Its hard to judge because nobody tries against AJ .
re: Is AJ the most exciting heavyweight since Iron Mike Tyson?
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.

Its a case of do you prefer the dodgy chinned Gastropod who engulfs people with his size and mauls his way to wins , or do you prefer the toned power punching assassin, who oozes speed and power. That is the question.

Al, "who engulfs people with his size and mauls his way to wins" could be applied to Wlad.

The comparison was meant with Mike Tyson, obviously.
Fury is better known by the public than the 2012 Olympic gold medal winner? Fury isn't half the draw Joshua is. He has never headlined a venue that holds more than a few thousand.
Joshua just headlined the 02 (15,000 punters) for a Commonwealth title fight against an opponent that most "hardcore" fans wouldn't have known and has now sold out the 02 (20,000 tickets) in mere hours for a British title fight (and is so popular with the casual fans it will be PPV).

Your propaganda and hype of for AJ holds no bounds Mr Hearn.

Yes I guess you are right , but Wlad isn't a Gastropod.

Those are facts.

Tyson faced better opposition in his first 14 fights than AJ? :D
