Klitschko was gassed IMO, a younger version ends the fight.

Joshua would struggle to get a connection in, Fury has a style that is absolutely nothing like any other fighter in the Heavyweight division. He's as awkward and attacks from all sides and his reach would give him a massive advantage.
I never thought he'd fight against but I reckon this will only motivate him to come back. Joshua, 90,000 again at Wembley and a chance for redemption
Just makes too much sense
I don't agree. He had an impressive match on his career when he defeated Klitschko in points, in Klitschko's worst performance of all time. Klitschko was totally unprepared, one of those events which no-one predicted.
Since then, he has fought depression and has been fat. There is no way that he can reach the level needed to defeat Joshua. That trip has sailed some time ago.
Setting it all up. What does that even mean in boxing terms? You're deluded.
Maybe if the fat tramp gets off the coke we might find out. Don't count on it tough.
They were too wide.
As great as that fight was, Fury and Wilder will have watched that with delight.
Fury has enough ability to outbox Joshua for 12 rounds without training another day. Unless he gets dropped, he'll be favourite to school AJ.
Wilder will see AJ's continued lack of head movement, gassing and requirement to take backward steps after a painful shot as every ingredient he needs to win a fight. Besides, Wilder throws shots from wide angles and in sharp, unconventional fashion. He will always back himself in anyfight with Joshua at any minute.
As for Wlad, he could dominate Joseph Parker after the summer if he chose to do so. That would be far easier work and become champion once again. He should in my opinion but he's a winner every night going home to Hp regardless.
And don't forget, he was seconds away from stopping AJ. The motivation and ability is still there.

Your last sentence could do with meeting the first two.
Angel or Turkish?
Fury doesn't need to be that good to beat Joshua. He just keeps his distance and jabs Joshua all night and Joshua won't be able to close the rang. Fury is even better at keeping distance than Wlad and he has longer arms, is faster and will not tire the way Wlad did. It will be good to see, its either an easy knock out for Joshua or a points win for Fury.
Indeed, but still the lineal champ. It seems as though his achievements have been forgotten with the AJ hype.
Haven't seen them cards, they had that KO loop non-stop, some poster here told me they had Joshua up.
Yep, ditto, few meh rounds but then some awesome ones. Kind of by the by now I guess.
So the last 17 fights were just a fluke? This was the heaviest Joshua has ever been.

No really he is not, he is a clown , all that is bad with British Boxing.
I have seen the way he behaves out of the ring , the man is a pig, thinks he is better than everybody else , has no respect for anybody or anything.
Personally I think he's a disgrace and a complete moron, the only reason I would ever wish to see him in the ring again is so he can get completely destroyed and see his ego broken alongside him. Then he can feck off back in to obscurity.
Fark....still can't get over how a 41 year old performed in a massive HW title fight.
I think it was 17.5m for each of them.
That's why I said if Fury gets back to full fitness. If he doesn't he can't beat AJ. If he does he will just fight at range and out point Joshua.
Fury you mean ?
Joshua has some serious power when he puts it on. No one cant stand up to him. His problem is pacing himself and dangers in punching himself out
Thing is I guess, given judges seemed weirdly reticent to score rounds 10-10, even if there's nothing between them, if you have a few rounds like that, you can easily feel your guy is four rounds down on where they should be i guess.
A fantastic boxer who'd sit AJ on his arse if he got back into shape.
I for one do not want to see Fury in the ring ever again..
Not sure I agree with that. AJ has some serious skills
A great fight between two classy boxers. I thought Klitschko would box out the fight (surely he was ahead?) but AJ did what he needed to do. And feck Fury, boxing doesn't need an injection of Christian fundamentalism.
Wlad gets two points for his knockdown, but not AJ?
What by a few pounds? He isn't going to cut muscle and come in significantly lighter, he isn't that clever.
Rubbish. Have you even watched Fury's career? He struggled against absolute bums at times and was dropped hard by a cruiserweight in Steve Cunningham. Fury would need to be at his best to stand a chance. I agree that Fury's movement could cause Joshua problems but Joshua has significant hand speed and immense power.
Wlad was up on one but the other two were too wide for AJ.
Steve Cunningham managed to, and it's certainly not the first time he has been hurt in his career. The Wlad fight seems to have warped views on Fury. Joshua has too much speed and raw power for Tyson.Joshua would struggle to get a connection in, Fury has a style that is absolutely nothing like any other fighter in the Heavyweight division. He's as awkward and attacks from all sides and his reach would give him a massive advantage.

Just makes too much sense
People here are seriously underestimating Fury. The lad schooled Klitchko in middle of Germany, he made Klitchko who's famous for his movement look like a bloob, Klitchko barely landed a single blow on Fury.
Fury despite all of his antics and shenanigans possess a brilliant boxing brain, big frame, massive reach, incredibly awkward style and moves like a welterweight.

Neither can I, I honestly didn't think he was 41, how does a 41 year old do that....
And Sir Bobby Charlton would walk into United's team if he was 55 years younger.
That's the thing. Against Wlad, you need to box a bit reserved because you can end on your knees any moment. Wlad had extreme punching power, could KO every one easily.
Against Fury, Joshua would be more offensive and don't be that much scared of getting KO. Fury has power, but not enough to KO Joshua. Which kind of gives Joshua the advantage.
I'm 45 and my cardio fell off a cliff about a decade ago. For someone like Wlad to go deep into a HW title fight is incredible.
Neither has Joshua really, both very well matched
1.) That doesn't change that Fury is a scumbag of a man, and 2.) I can't agree. The love in for that man on this forum is bizzare.
I haven't watch for years until tonight, why do people dislike Fury?
Haha! Well done.
Okay. Still Klitchko dropping the pressure after 6th is a bit odd, he had strength and energy left but he just backed down.
And it happened right in the moment I was commenting here and to my dad that he's showing something he never had in his career - heart.
