anthony joshua gives respect to mike tyson..good man..iron mike is an all time great..throw that uppercut in his honor
Sorry Wilder you might get left out
All Wilder needs to do is put his head down and build himself back up to be in line for the winner of Fury/Joshua.

But the way he has been talking, I dunno.:yeshrug:

I was impressed with AJ levels and him boxing and mixing up his shots.. his reliance on uppercut imo is a bit too safe for me because he fears getting countered going over the top like he did with Ruiz...but it is a great punch for him. That being said. Fury will no way take 10 uppercuts in a row, he is too smart for that.

As for Fury fight, few things. AJ is seems very tentative early rounds now until he establishes range and his jab... now Tyson is way more commanding with his jab and if he pressures judges range brilliantly. He is very physical too in the clinch and won't be as bothered as other fighters in the short range (e.g. the uppercut), he can parry and counter with a hook... i am trying to find a way AJ wins but I can't see it. Boxing is about the marriage of having a toolkit of punches/defence strategies, general decision making and athleticism, and Tyson just has so many tricks up his sleeve which I dont see joshua dealing with. If Josh makes it competitive I will be impressed...he will have to steamroll tyson potentially to get the win - early on is only way I can see him taking it

AJ v Fury more interesting than your Fury fanboys would have you think. That Wilder fight has people blinded. Wilder is a complete bum who can’t fight off the back foot.

He can’t/won’t try that style v AJ, AJ can catch him unlike Wilder.

Would still just about favour Fury but it’ll be tight.
