency of diarrhea then I agree.

    With the Tyson question it's pretty clear he would be too fast and explosive. AJ would also struggle to land a big punch, he has no where near the ingredients needed to beat prime Tyson. Almost tailor made at this stage, too mechanicals not my view.

    When Fury has a career half as good as Ali's maybe I'll take that one.

    Who doesn't rate Tyson? He was a very good fighter no doubt but let's not pretend he was doing things Joshua isn't at this point in his career.

    Holyfield was "a bodybuilder" too.
    And Klitschko.

    Yep. He more fluid than Joshua wouldn't you agree?. I didn't say he was dominant, I said he beat a dominant champ. Read post next time
