Comments Thread For: Fury: I'd Bet 1 Million With Anybody That Wilder Knocks Joshua Out Cold!

Fury's about as likely to payout on that bet as he is of giving his entire purse to the homeless.

I think I would go 60/40 for Wilder to win by KO. I'm sure Joshua will outbox him but I think he will underestimate how good Wilder is at landing his hard punches. Joshua could win if he goes 100% smart aggression mode but recent performances have been too cautious to suggest he would do that. People forget WIlder is very fast too.

Wilder already said he turned Joshua down to fight Fury for less money (when Fury had no belts and Joshua had 3) so tells you all you need to know. Wilder would be a ****** fight for AJ to take next. He needs a confidence builder first

[Boxfan83]

Chisora would've been a better opponent for AJ coming back. Now Fury is trolling him pretty hard.

AJ definitely needs a confidence booster. I favor Wilder.

I think that Deontay Wilder will not be able to knockout Anthony Joshua for a few reasons. First, Joshua has only been knocked out once in his professional career, and that was when he admittedly was dealing with health problems and lost a war of attrition against Andy Ruiz, who has always been good at taking the fight to bigger fighters. Joshua’s chin was evidenced in this fight, in that he took a severe beating and suffered a concussion, but always got back up and kept fighting, but the fight was only waved off when it became clear he was no longer cognitively coherent and couldn’t answer the referee’s instructions. Second, Joshua has fought much tougher opponents than Wilder, including Klitschko, Joseph Parker, and Carlos Takam. Third, Joshua has a much better chin than Wilder, as evidenced once again by his loss and also in how he was able to get back up after taking a Wilder-esque right hand in his fight against Klitschko the less. We must also recognize the fact that Wilder has been knocked down multiple times in his career, and did not demonstrate a good chin in his recent third fight with Tyson Fury, in which he was knocked unconscious by a relatively routine looking punch. Finally, Joshua is a much more technical boxer than anyone in the heavyweight division not from Ukraine, and I think that he will be able to avoid Wilder's big punches and win by decision.

I mean it you know your stuff but one factor id like to add is to do with ego.
in nearly every other sport the athlete can have bad runs then winning again but in boxing if they lose their ego goes. It is like been dumped by a partner you are never quite the same and some bounce back but many cant. All about confidence and ego. It doesnt help that so called fans turnon them so easy. Just my two cents in a sport where ego is everything.
some lose their mystique or fear factor. Ali never really frightened opponents like foreman or tyson did so when they lose foreman and tyson are no longer feared. Fury never instilled fear he simpled taugt them how to box. But this sport of boxing is so built on confidence that it can easily be lost despite on paper looking great and previously looking great.

BS! I consider AJ being a
better boxer with pretty much the same KO power
as Wilder, however AJ does have stamina problem so its a 50/50 fight

[Z1nho]

Fury keeps repeating the same statement over and over whenever there is a chance Joshua may fight Wilder. I think he really wants that fight with Joshua before he gets another loss as it was supposed to get him the $100M payout before Ruiz crashed the party. Fury knows no other fight will pay him that much and time is running out to cash out on those huge PPV paydays.

Sheesh man ur butt has to be hurting all that riding u doing for aj.

Sheesh man ur butt has to be hurting all that riding u doing for aj.

There are many reasons why it is rude to accuse somebody of butt-riding. For one, it is a personal attack that is not based on any facts or evidence. It is also a way of putting someone down and making them feel bad about themselves. Additionally, it is a form of bullying and can lead to further conflict and hurt feelings. Finally, it is simply not polite or respectful to make such an accusation without any proof.

[The D3vil]

I agree with the Gypsy King.

He's looking at his weak chin, endurance problems, and fragile mental state.
