If Fury and Joshua fight after they both beat Wlad, who has more difficulty with the other persons style?

Who cares when they could actually fight now! Unfortunately it seems fury would rather run off to retirement, than fight the big, stiff bodybuilder

i'd have picked joshua at any point between then and about a year ago. i think stylistically he's all wrong for fury.

it's difficult to gauge where he is now though, post dubois KO.

Why?

because fury has been dropped several times by wilder, who has bollocks technique. fury easily dealt with his wild swings, but the few times wilder managed to actually throw something clean and connect, he dropped tyson.

joshua's power isn't quite as insane as wilder's, but it isn't that far behind. he has more than enough to drop anyone when he lands cleanly, and he's ten times the technical boxer wilder could ever be.

i think he'd land powerful shots and put fury away.

And Joshua destroyed everyone of furys opponents except Usyk
 
Joshua has become way too easy to hit lately, and maybe he always was, he has been caught plenty of times

I think Fury just times him coming in, Fury back then though didnt really throw his hands a lot, and he may have been overwhelmed, i think a later version of Fury has a much better chance

Also...LOL at him still wanting to fight Fury, he wants to cash out, i dont think he really has any other options for a big money fight at this point

Yeah, Fury is better than Joshua at this point.

Not much to prove beating someone that lost to Usyk twice (badly) and had a horrible performance vs a stiff

They both lost to Usyk twice and clean. Anyhow, the point is that Fury & Joshua should've already fought over the years. It's ridiculous that they still haven't.

Joshua ducked a lot.. same against Wilder

He had already signed to fight Fury for undisputed years back. Fury was contractually obligated to fight Wilder for a third time. A judge decided that so it was null & void. Later they tried to fight Fury again only to get the runaround and bullshit deadlines that ruined what were otherwise healthy negotiations. The same type of shenanigans Fury pulled with Usyk initially until the Saudis offered him so much money that he finally accepted.

Probably did himself a big disservice not taking the fight sooner. It was a good year or two later they actually fought

That's completely on Fury. He was sent offers to fight Usyk as early as late 2021 (after Usyk beat AJ the first time). Fury never wanted that fight if it weren't for the money being so good. Even when Usyk was willing to accept a dogshit 30% purse split Fury still dragged his feet and played his usual games which ruined negotiations.

I remember the Usyk team turning down at least one offer, too

No they didn't. They accepted probably the worst offer ever made in heavyweight championship history which gave Fury 70% of the purse and gave him hometown advantage. They were to fight at Wembley. This is the same Fury that ducked David Price by vacating his British & Commonwealth titles to avoid fighting him. Price had previously beaten him in the amateurs.
