Fury hasn't fought in 3 years

He is finished


Yup.

Don't know an awful lot about football but you've got common sense when it comes to boxing. Credit for that. ;)

Joshua's best win is against Fury's leftovers.

He was the one to end Klitschko's dominance and show everyone he's beatable. He broke Wlad mentally.

He also did it with ease, Joshua went life and death with Wlad.

Can't wait for the Gypsy King to come back and put these peasants in their place.

The shithousery will be unreal.

It's telling when Joshua's one and only hope of beating Fury is him gassing out.

Well Boxing is a sport.

If Fury can't keep up with AJ that's his problem.

Still, AJ could knock him out anyway.

In all seriousness, whats Fury done to even get a shot at AJ?

Done f all in three years. Let him have a couple of fights, see what his level is at and then AJ might take a look

I know that.

My point is skill for skill there is no comparison. Different levels completely.

Jesus some of the opinions in here.

AJ for me personally is far from boring, he's a Gentleman gangster, for me that's the best of the best, he's got honour and morals but he's not above giving someone an ass whipping, best of both worlds and it means he's got a solid mentality for this game.

I'll tell you what I find boring, the hype job merchants like Fury and Connor, this isn't WWE, tbf there is a place for all personalities in the game, variety is what keeps it interesting but I prefer your Wilder's and AJ's, BJS is a funny fker but his talk is better than the action in his fights.

As for whether or not he'll be the best UK HW ever ..............

How can anyone judge that at this point? he's only had 21 fights and has Parker and Wlad on his resume.

If he beats Wilder the only UK HW even on par with him is Lennox Lewis who is the current no1.

I was impressed with AJ's composure in his last fight and I believe it was the weight loss that allowed it because he could move his arms into position quicker.
After that performance and tight guard / composure I'm a lot more confident he can go against Wilder now who's form is pretty sparse, if AJ can get to him he'll be in trouble.

AJ may be robotic because he's a big guy so what, guess he can be the Terminator of the division.

Lennox Lewis when he got fat was worse than Robotic, he was a Man-Island with a jab.

Klitschko said Fury was the most awkward and frustrating fighter he ever fought. That is some compliment from someone who was around the division as long as him.

Fury definitely has a lot of talent. It's a shame it's not matched in his professionalism.

I'm not impressed with the way pro Gypsies fight, safety first to an extreme degree.

BJS and Fury are the same, they bore their opponent into making mistakes.

Personally I'd love to see that twinkle toes fat fairy get battered by either Joshua or Wilder.

BJS vs GGG would be good though, love to see if GGG can corner BJS and make him fight for once.

There's boxing then there's just plain and simple anti-boxing.

Muhammad Ali boxed, RJ boxed, Sugar Ray Robinson boxed ......... BJS just pecks his opponents for 12 rounds.

You don't have to be a fair weather fan to say that its boring as fk.
