lets say Hearn and AJ offer Tyson 50/50 to face Joshua and he accepts, how does the fight go?

I think Fury wins on points with relative ease...

I honestly thought Fury was done when I watched those farcical comeback fights but he proved me to be completely wrong last night and on the evidence of last night he’ll school Joshua no problems.

AJ and Wilder have the same chance against Fury which is land one knockout shot on him otherwise they are both just getting their heads boxed off.

It’s clear he’s on another level in terms of Boxing skill.

I fucking love the big gypsy bastard as well. Never been so happy to be proven wrong in my life.

To be fair, it's not just you, @Yolo Swaggins , @Sister Sledge and @ChampionsForever had laughed at the idea of Fury as #1.

Joshua is much more static and easy to hit then Tyson, and he doesn't have Tysons feints. Wilder gets through with his shots more consistently against AJ, it could turn into a fire fight and be over in 5 rounds either way, love to see it. At the moment, Wilder is facing much better opposition than Joshua and I'd give him the edge because of that. There's no fucking way they would risk Joshua facing Ortiz and fury back to back

Edit: wrong thread

AJ v Fury- Tyson is all wrong for Joshua, Tyson feints him and boxes rings around Joshua, there is a reason Joshua never talks about facing Tyson

It will never happen as its obvious Hearn and Co. Have no intention of setting up a fight with Fury or Wilder.

If it was by some miracle made as a fight Fury would need to knock AJ out but with that said even that might not be enough.

If the fight was 100% kosher AJ would get Lacy'd by Fury no doubt in my mind.

I think Joshua has better boxing skills than Wilder but he is static at times and now appears to be more cautious then before which would actually work against him in this, we all know he won't outbox Fury he's a level below in terms of skill and boxing IQ. He is a pretty compact fighter tho and has very good finishing instincts so i wouldn't write him off, There's every chance Joshua would loose to Wilder tho, he wouldn't be able to box the way Fury did last night and in the end Fury did still get dropped twice no doubt Wilder would catch AJ and more frequently then he did Tyson. Joshua was the real looser from last night, especially after Hearn and himself disparaged the fight beforehand, AJ apparently couldn't see anyway Tyson would win and was talking about fighting Wilder even if Fury won.

Tbh after last night those comments sound like they come from a man who's more then a bit worried about fighting Fury, I think most fans now view Fury as the rightful number 1 regardless of how many paper belts AJ holds Fury is the liniel champ and the man who beat the man whatever Hearn or AJ say until Joshua fights and beats Fury he will never be viewed as the real champion in many eyes. Fury schooling AJ would be a disaster for Sky and Matchroom, bit hard to be sold as some machine if you'v just been toyed with.

How much dough does aj need tho the big stiff weightlifting dosser???

If he was a true fighting man he’d say fuck it ed give him what he wants just get me the fight, i want to prove im the best man in the country.

But, he dont giv a fuck. Like every nigerian i have ever met, hes after a pound note more than anything. Sickening greed tbh.

I'd like to see Fury play this one smart and have a good rest, letting AJ-Wilder have a War before he takes on the winner. There's no way he spirals into depression after Saturday, so if AJ/Wilder happens he could focus on keeping himself ticking over and building towards being 100% for a fight and having a gameplan for the winner.

Fury's adaptability is such an advantage, he's a cerebral fighter who can change it up when required against either opponent.

The thing that is fascinating with Wilder for me is his patience and despite his technical flaws I believe he is also a cerebral fighter too. Always assessing his opponent and looking for weakness, very focussed and calculated. He'll always need 5 or 6 rounds to get going against top opposition unless they make a mistake. Very unorthodox in that he is willing to be so open-minded about getting through an opponents defence, he'll look to get to your chin from angles other fighters don't see.

It was great watching Fury befuddle him in the fight, Wilder though was never disheartened and his patience so nearly paid off.

I'd make Joshua favourite to beat Wilder but the danger is always there and if Wilders chin holds up Joshua could be bang in trouble. I do think if Joshua walked Wilder down with a high guard he'd stop him but if he's more cautious then he is vulnerable to Wilder landing bombs from the outside.

I'd give Fury the edge against either due to his boxing mind and movement but if Joshua puts him down I don't think he'd let him off the hook.

It would be a travesty if we don't get to see these 3 fight each other in 2019, strike while the iron is hot FFS and make Boxing great again!

Does anyone think AJ beats Fury? Anyone?
I think if you polled the casuals the majority would pick AJ to win. But if you polled a boxing forum, which consists of hardcore, they'd go for Tyson. Also the so called "boxing people" But the hardcore and boxing people have been wrong before.
I consider Saturday Tysons best performance, but the thing is can he produce the same again?? To do so he'd have to maintain that eagerness and motivation to train like hell again. We 100 percent KNOW that AJ would, he always does.
So though I picked Fury Saturday,very tentatively,Im sitting on the fence here until the match is made and I see how they are preparing.

Why?
Eddie Hearn wants to keep selling out Wembley with his man drawing in mega-bucks against Whyte, Pulev, Miller and maybe an Ortiz

He could leave those two to slug it out again and pull in a ludicrous amount of cash with his man defending the 3 titles, claiming to still be no1 and shifting huge ppv numbers.
And not even worry about having to justify why he is not unifying or facing Fury or Wilder because they are tied up.
He can take his Whyte grudge match, make his mandatory vs Pulev and Miller
Abd in a year and a halfs time the winner of Wilder and Fury will be an even bigger fight than it is now, those 2 will be that little bit older and have been through a more testing affair against each other

When all the dust settles he can fight the winner tens of millions of pounds richer and still say he fought the best
Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself of a load of bollocks. Did you succeed?
