Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs), the former WBO, IBF, WBA, IBO world champion, believes WBC king Deontay Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs) has really improved over the years.
After Fury shocked Wladimir Klitschko for the world titles with an upset decision in November 2015, he seemed to be heading to unification with Wilder after a face to face confrontation last January at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
That possibility fell apart after Fury vacated his three remaining belts to focus on his mental health issues over a year ago.
Now the biggest fight in the division is a showdown between Wilder and WBA, IBO, IBF champion Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) of the UK.
Based on watching both boxers fight, Fury views Wilder as the more talented boxer and believes he would knock Joshua out if a unification came together.
Fury views Joshua as being an overhyped fighter who is too muscular and not mobile enough in the ring. Also, Fury has made it no secret that he believes Joshua has a questionable chin - a claim that is also being pushed by WBO champion Joseph Parker and his handlers.
"He [Wilder] has improved a lot, a hell of a lot," Fury told the White Rhino Fightcast Podcast. "I do think he's an awesome puncher and he's a good boxer, and he's awkward."
"Very awkward kind of character and I think he'll do a lot of damage to a lot of people. I think Wilder will knock him out.
"Purely and simply because Wilder can move and punch on the move, and Joshua stands still and takes big shots on the gloves."
Wilder was in action earlier this month, when he blew away WBC mandatory challenger Bermane Stiverne in the first round of their rematch at Barclays Center. Joshua saw action last month, when he stopped IBF mandatory challenger Carlos Takam before a crowd of 78,000 fans at Principality in Cardiff, Wales.
