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.
