Just watched Wilder/Firtha, then Fury/Firtha. And I think, crazy as it sounds, Fury would benefit by adding a bit of what Firtha did vs Wilder. But looking at both fights, Fury got Firtha on short notice in his 16th fight, a less shopworn Firtha, and after a rocky 3rd still stopped him and beat him up alot worse than Wilder did... and Wilder got Firtha on his 30th fight and was also rocked a few times. I see this at least a 50/50 fight. Maybe even a slight edge to Fury for all the rounds he's went since early on. And he seems to have a more varied attack than Wilder, and his jab is at least as good.
This would be a great fight, but judging by how slowly Wilder was brought along to this point, I don't have alotta faith it will come off. Certainly would be a great one though. This and Provo/Matthysse this year would really put a shot in the arm of the sport.
