The Boxing thread

AJ is a far better boxer than Wilder, he's just not as good as Usyk(Usyk vs Wilder would be comical btw). AJ still has better feet, better ring IQ, better technique, better combinations, better punch variation and selection and he can finish far better than Fury can. He would hurt Wilder first IMO(better ring IQ and feet) and as soon as that happens Wilder is done for. Wilder has a punchers chance against any of the ring top 10 I will give him that but most of them are good enough to close the distance and catch Wilder on his suspect chin. Wilder was able to catch people on the way in against his semi-professional level of opponents(one of which still nearly knocked Wilder out in his first 10 fights... and people want to compare him to AJ...ycmiu) for 80% of his resume and against the journeymen he was fed for all but 2 of his title defence opponents(annoyed me that he used the "10 title defences" media line in the pressers). But I always suspected he would get found out against any of the true top 10 level boxers. Many of them would have finished Wilder off early(apart from a few of the names that shouldn't be there). I thought Fury let him off the hook and nearly paid the price if anything.
Fury shrugged off about a dozen punches that would have ended AJ in one hit tonight nevermind a succession of them amongst everything else. AJ would only stand a chance if he wore him down, he wouldn't go toe to toe like Fury did and the liklihood he can avoid taking one of those hits for long enough to give him a shot at winning is low. Fury is better equipped to avoid him and he took plenty of them over the 3 fights. I'd back Wilder 9 times out of 10 to knockout AJ
 
AJ can certainly talk up a good fight but then loses his shit in the ring, I don’t like these rematches straight away, if you lose why should you have a clause to say you fight that opponent again, that’s my beef with boxing atm.
 
Fury is a very savvy fighter. To do what he has done and change, in fights, from a boxer to a brawler to a mauler takes heart, courage and skill. When you add in the sheer bulk of the man and his ability to slip, box and move, he really is quite special. I hope history remembers him as such and he goes on to live a contented life.
 
Rubbish. If you know the facts you will know that Joshua is the most over-hyped, technically limited, chinny, gun-shy, plodding, gutless, cowardly heavyweight for years.
Wilder would smoke Joshua within 30 seconds of the first bell. His first jab would set him up and the right hand puts him to sleep.
The shame is that Joshua would never take the fight. He’d rather retire (which he should to be honest).
THE most one dimensional excuse for a fighter in British sporting history. A shameful excuse for a boxer.
Well managed and matched by Hearne in order to make millions for matchroom.
What you have seen tonight is two men put it on the line in front of millions. Two brave men. Two warriors. Two champions.
I find it offensive that Joshua’s name is even being used in a sentence with either of these two.
Fury would obliterate him without a training camp. Literally he turns up and blasts him out of there. Wilder too.
A joke of a “fighter”. And a coward. A coward who has conned and manipulated the British public out of millions.
Fraudley Harrison ???
