Fury is the least brawler-type fighter you’ll ever see, are you confusing him with Dylian Whyte? He’s pure technique and that explains how he gets the better of everybody he steps in the ring with regardless of their style of boxing. AJ couldn’t even move his own legs until about 3 years ago ffs
You're so far off the mark I think you've entered another Galaxy. Fury is a better boxer, fighter, media man and everything inbetween. His technique and his strength are as of right now, unmatched. Joshua will quite easily lose this fight.
AJ wins this fight if he gets on top early, so the Fury you watch would set his stall out to wear Joshua and his solid muscle-state into a tired mess by round 4 or 5, at this point you see how fast Fury moves. The bloke moves like a cruiser weight, and AJ has struggled to put away any fighter who has moved at speed. AJ would have to approach this fight as if he’s constantly in the 12th round and 6 points down, he’s have to go for the KO cos not in a hundred million years does he beat Fury on points. Not even considering how much Fury will **** with AJ’s head in the build up either.
I’m not saying brawler. I’m saying fighter which, at least to me, is a slightly different beast. Fury can adapt to the opposition and has more than one string to his bow in how he fights. He does have an excellent jab as well but the way some are describing Fury I thought I was reading about Ali. He’s good but not great, not in Ali, Frasier, Holmes class. I’m not saying AJ is either just that he is better than most seem to be giving him credit for. And yes AJ can box and yes he has a solid jab but he doesn’t strike me as a fighter which is why I figure Fury would beat him. It’s all relative as I do think the current string of heavyweights are limited and that includes Fury but obviously the ones at the top are the best of those around today.
while I agree I wouldn't rule anything out .. it's heavyweight after all. It has a habit of delivering surprises. I don't really see where AJ has any advantage bar punching power. There is some suspicion surrounding Fury his whole career with testosterone levels.. I like the guy , but there's certainly been a few questionable things that have been leaked out.
I've got to laugh. I love how polarized some people get with boxing. They get so behind one fighter, every other fighter becomes garbage. Fury fans are particularly amusing. They've created this invincible picture in their head. Wilder fans had it until Fury, AJ fans the same until Ruiz. I rate all three in different ways, and all 3 are certainly capable of beating one another. Fury would be top of the three for me, just because he moves better than the other two. But these Fury fans are completely deluded thinking he can't be beat. As we've seen plenty you can hit him clean, and at heavyweight it only takes one. He has also been in a few close 12 rounders so they need to get that **** out their head really. AJ hasn't suddenly become a mug. His record in terms of names is easily the best of the 3 fighters. He's had to do it the hard way in the limelight the whole time. He got accelerated a lot quicker than the others, despite having limited amateur experience. To be honest as rich as its made him, and as quick as its got him in the deep end, I'm not convinced its done him many favours. He has had to sculpt his body a certain way instead of being boxing ready, and I think up until the Ruiz loss, he stopped developing which is always dangerous for a boxer. If he had padded his record better like Fury and Wilder have, he would be a better boxer for it. He actually moved a lot better in his last fight, and he did generally earlier in his pro career. In terms of their general persona etc. They can all get ****ed for me I have to say. Fury is a bigoted twat for all the good he does for mental health. Joshua pissed me off with all the BLM ****e (though he seems to realise now he got duped) and there is something fake about him. And Wilder is a thick bell end who is just about the worst example to young people in terms of **** he says. All three are not great for boxing in terms of their all round persona but I struggle to name many boxers who are also great men with no serious flaws. Personally speaking, put any of the three in with Lennox Lewis and they'd have got marmalized. Again though Lennox could throw in an 18st can't be bothered night.
Just different levels for me. Riddick is a funny one because we never really found out once his mind went doolally. He seemed afraid of Lewis. Mind people talk about how diminished Tyson was when he fought Lewis, I think they forget how much Lewis had lost by then. He'd gained a lot tactically but if people actually went back and watched early Lewis, he was ****ing vicious. No one wanted to fight the ****er. Remember Razor Ruddock, he knocked that **** off his feet in round 1. But yeah I think all those guys would have sat above the current crop.
I think Tyson in his prime was the best.. he took Holmes out in 4 rounds and holyfield went 11 with Holmes on his next fight. it a all it's and buts we will never know, so you have to just go with what happened and what happened was Lewis was more professional and therefore ended up being better than Tyson and that's the bottom line . all the names listed would beat these marketed robots like aj and wilder I think fury would do ok though he's a proper fighting man that started very young.. wilder and Joshua didn't even start till like 15 or something..
I think Lewis would have smoked Fury in no time. Tailor made for Lewis. Fury wouldn't be able to outthink or outbox him, and Lewis carried serious punching power. He also seemed extra motivated by the opportunity to smack white people in the face Golota was the best in terms of that, he seemed really angry and wanted to pummel him. I think I'd rate Lewis the best. Not only physically gifted but a proper student of the game. Skills wise he is as good as it gets. Could clearly throw in a terrible performance though. Its so hard to say though because Tyson at his peak was unbelievable speed wise. It is very hard to read how Holyfield and Lewis would have dealt with that, and how Tyson would have dealt with heavyweights who could hit him back and not just **** themselves. Who knows but I suppose its created a talking point for years. I blame Don King and Rock Newman though, those fights should have happened naturally. Their involvement with Tyson and Bowe, meant we entered the new boxing era of dodging fights by making silly offers to fellow fighters so they could side step for a payday. Sad really when you think of the fights that got canned. Holyfield I reckon was the toughest of the three. Proper iron bloke him, given he was small for a heavyweight too. His chin was absolutely ridiculous.
