Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Wilder Will Be Dangerous in Fury Trilogy, He Has A lot To Prove

[Nomadic]

Wilder don't even have to win this fight to save his career. Even in a loss, put up a valiant effort and there is still fights to be made. And Ward is right, a man with nothing to lose is a dangerous man!

Most of them who trash wilder arnt always or exactly fury fans as much as they are extreme wilder hater and it’s often for various reasons….nationalism, tribalism, his Alabama accent and country grammar, his defiance against young Edward Hearn and hence not going along with dayzin expansion in the USA, his being seen as a rival of Joshua (nationalism), or it could be the fact that they don’t like his lazy style (me), or they don’t like his failure to own his shortcomings in his loss to fury (me), although admittedly this tends to be in unison with one or more of the others when you are the absolute vitriol the man gets from a segment of fans. I really think it all started with the expansion of dayzin in the USA and how Hearn made wilder the focus of his “American takeover” PR campaign when wilder was pursuing a fight with wilder. Most legit fury fans arnt Eddie Hearn fans and it’s the hearniacs that tend to take on the hooligan role with wilder. If wilder was from Barnsley, Henly, Dundee, Bootle, they’d love him regardless of his style or ability to speak Received Pronunciation.
fury is on many p4p lists, he’s considered the best heavyweight in the world….this is on the strength of his showings against wilder. If wilder was a bum as they say of course fury would not have ascended to the top…..a lot of boxing fans are overly emotional, that’s what it boils down to…..

I agree with your statements. Someone on Wilder's team told him to bring down the rhetoric and just focus on the fight with Fury. I hope that Wilder wins because of the disrespect that Fury has shown him during the whole process of giving him his third fight. The bottom line is if Wilder loses this fight then he goes back to journeyman status. If he wins then he is back on top.

I think Wilder will be extremely dangerous and confident for the 1st 4 or 5 rds but if Fury survives that he'll break Wilder down and get a TKO somewhere between rds 7 and 10

If he needs all this advice and he’s a bum then why do fury fans claim him as their greatest victory?...

Er we don't?

Wladimir is Fury's greatest victory.

Wilder won't do anything different. He'll come out swinging for the fences, hoping to land that big right hand. We already know he can land it based upon their first fight, and Fury came dangerously close to being counted out. If Fury takes this fight lightly he can get caught and it's lights out. He needs to push Wilder and force him backwards, Wilder can't fight backwards and needs some room to get torque on his telegraphed right hand.

I hope both keep their health and I hope it will be an exciting and thrilling fight.
But I honestly think: If Wilder tries to land the „bomb“, the answer will come back within the next seconds and it will be over then.

He is always dangerous but curtains never close. He's landed his so called bombs on Fury in both fights and NO curtains. No difference here. Wilder is psychotic so he may go bananas when he realizes he still can't knock Fury out and pull a Mike Tyson bits and or a Andrew Golota low blows or maybe even something more bizarre. I expect this to happen. Only thing that would surprise me in this fight is if wilder actually wins. Which I would not put money on !

If he needs all this advice and he’s a bum then why do fury fans claim him as their greatest victory?...

Because wilder is the second best h.w (absolute trash era) and was being hyped as the biggest puncher in h.w history and being tied with ali's title defences if he woulda beat fury

[War Room]

No where does Ward literally say Wilder Will Be Dangerous in Fury Trilogy. So sick and tired of these rags fudging quotes.

[PRvazquez]

Watch his gypsy ass get knocked back to being a background character in Snatch.
