Its hard to judge because nobody tries against AJ .

I think AJ has been better managed and packaged.

Fury has been on channel 5 is better known by the public which was a good move.

I hope Fury does better in his career.

It would be fairer to compare him to Hughie and what is impressive is the support hes got for doing very little and beating very little in the way of threats.

Hughies last two opponents were both very (proven) tough and punchers.

Joshuas next fight will answer a few questions and may derail him for a bit.

In fact when you compare theorr records tey are suprisngly similar. Tyson faced better opp earlier as with McDermott but on his 14th fight he faced Nascimento who was unbeaten and was then in his 15th fight facing Chisora. So not much in it.

Sorry, I haven't had wi-fi much today. I genuinely thought you were comparing AJ with Mike Tyson! Hence the short, sharp reply.If it's with Tyson Fury, AJ has been a million times more impressive. Infact, I would tip AJ after 14 fights to beat Fury now, whereas I wouldn't tip Tyson Fury of 14 fights to beat Tyson Fury of now (if you get my drift.)

I'm assuming you are asking regarding Mike. Anthony's comp over his first 14 is much better then Tysons. Mike however had beaten all 14 in about 8 months. Tyson never got the coverage Anthony gets over the same 14 but once he got rolling the timing was perfect. He got in on the technology explosion.

Who the fuck is AJ?

Dunno though, wouldn't put it past him!
so now it is a comparison between AJ and Mike Tyson? while AJ is doing great so far, Mike Tyson was actually making grown men Shit their pants at the thought of going in the ring with him, and let's not forget , that was when he was a teenager, while AJ is in his mid twenties.
in my opinion, Mike Tyson's rise to becoming World Champion was the most spine tinglingly exciting thing I've ever seen in the HW division. admittedly , it all went a bit Pear shaped in the end, but his rise through the ranks was awesome.
Everything about it, the fact that he was so young yet so scary looking, always in Black shorts with no socks and no robe, his ugliness and mean look , yet when he opened his mouth , it sounded like a 12 year old, and he was taking over the Planet! PRICELESS!

Can we see him in the ring with somebody who fights back please and get hit on the chin by somebody who can punch please before we get too excited by him. He's great at sparking roadsweepers but there are at least two or three half decent heavies out there he'll have to beat.

One thing I will give you Eric, is that some people look at Bruno as a joke figure, and others think it's a bit insulting saying AJ is like Bruno, But as far as I'm concerned, Bruno had a fine career, became World Champion, and took it to a prime Mike Tyson and a Prime Lennox Lewis!
none of today's British crop have got anywhere near achieving what he did, and because I believe Lennox is Canadian, I would have Bruno as Britain's greatest ever HW , above Bugner and Henry Cooper!
