Comments Thread For: Fury: I Want Wilder To Fight For Vacant WBC Title, He's Second-Best Heavyweight

[Boxing2695]

Did you see lennox Lewis constantly talking up how amazing Holyfield was after beating him?

It's very strange, I think part of it is for some weird reason fury can't handle that Wilder just doesn't like him.

He didn't say he was amazing he said he's the second best guy in the division I think he's just saying that to hype the fact that he battered him so he's the Numero uno if wilders still the second best. I don't think he really cares about wilder that much it's just a thing to strengthen his own wins against him more than anything by saying he's the number 2 guy and look what I did to him. And wilder will probably get the shot at the wbc title if fury vacates and wilder comes back he's still number 1 in the Rankings

Really don’t understand why people seem to think Usyk gives a **** about the ‘war’

why wouldn't he? The guy lost 20 pounds and said he doesn't want to kill anyone. A couple people mentioned how he wasn't even holding his weapon correctly.
The man is scared and humble. He knows he can't kill and doesn't want to see the destruction caused by Russia.

Yes it is a war. There's no need for quotations you dunce.

I don't disagree here. The point is that they are the other top ranked active heavyweights, and frankly, the fact that they're so highly ranked just goes to show how weak the heavyweight division is in this era. So for Fury not to have fought any of them just further demonstrates how weak his resume is, and how little he deserves to be mentioned as an ATG or HOF fighter. My point was that he HAS to talk up Wilder because he basically hasn't fought anyone else.

I personally think the talk about Usyk being too small is rubbish. He's bigger than Mike Tyson, for instance. Anyone want to say that Tyson is too small to have any power? Muhammad Ali, maybe? Gotta have a little perspective here.

And anything you want to say about who Fury would beat is nothing but speculation, because he hasn't proven it in the ring.

The whole "Usyk is too small" thing isn't something I believe in personally considering his footwork and technique is amazing but if Fury just manhandles him then it would seem like Usyk doesn't belong.
Of course this is speculation.

As for the resume. You said it yourself they're pretty bad. Fury fighting them adds nothing to his resume. Everyone agrees Fury would probably demolish those fighters.
People thought Whyte had a shot and look what happened. Fury has no reason to stick around after Usyk/AJ if he does wait for unification.
Like you said it's speculation that Fury would beat them but it's speculation based on evidence. There's nothing these other boxers offer that makes them a viable or notable opponent besides being highly ranked and because of that he would just be padding his record instead of actually gaining legacy.

Wilder is still very dangerous and he knocks out the most of other guys.

Well he needs to hurry up and do it then.

Of course Fury would call Wilder the second best HW. It makes him look a lot better. And you've got a forum like this dominated by americans eating it all up.

Usyk is clearly the best HW in terms of pure skill and is easily #2 right now. Joshua and Wilder need to fight to determine who is #3. It actually wouldn't surprise me if Joyce fights and beats Joshua or Wilder. He's as stiff as a corpse but he's a terminator and seems to have an unbreakable chin and insane stamina. Joshua and Wilder are mentally weak and he could beat them into submission. Unless you are skilled like Usyk or Fury 12 rounds with Joyce would be absolute hell.

You're entitled to Your Opinion my friend
But to say
AJ's resume is mostly made up of "overhyped Bums"
as compared to Tyson Fury's Resume?
Bruh have you seen the names of the guys Tyson beat?
AJ resume is much better than Tyson Fury
Fury fighting Wilder is the only difference

Even now these loons never tire

Nah go on man tell me about all the MMA gyms you've taken boxcercise classes at. Come on its funny.

Maybe you should try a boxercise class. May help you in being a little less clueless.

I want Wilder to fight the other top heavyweights. It's the only way to find out if he's as great as some think.

Wilder is still very dangerous and he knocks out the most of other guys.

There are not any guys like Tyson Fury around.

Usyk hasnt beaten an elite heavyweight ,he is new to the division. Joshua is very avg fighter

[Jc8804]

It should be wilder vs ruiz in LA for the vacant in the fall.

usyk and joshua will likely result in a usyk win and then ruiz/wilder winner can face usyk in the spring or feb .

but wilder joshua has to happen at some point ,maybe in new york in fall 2023
