    youre right,,,he hasn't been forced to dig deep. partly becuz of his huge power and also becuz of his brittle opponents. im not saying he doesn't have these qualities. we just don't know yet. I feel the advantage goes to fury if it goes past 4 rounds becuz of his more late round experience but wilder could prove me wrong. anyway I really hope this fight happens so these questions may be answered of wilder if he doesn't starch fury early which he very well may do. great potential fight here

      50-50?

      Fury is more well known in America than Wilder, let alone the UK.

      Also didn't see anything being turned down. Misleading title.

        Im sure Fury will get the lions share and rightfully so. But he has a big mouth and calls out everyone only to back out. If the fight happens though I'd bet on Wilder to stop him. I just can't get past Fury being so hurt by Cunningham.

          Fury is a hard guy to read at times..he's chased fights then turned them down when they're close..yet jumped at the chance to face easily the hardest fight in his career against Haye.
          I don't think he would run from a fight with Wilder.

          50/50 wouldn't happen, also no way this fight brings as much interest as the Haye - Fury PPV as schaefer suggetsed..not even close.

            yea,,,,,he does have a big mouth. I know he backed out with pulev. I got a little more respect for him when he signed to fight haye an then called out wilder when haye backed out,,,but he seems to possibly be backpedaling now. we'll see what happens. if he doesn't take this fight now hes really going to look like an idiot unless there's a very good reason. I also give the edge to wilder by early kayo with that big power and fury's chin but I still cringe a bit when I see deontay getting attacked. he seems unsteady on his legs and unsure what to do. his big power got him through it tho. remains to be seen if it will work against fury. as vulnerable as fury is,,,he does have descent power and throws pretty good combinations unike anyone else wilder has fought. anyway,,I hope to hell this fight happens with wilder coming out on top. I like his power and he seems like the more likeable guy

              While I think Wilder will stop him if they fought, Im not sure his team will take this fight yet because of the reason you gave that I bolded. I think Scheaffer is just fishing to see what they could potentially get, but who knows? Wilder still has plenty of time to develop and GB may not want to chance blemishing their heavyweight meal ticket before a potentially huge fight with Wlad before he retires.

                Seems like Mick is scared Fury might lose thus 50/50 isn't enough for him

                With Haye, Fury was getting 5 mil, so he cud afford to lose

                Fury duckin Wilder

                    I really like this fight, its exactly the kind of fight HW needs to generate interest in the division going forward. Wilder likes it over here as well, so it shouldnt be too difficult to make.

                      I'm with you on that one. Its not so much that Tyson has a chin problem, more a sloppiness problem. He will not be able to block Wilder's right hand with his face and get away with it. That said, if Tyson can stay disciplined he should be able to take advantage of Wilder's lack of rounds and experience and outbox him. Such an interesting fight.
