What, you're saying that didn't happen?

Off course it did, That was meant for the Quote "Think Fury would beat Joshua myself tbf." from @jackyboy

Your not considered a real champ till you defend them.

Errr nope. fury? He beat vlad.. fair enough. he didnt take fury serious and paid the price. up untill that fight fury stumbled thro cruisers and bums himself. his chin is like a hanging basket waiting to get smashed.. it doesnt help that its made of sugar glass too.

If he thinks he will come back and challenge at world level after doing a ricky hatton for 3 years hes massivly mistaken.

Aside from Wlad, who I'm sure did take the fight seriously, Fury has beaten Chisora (twice) and Hammer who were then much better than any of Joshua's opponents. I'm not saying Fury is particularly great. Just at this current moment he's done a lot more in his career than Joshua.

Joshua against the Vlad of 5 years ago was a proper contest.

Up against the 41 year old version who looked like a taylors dummy for 12 rounds last time out when up against a fairground attraction, and for me it's not even a close fight.

I think he could well show him too much respect in the early rounds though, and the fight could go to about 7, but his power, speed and youth does Vlad all day long for me.

As for Fury, it's probably inevitable due to the money that he'll be up against him before the year's out, but I think that'll end up being a crap fight as well.

The fight I want to see is Joshua vs Wilder in Vegas.

Wow, he beat the man who was the man for a decade but he's not a real Champ?

Jushua is the definition of a paper champ but you won't have a word said about him.

Irony alert!

That'll be an interesting fight and one to watch certainly . I've said before and I know others disagree but I'm unsure if AJ will get a Visa personally.

Absolutely spot on .

Although I do remember hearing/reading a little preflight that Wlad was perhaps a little too relaxed .


Joshua didn't particularly impress in the Whyte fight although that's the kind of test he needs and I've read people saying Fury leaves his chin hanging well if AJ is as casual as in recent fights he's going to get caught.

I agree, but it does all depend on if his fight against the Gypsy Joke was a one off bad night.

If he's truly finished, then can't see beyond Joshua.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Its healthy to see mixed opinions.

Hopefully we will get to see aj v fury in the nxt couple years

Jennings fight was a bit of a stinker as well to be honest , he was starting to look old or tired . For me it's Pulev the last time you saw much in the way of a performance .

Given his inactivity and lifestyle I don't think you'll see much from Fury when/if he comes back

He might pop in for a payday. Probably more likely to see Bellew/Fury

Absolutely, Timing is probably wrong otherwise possibly . I could see Hughie Fury or Porter against Tony.

To clarify I think Tyson Fury will fight again I just mean there is a chance you might not see too much quality given how he lives especially when not fighting .

He was puching above his weight when he won the belts.. That took 20 years of hard graft and preperation to get to absolute peek condition.

As we have just seen with haye.. after 3 years out you struggle coming in at world level.

I have never ever seen quality in Fury, he beat a completely lacklustre Vlad last time out. If that was fight too far for Vlad and time has caught up with then we will find out this weekend!

He done well to recover from the gaps when Haye called off the fights . Haye is obviously older but he certainly doesn't live like Fury despite all the rubbish on yachts and the like he puts on tv. I can't believe anybody on here doesn't know how Fury is living and that's going to take its toll.

Like I said the Jennings fight I think you could see Wlad seemed to be aging but I do think the performance of Fury was excellent.

Porter coming up to HW or Tony boiling down to Welter????

Sorry Harry, I couldnt resist. I know who you meant
