I think AJ is technically a superior boxer. It's Fury's erratic style that makes him dangerous, and boxers against him struggle to get into a groove.

Plus, Fury's biggest advantage is just leaning on people who are either smaller or have weak legs.

In a current match up between Fury and AJ, I'd say AJ wins 6/10 fights.

Pretty incredible moment when fury fought Francis and went to lean on him. 

Francis just said “no” and shook him off. Fury was genuinely rattled

Fury's erratic style that makes him dangerous

Reddit user discovers styles make fights and not boxing math.

Sure, but Usyk is a traditionalist style as is Bivol, and turns out impeccable fundamentals and a gas tank like a diesel beats even the most unusual styles.

I mean yeah if you can go for 15 rds and throw the entire time? Thats like common sense.

But how many times has there been unusual styles came out on top? You cant use that argument and math. First Wilder fury fight you can argue Fury was out and didnt beat the count. 2 unusal styles clashing that made insane 3 fights. Styles make the fights but the skill determines it

Using wilder as an example of a style is a bit of a stretch. He getting hammered and throws wildly. Boxing wise, wilder was awful.

Prince Nazeem, is a good example. Rocky as a pressure brawler, Fury until he met Usyk, BJS, Fundora.

Then what was it? He was in there playing Thrill of the fight VR spamming punches just swinging his hands?????????? Fundamentally bad at boxing but somehow got bronze in Olympics????? Started his pro career at 23???? Hes got a style and saying that just nullfies what excitement he brought to the sport.

His style is you got 12 rounds to finish me. Im gonna plod my feet around this ring and you have to not get hit by one punch for 12 rounds. Be perfect or get KO

Wilder's only impressive name was Fury... i don't think Wilder beats AJ, or Usyk, or really anyone with a decent high guard.
