Maybe Joshua would be hitting air all night, I wouldn't put it past Fury. Or maybe Fury has a lapse in concentration like he did against Cunningham. He does that against Joshua and we're talking a heavy knockdown followed by a sustained assault. Could go either way assuming Tyson really gets back on his game. I'm slightly favouring Joshua to get through at some point over the 12.
Honestly see joshua as a better version of khan. With different world class attributes and different vulnerabilities. But his world class attributes are probably better than khans fast hands and the vulnerabilities arent so costly...yet. But one thing a lot of people didnt pick up on is joshua fought wlads fight on saturday night. He got the job done...but it took pleading in the corner for him to do it. Josh like a lot of these olympians are overcoached to an extent they cant think on their feet as good as say fury. Everytime joshua went forward putting his punches together throwing leather he caused wlad big problems. It was wlad that imposed the game plan to box him and he very nearly got away with it. Josh spent half the nite trying to box with wlad. He was actually losing that fight. The penny dropped in the 5th. He had wlad going but got caught by a shot that wasnt even massive and it shut him down a lot till pretty much the elevength round when he got his second wind back. It was a great win...but to me it showed the blueprint much like khan against prescott to beat him. Obviously two different outcomes. Bombs away. I dont think a boxer will do it...it,ll be someone that goes for it. Put it on him and dont let up. Whyte almost done it with them tactics. Someone better similar will do it. Dont give him the room to work. Pressure fighter might do it. Hes got a very good hook to deter people coming in...that he does use now and again. Obviously got to be awate to avoid it. Full credit to joshua...he came through fire...but if he would have een ko,d in that 5th or 6 rounds. Everyone would be calling him the new david price today.
If for a second you think differently your knowledge on boxing is lacking mate Put simply when at any point of there fight did Klitchko have fury in trouble?
They are two different fights you can't compare them , when are all these fury fans gonna realise he's massively (fat) overrated and is only coming back for a big payday and to get his fat arse knocked out
I think your the one with an issue, honestly apart from the sky pundits ( who understandable would never knock AJ, coz they'd lose there job) if you can't see the difference between the two fights it's scary. Klitchko jab gave AJ real problems until he got tires because he's 41. Fury's jab is excellent and will be in AJ way for 36 min, that's the start of AJ's problems with Fury
Fury has never gassed even when he was fighting morbidly obese . He's got freakish cardio. Think it's due to his efficient style. Ie arm punches as other like to call it he can do that all day. And when your a giant that has excellent feet too it's a tough proposition for anyone. The other thing I love hearing about fury is klitchko wasn't motivated or chisora was fat and disinterested. When both post Fury have been shown to be in top form. It's all very convenient. Personally I favour Joshua just cos he lives the life and has so many levels to get better. Fury has to spend a year getting back to his best even if that possible. Shame he fell off the wagon he would have beaten Joshua Can't see it now
I think Fury is efficient like Lance Armstrong was efficient. Wladimir didn't throw his right until the 12th round. I think he was injured.
Anthony Joshua would be fighting someone 3 inches taller with a longer reach and a pulverising jab, who constantly switches stances with great feet and throws from different angles. Joshua is fast and powerful but I can't see him getting around Fury's jab and even when he could, Fury's footwork would get him out of trouble or he'd wrap him up in that heavy 6"9 frame. I really like AJ but he needs to avoid Fury and hope he falls off the wagon again.
in either the 11th or the 12th when he hit fury with a clean punch you could see that wlad hurt fury so maybe you should rewatch and then come on and admit that it happened also as a professional coach i can't believe you are using the old triangle theory, at the end of the day styles make fights and aj vs fury would be totally different to wlad vs fury. aj won't wait to try and counter fury and would be able to cut the ring off quicker than wlad. if fury is at his best then i slightly favour him but 1 lapse in concentration and its lights out for fury and if you take your fury tinted glasses off then I'm sure you will agree
