I like Joshua, he's a decent fighter but expect him to be comfortably beaten by Tyson Fury next year. Wouldn't mind seeing AJ Vs Wilder after the rumoured two fight deal against Fury.
Pulev is a durable fighter, he's made life extremely hard for some good technical boxers. Pulev showed his age, but he's a nasty bast*rd at good at the dark arts. Joshua in his last 2 fights have made me thing he's got a good chance against Fury. 12 months ago I'd have said no chance, even without the Ruiz loss. His boxing skills and all round ring craft have increased massively. If Fury gets hit by AJ in a combo then he doesn't get up like against Wilder. It'll be a bloody amazing and fascinating fight. Hughie Fury boxed wonderfully tonight, Okolie is a machine and will be a world champ early next year.
Oh and to those who say Joshua won't get a combo on Fury, if he catches him a combo will follow. He's got the fastest hands in the division by far. He initially stuns an opponent then comes the follow ups. Only difference with Fury is his ability to switch to southpaw at will, a Fury family trait.
Yes most of them... Why is he immune to an uppercut? He's a good fighter but not that hood AJ won't get to him at some point and that could be an uppercut.
it’s good to see those fast hands back. He put far too much muscle on and slowed himself down, got like Bruno. I think Joshua is looking good again but I just think Fury will beat him.
I’ve illegally streamed this fight and I still want my money back. How is anyone watching anything AJ does and thinking he beats Fury?
Remember Wilder hit him, and I really really really don't rate him. He's a one trick pony who banged out bums or boxers who were at the end of their careers. His training methods are dog dirt and nailed on all the rubbish weights he did to increase punch power will lead to him being physically knackered by the age of 50.
Surprised people are being so dismissive about AJ. Technically no doubt Fury is the better boxer, but if he lands one on Fury, which he’s perfectly capable of, Fury is in big trouble.
Fury will run straight over Joshua. Anthony can't take punches. He has no chin, no stamina, he gasses under any pressure. He was in tonight with an old man who barely had any offence. Game, but just a punchbag. Fury could box AJ to death, or knock him out. Depends how he feels. It's not even close. Feel free to bookmark this.
Styles make boxing matches, but if Joshua closes the ring the uses his angles correctly then it'll be close. In the words of Harry Hill only one way to find out...........FIGHT
His biggest issues his gas tank. Every time he throws combinations he has to take rounds off to recover. Had that burst in round 3 & it was almost down to a walking pace for the next 5 rounds. He faces Fury next & loses wide on points or gets stopped late. He doesn’t face Fury & he has to face Usyk or lose a belt & it’s the same outcome. Both are more skilled than him, fitter than him & have better footwork than him. Of course there’s always a huge punch but both have great chins & you’re going to have to land repeated power shots to put them away which I can’t see happening.
