FURY -Vs- ANTHONY JOSHUA. Who wins?

[Peat56]

I tend to think that AJ is far superior to Wilder, and so if Wilder could floor Fury twice, then AJ could do much worse to him. I tend to think AJ can win.

Then again, maybe Fury would do the same to AJ that he did to Wilder.

Thoughts?

[gilgamesh]

I'd favor Joshua, but Fury would undoubtedly give him problems.

[the13r]

I think Joshua would have more problems hurting fury than Wilder had but would take him out if he did. Fury could take AJ deep, make him miss and pay for that ridiculous muscle weight late in the fight

[Canvas]

Joshua hits nearly as hard as Wilder but can also box and has a well rounded skill set.

AJ by KO over Fury.

[ObJuan13]

I lean Fury

[marciano1952]

I lean Fury

[Tocsin]

If Joshua also gets every benefit of the doubt judging, he wins.

[Mayz]

I'll say AJ KO.

If Wilder can hit him twice, AJ will hit him much more...

Fury is a slippery customer, and his boxing will give Joshua problems, but fighting 12 rounds without being hit by AJ is a big ask. Wilder hit him twice and he can't box...

I'd lean toward AJ too but Tyson's smart, hard to predict what style he'll even fight. AJ won't be as shy as Wlad was to pull the trigger vs Fury BUT saying that AJ can't afford to take a hard shot given his chin either. Fury's not a power puncher but he's def got enough...

Either way hope the fight happens, can't fuckin wait!!

[mekane]

Fury decision. Fury is one of the most skilled HW of all time. His only weakness is he gets sloppy and careless.

[5_burowz]

Joshua knocks him out

Hey man! The Brits are back in town! Not seem you post since my comeback, good to have you back buddy!

This will be a cracker of a fight now, gotta break all records...

[dwightmac83]

Good fight. I lean toward Fury just in case Joshua can't catch him. Also hiw will AJ stamina hold up with Fury moving so much. Its a toss up fight hope it happens

Here's the thing about AJ, he is an excellent boxer in a classic and polished style. Its the very reason I think Fury can beat him. Tyson is super unorthodox and because he is so unpredictable, a fighter like AJ (and Wladimir) find themselves in some very unfamiliar territory. Sure anyone can clown around in the ring, but Fury is a not-so-sneaky good boxer, has length, quickness, confidence and as we saw with Wilder incredible stamina and resolve. So what he looks like a giant jelly roll on stilts...that jelly roll will roll off your punches, and have you wondering how you just got out boxed by pastry.

BTW this was also the reason I thought Wilder would KO Fury. Wilder is also just as unpredictable, just substitute the skill with outrageous power. what happened to Fury in the 12th and mid fight is what I thought would be the pattern...Fury acting like a clown expecting Wilder to do what other boxers do only Wilder does what he thinks he should do and would find Tyson awkwardly.

[Tocsin]

I don't get the stuff about Wilder being unpredictable, you're talking about a guy hugely reliant on the same shot over and over, and with very little combo variety. Joshua has a broader punch selection, varies his combos more, and has a more developed inside game, albeit he's not as quick handed.

Because of Wilder's power the drama can come out of nowhere, but his style itself and the way he approaches things isn't unpredictable at all. I think these things get mixed up a lot, because Wilder is actually on the more predictable side of things style wise.

Wilder doesn't have boxers reflexes (for lack of a better term) which makes knowing where he'll be and where to attack him unreliable. Take my guy DSG (yes I've seen his recent fights). We would joke often how he clipped guys with hooks with his eyes closed. Thats because there are certain spots that you can predict where your opponent will be because of some familiar sequence. Wilder is one dimensional absolutely, but he's also doesn't rely on familiar sequences to be effective. He's a seek and destroy guy who leaves room for improvisation.

[Tocsin]

I just don't see it, even though it gets said a lot. I watch Wilder and his actions are very predictable and it's largely the same punch over and over, usually the pawing jab-right sequences, almost all from the same range.The drama (the effects of his actions) can come out of nowhere with him, because if he gets through he's obviously got some serious power, but I don't think his approach itself is really that hard to predict.

I also think, importantly, AJ has one of the best uppercuts in the division (KO'd Wlad, KTFO Whyte, badly hurt Breazeale), and he can work from more ranges than Wilder can and do more damage if Fury goes to tie up (see AJ stopping Wlad). But Fury is definitely a better mover than AJ, and AJ does plod at times, so it's definitely a fight where AJ faces the risk of being outpointed and having difficulty establishing an effective offense. And how will AJ react if he's starting to get frustrated?

I do question whether Fury would get a fair shake on the cards though. He's the B-side and his style in general often doesn't really put things beyond doubt.

Good to see ya still here old son! Poke my head in every so often when I can (usually when theres been a big fight to see the aftermath ), dont get on here enough though for my liking!

Good to see a bit of excitement and debate going on about the HW div at last

[Kev_OS]

Joshua controversial decision.

[Bulldog]

Id go with Fury after that last fight I think wins a UD, AJ is a better boxer than Wilder but that has some cons in a Fury fight, AJ is a very orthodox and by the book, that helps Fury.

[empanek]

I'm not convinced we saw the best of Fury against Wilder. He still has a lot of room to improve his conditioning. Give him another training camp or 2 and I bet he comes in much better shape and avoids getting caught. I'd favor him to outbox Wilder and AJ at this point... he has won me over.

[gino7799]

Joshua by controversial decion......lol That’s usually the way it works in situations like this.

[jeff_lacy_ko]

Joshia wont overthrow a right hand for 11.5 rounds. He will adjust after 4 and knock fury out
