    He made Klitschko look like an amateur without breaking sweat. Joshua wouldn't win a single round against him

    That's only because it wouldn't last a round. One punch from Joshua and it would be goodnight Vienna for Fury. Ignoring his mental state Fury isn't in and has never been in good physical shape relatively speaking. He just outpysched Worlad and that wouldn't work against Joshua.

    He can box, he can move, he isn't a human punchbag like all of Joshuas other oppenents to date. His style and ability to switch stance would ruin Joshua who has no boxing ability, movement or ringcraft' he's just a roidhead with a punch

    We'll know in less than 24 hours as to what Joshua can do at the top level. We'lll probably never know how he would do against Fury.

    Tbf to to Fury he is a better boxer than a lot of people give him credit for. We are sort of yet to find out with Joshua. He's definitely go the tools that's for sure. He's just yet to come up against someone who has really good feet.

    Fury is better than he looks. He is really awkward. Like Joshua he is vulnerable. Most heavyweights are. Lets not kid ourselves though, he fought the worst version of Wlad in years and ****ed him over mentally. When Wlad came out his slumber late on Fury looked like he might go.

    If Fury was in good nick he'd be awkward for Joshua. With AJ it is difficult to judge as no one has been able to take his power. I still think he should have less muscle on. I still think it would leave him leaden footed late. His footwork is improving all the time but its his weakness because he never gets to use it in fight situations. He hits them and then has to chase them as they run scared. Wlad may cause him problems controlling distance as he is good at it. Fury took that away from him and because Wlad was in a trance he had no plan b.

    Fury vs AJ or Wilder vs AJ would be the next ones you'd look at. All difficult to call. I'm not sure Fury could get in AJ's head, if he couldn't I think AJ would knock him cold. Then we'd get the excuses. I think most people would love to see Fury knocked out cold because the bloke is clearly a complete bellend with archaic views.

    I've watched Joshua for a long time. I love boxing and no one he has fought in recent times can keep up with him in terms of power and pace.

    Having said that klit is the first class boxer he has fought. He lost against Tyson because Tyson is unorthodox and imo Tyson got lucky because I don't think klit did his homework.

    Joshua is a brute: but klit has lost weight for a purpose and that is to avoid the big shots and drag it to the late rounds which is risky as no one knows if Joshua can last but it's hard carrying near 18 stone of muscle around for more than 7 rounds.

    I agree I think Tyson is under rated because people just don't like him. He is a brawler and moves better than most heavy weights if you watch him carefully. He can take a punch but you can see his punches do hurt as they are actually always well timed and hit where it hurts. Some boxers look good because they throw many punches but hardly any hit and most don't hurt.

    I've just bit the bullet and paid for it. I don't get out much and the wife likes Joshua. No idea why like. He's no where near as big as me.

    What a ****ing fight. And perfect for Joshua. Getting knocked down was exactly what he needed.

    Good fight. I was worried in round 6. Vlad just couldn't finish him off.
