Joshua overcame a lot in this rematch and got the victory.
Fury barely beat Wallin and Wilder was being completely outboxed before landing his hail mary.
All 3 are flawed and match ups between all 3 bring different questions into their fights. It has been said here already that on their night all 3 can beat each other.
I can’t speak for anybody but myself but my point is that AJ isn’t going to outbox Fury and being that gun shy against Wilder will be a disaster. I think it’s more of a toss up with Wilder if he fights like he did before this match and hope that he can out gun him.
So that’s the big question mark. Was this a one time thing? Or will AJ forever be hesitant as a fighter? Sometimes one knockout can completely throw off a fighters whole psyche.
I saw Fury struggle against Wallin. Maybe he took him lightly, maybe Wallin is better than we thought, maybe Wilder ruined Fury. Whatever the case, I think Fury/ Joshua is pretty even on paper at this stage, but I'll need to see what happens if Wilder/ Fury 2 happens. Wilder always gets outboxed, but he has that dangerous power. Anyway we match them, the fights are intriguing to me and until they actually prove it in the ring, we don't know the actual outcome. I don't think Fury can hurt Joshua, so he may commit a bit more than he did against Ruiz. Remember, Joshua was coming of his 1st loss, a stoppage, in an immediate rematch. How many other heavyweights have regained the championship in an immediate rematch? 4 or so? Some maybe unhappy with Joshua boxing, but that's the whole point of the sport and training and having a game plan. I love brawlers as much as the next guy, but I also appreciate the sweet science of hitting and not getting hit.
I agree that sometimes one knockout can completely throw off a fighters whole psyche, but do you think Fury escaped unscathed in his fights with Wilder and Wallin?
