The general boxing thread

Fury is a cheap gobshite.

Joshua will beat him if they meet

This would be a good time to repeat my question. What does Joshua have in the locker to be considered a favorite vs Fury?

[DiamondGooner]

If AJ loses to Fury & Wilder he’s a handsome Audley Harrison

Wow.

Possibly, put down of the decade.

But I don't recall Audely Harrison having 3 belts if not 4 belts plus beating Wlad, Povetkin,Whyte and Parker.

In the end Fury is the boxer, Wilder is the unorthodox puncher and AJ is somewhere inbetween, great power and good boxing skills.

I'm happy to just wait and see who beats who before I start fangirling on any fighter, I respect them all and think they're all good in their own aspects.

If I was ever going to fan girl over a boxer it would of been myself back in the day.

Consistency

Belts

Professionalism

[Jedi]

Unless he's going to bring the belts into the ring and try to whack Fury with them, i don't see how they help on the night of the fight. As for the other two, Klitschko was very professional and consistent but it didn't help much. In fact i could see it being a very similar fight to the Klitschko one.

I just haven't been impressed with Joshua. His best fight is vs Klitschko but he was 41 and he nearly lost. After that, didn't impress (and got hurt) vs Takam, didn't impress vs Parker and was losing to Povetkin until he landed the knockout. Needs to beat Fury or Wilder and people in this thread will stop criticizing him. At least i know i will.

[Ach]

Fury hasn't beaten wilder or AJ. He doesn't get the criticism.

Wilder hasn't beaten fury or AJ. He doesn't get it either.

AJ has the belts. Apparently not the best in the world though.

[Santi]

If he was the best he'd stop running from Wilder and knock him out

[Ach]

If Wilder doesn't accept the fight then what can AJ do?

AJ has called him out again. No word from Wilder again

[Santi]

He could do the fight for 50/50 and prove he's the best rather than trying to be Mayweather/McGregor and being all about the cash.

He knows Wilder would relegate him to chasing 5/10 girls after he's done with his face.

He brings his belts to the table and gives Wilder half the money?

Yeah not happening. Hes better than Wilder. That's proven due to Wilder not wanting to face him and that's ok. I don't want to face AJ either,

But if he was about the money, he'd go fight in Vegas and charge thousands for tickets for rich boys and their hos rather than sell tickets normally for 90k at Wembley stadium.

Biggest draw in boxing deserves more money.

What was the attendance for the Wilder v Fury fight btw? Couple of thousand?

[Santi]

Don't know, don't care. Just can't stand AJ waiting til Wilder is past his best to fight him like with all his other opps.

Like Whyte?

Won every fight hes had before and since his one loss against.....the champ

Klitschko was the best in the world at the time hence he was the champion

[Va-Va-Voom]

Klitschko wasn't the champion when he fought Joshua, Fury had already relieved him of his belts.

[Santi]

Best in the world, aged 41 and 18 months after getting knocked by Fury? Alright...

Go argue with the wall I'm not interested enough

Almost as if he conveniently forgot that match
