I think Fury is the better boxer but for a long time I e had the feeling that AJ wins by KO. No idea why other than gut feeling.
Truth be told though they’re both unremarkable fighters who’d get swallowed up and forgotten in any other era.

I guess you can only bet whats infront of you but there is an argument to say neither of them have fought anyone at the top level yet. Both have fought Klitchko but he was well past his best and Wilder never will be a top class boxer. Nobody else in the division comes close to being top class. Problem with the fights like is they always take too long to come to fruition, this fight should have happened ages ago. Now the joy of a god awful few months of made up 'banter' before the fight, I'd love it if they announced the fight and got on with it the week after.

The era just gone consisted of Wladimir Klitschko and his brother beating bin man after bin man after bin man for the best part of a decade. Such a dark-age, dreary era of Heavyweight boxing actually makes you appreciate the likes of Dillian Whyte, Andy Ruiz etc of today. Not elite by any stretch of the imagination but they fight at a relatively high level and collectively combine to make for a division actually worth watching. Joshua and Fury might not go down as all time greats, but they are still world level fighters and imo it’s going to take another Klitschko type era of Heavyweight boxing to appreciate how good the pair are.
All that aside, I think Fury will win on points

I wasn’t commenting on the Klitschko’s in particular but rather the era they fought in. Once the 90’s were over Heavyweight boxing was on its arse. Fury, Joshua or any of the other top 10-15 contenders today would plummet through the majority of fighters during the ‘Klitscho era’, if not necessarily the Klitscho’s themselves. Both operate at a good level and imo deserve their props as fighters.

As bad as that era might have been my point is that the best from then would beat the best from now signalling, for me, a further low. AJ is stiff as a corpse and chews through more roids than a Scottish bouncer and Fury is hugely overrated as a technician, only standing out due to lack of competition.

I'd love TF to knock AJ out but sadly it will end as points decision in TF favor. TF will out box him and use his weight to tire AJ out.

Joshua by knockout, it's amazing how many people have turned against him since the BLM nonsense. Joshua can bang like the best of them and Fury has been on the floor by cruisers. Fury has developed from a one trick pony fighter into a clever boxer and clearly has a lot of heart but lacks a good defence. At 6 ft 9 he doesn't think he needs one but he will be in Joshuas range.
Either way it will be an intriguing match up which will finally happen and hopefully live up to its expectations

We were spoiled when we were younger. The heavyweight days of Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis the young Klitscho brothers etc and the ‘baddies’ like a Bowe, Briggs and Golata were as good as the Foreman/Ali days and maybe had better depth. Even someone like the vicious leftie Micheal Moorer or a massive power puncher like Ruddock would clean up today. A total bum shithouse like Wilder would get beaten like a red-headed step child by every single one of the above and wouldn’t get near a belt in almost any other era.
Heavyweight boxing was fucking superb back then.

Arguably the hardest bastard that ever set foot in a boxing ring. To think he was a natural cruiser weight taking heavyweight shots too. Hardest hitter in that list though has to be Ruddock. Shades it over Tyson for me.
