    That's the thing, Fury ain't no Sanders. He isn't a big puncher at all, Joshua would walk through his shots IMO.

    Tell me again, what did Tyson do in his first 16 fights?

    Walk through them and do what ?
    Once he's through them, Fury's somewhere else. It's the angles.

    Let Joshua prove he can box a bit first. He's just a prospect.
    Anyway, Fury has to get past Wlad first. Wlad's a far more serious challenger.

    Tbh I don't think he'll need to walk through much. IMO it's not a question of if he'll catch up with him it's a question of when. Just can't see Fury having the whiskers to take shots off Joshua.

    From what I've seen AJ's chin might be a factor. His head is small and his neck isn't thick. We'll see what happens next.

    Tyson KO 2 probably. The Kid is promising and obviously has one shot Knockout power, or one shot KO potential at the least. Let's see what he can do against a solid heavy with polished skills and a chin. I can't comment on Martin's chin, but Joshua has power the great equalizer. I'm excited for him.

    Tell me again, how long did it take for Tyson to win his first title? How long did it take him to unify all the titles?

    Tyson was undisputed champion by the time Joshua won his first belt.

    What's the difference between Charles Martin and David Jaco (Tysons 16th fight)?

    Jaco had shared the ring with Carl Williams, Tony Tucker, Razor Ruddock and Pierre Coetzer prior to facing Tyson.

    Oh and he held a victory over Razor Ruddock.

    Afterwards, Jaco went on to face Buster Douglas, Jose Ribalta, Elijah Tillery, Johnny Du Ploy, Mike Weaver, Oliver Mcall, Gary Mason, George Foreman, Alex Stewart, Tommy Morrison, Bert Cooper and Adilson Rodrigues.

    Most of these guys, he fought back to back.

    Now, does Charles Martin compare to that?

    Bit of a pattern there, he lost 99.9% of those fights.... David Jaco, legend....
