Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Targets Deontay Wilder Clash For Feb. 8

[Chrismart]

I can't see this fight being made for the February date. I'd like to see it though.

Can imagine both guys being dropped..i'd take Fury to win though.

Fury is a straight up G and you clowns know it.

He's not hiding behind his '0', he's ready to fight whoever.

Let's get it on!!!! Wilder won't do it though.

[Joe Grizzley]

Fury knocks him out in 3.

What people don't realize about Wilder, is that the danger in fighting him is not the big straight right. Wilder is a very athletic BIG man, and he hits people with regular jabs, straights, little hooks etc that in accumulation are too much for anyone to take. Do you see how FAST he punches for his size??? YOu find me another 6'7 fighter with zing on his shots like Deyontay.

Yah that right is a cannon but it's not what he's all about. Wilder is a decent boxer, it just so happens that his regular boxing matched with his superior physical strength are too much for other men to handle. Wilder would beat Fury within 6 - 8 rounds. Would take his time and hit him till he couldn't stand, unless Fury bum rushed him and got caught early. Wilder can box y'all, you don't win Olympic medals and not have some decent boxing acumen, I don't care how strong you are. As he gains more exp, Wilder like him or not is going to surprise a lot of you. He's only going to get better.

You're a kid that's never been in the ring even though u clearly know more about boxing than I do

Lmfao, yeah that's your reaction to Red K... Just more hiding like a bitch behind baseless assumptions cause God forbid you actually have to argue facts you loser...

I Red K little bitches, that's just what I do

[TaurusJ27]

Fight won't happen because Wilder likes to k.o. bums he knows he can beat.

[Riley Freeman]

Wilder is gonna put that glass chin clown to sleep.

I dont think wilder is all that fast. he has power for sure but he telegraphs his punches. the better fighters should be able to block or slip most of them. he also looks confused and unsteady when his opponent is attacking. fury isnt a huge puncher but he hits much harder than anyone wilder has faced and he throws descent combinations. this would be a huge step up for wilder

Kudos, i can respect that. Take this in though. We are talking about a man who started boxing in late 2005 and by 2007 he won the National Golden Gloves and the US Championships and than won the Olympic trials in 2008 after only 20 something amateur bouts. He did not intend to be a boxer, he played football and basketball. In fact he wanted to be a wide receiver (which should tell you a lot about his athleticism).

As for the speed of his punches, find me another 6 foot 7 heavyweight fighter with as much zing on their punches as the Bronze Bomber. All big heavyweights have K.O. power, the difference in Wilder is his speed and accuracy for his SIZE. Realistically if his punches were so telegraphed, he would not have been able to stop everyone he's faced. Someone in the 30 professionals he's faced would have been able to nullify this extreme lack of skill that many of you like to jaw about.
