    I could see AJ Beating Fury.not saying he will, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Fury beat Wilder, and I really don’t rate Wilder. And Whyte. I thought the Whyte that AJ beat was far more pumped and aggressive than the Whyte of last week.
    But what about Wallin? Sure he was easily the better fighter, but if Wallin had that cut , the fight would’ve been stopped regardless of who was winning the fight. I can’t believe the fight continued. 47 stitches!!

    Fury has had his poor performances and it is mainly against fighters he is expecting to beat probably down to lack of motivation.

    Against AJ it would be very different. It would be Fury biggest fight for the undisputed title against someone who he does not like. Fury will ruin AJ in the build up with mind games and take him apart in the ring. It will be a one sided slaughter. This is why I would love to see AJ beat Usyk, it is the biggest fight ever in the UK.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think AJ would be very tough for 7 or 8 rounds, and would have more success than Wilder did (consistent success, not the big shots out of no where). AJ is very skilled, is intelligent, and very strong/muscular. The areas I see being the difference are:

    1. Stamina: I see AJ running out of gas after 8 rounds and Fury putting the pressure on to break him mentally.
    2. Speed/mobility- AJ is athletic, but Fury seems to be more mobile, and a little faster of hand/feet than AJ.
    3. Mentality: Fury has a fighter’s grit and mentality, where AJ is a very talented athlete.

    It would be a great fight for the first half, but I don’t see how AJ wins this. Even the knockout scenario- if that 12th round bomb from Wilder in the first fight couldn’t do the trick, I don’t see how anything that AJ throws could.

    That would be all true but AJ is damaged and fragile now and Fury will eat him alive now.

    Fury will have driven any belief AJ had all out of him by the time the first bell rung.

    Would be painful viewing
