The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

AJ was only at about 70% tonight and still outclassed a world class boxer with one defeat previously to his name. I think he'll beat Fury who is massively overrated and the majority of British boxing fans will be hoping he does so.

Part time boxing fans want Joshua, proper boxing fans want Fury to win.

Joshua is a fake. Media trained puppet for Matchroom and Eddie Hearn. I hope he gets schooled by a far superior boxer.

What's Wilder got to do with anything? He's been dodging Joshua for years now - he only took on Fury because he (or rather his team and his agent) thought it would be easier than facing Joshua (that didn't go well). Now Wider (and America) are just clinging on to a belief that no-one else can possibly have better heavyweights than America ............. dream on!
Joshua against Wilder (if Wilder ever comes to the table) only goes one way. Joshua against Fury though - that really would be the fight to decide who is the best heavyweight on the planet. Suck it up, yanks!
Has Joshua got the chin to withstand a full blooded shot from Wilder? Not sure.

People with any moral fibre want AJ to win. A class act in and out of the ring. The less said about Fury the better.

As always in heavyweight boxing there is a 'puncher's chance'. Pulev had one tonight. Wilder had one in the first fight against Fury.


Always there; usually doesn't happen, especially not against class - and probably even less against class that has been caught once and learned from it.

Fury vs Joshua will be great.

Can AJ beat him? Yes. I think AJ is the only fighter who might be able to dethrone the king.

Will he? I dont know.

We will see soon, hopefully.

The King?? AJ is the king, he holds all the aces and all the belts, when they fight it will be on his terms.

It should be a 50/50 split for the undisputed heavyweight fights.

Tyson holds the one belt Joshua needs.

Why so touchy?

Dethrone the king... you know, The Gypsy King. Blimey.

What a load of nonsense, Joshua has a massive following of hard core boxing fans, probably more than Fury does.

Fury beat Klitschko whilst barely dropping a round against a fighter who up to then had barely lost one.

He then returned after a lengthy lay off and outboxed Wilder and in the rematch dismantled him.

Joshua went life and death against Klitschko then lost to an unheralded Mexican.

You look at the form and there is only one winner. But not just that you look at their abilities and styles and Joshua is at least a 10/1 shot in my opinion.

It would need to be a Rahman vs Lewis scenario for him to win.

I genuinely believe it could be quite embarrassing for Joshua, such is his limitations against a genuinely top class boxer.

A good finish by Joshua against a decent opponent .Still think Fury would win a quite boring fight against the him by boxing and staying out of trouble.

A load of London youths who believe his media trained hype and bluster.

He wants to be the black Beckham and has been polished by Matchroom’s media team to say the right things.

I might not always agree with Fury but the guy is real and authentic. I’ll take that any day of the week.

Joshua stands a decent chance of beating the Fury of the first Wilder fight.

But, the Fury of the Wilder rematch and the Klitschko fight schools AJ.

Have you been to a Joshua fight? Ive been to quite a few, always a sell out, loads of genuine boxing fans.

Ive also been to watch fury live including once at the O2 when I managed to bag a freebie because they couldn't sell the tickets.

That was then, this is now. I think people have woken up to how good Fury is whilst getting a bit wiser to the Joshua corporate band wagon.

“Dedication and sacrifice” whilst I sip my bottle of Gatorade wearing Under Armour.

He’s trying to dine out on recapturing the Heavyweight title against a bloke who made Jockey Wilson look like an athlete in their last fight.

Dedication and sacrifice.

Have you tried boxing as a full time career?
