    Nah, I don’t think so.
    Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.

    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

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

    Would be painful viewing
