Comments Thread For: Fury Sees Wilder Fight Happening Before Klitschko

[Pigeons]

Great news, Wilder-Fury is the best heavyweight fight of 2015.

How does that change anything I said?

You said the fury fight wont happen cuz he thinks wlad wont take the fight. He said that hell fight Wilder cuz thats what the fans would rather see

He said both you buffoon.

why do people keep suggesting that wlad doesn't want to fight fury? i don't see any reason why wlad would fear him in particular...

Yeah every fan base of each contender believes they are being ducked because they're the ones to beat him.

None of the real fans of the sport are limited in vision like that.

Fury doesn't want to get KOed in his next fight (after Hammer) so he'll fight Wilder first and wait for Wladimir to get a bit older (and of course claim Klitschko is ducking him). But he may not get past Wilder.

Wlad signing to fight Jennings means that Fury has to wait for him. He has no other choice
It's pretty obvious, and also understandable, that Wlad is focused on unifying the titles, not on Fury. So why not just accept that instead of trying to imply that Fury is the one who is stalling?

That sounds like the shrewdest way forward for Fury wrapped up right there.

Only other way of looking at it might be to take on Wladimir first if he could get it and then should he lose his career is still very more alive than had he lost to Wilder. But of course then, he would not get another title shot without hard work, time and success in the future.

I think Wlad first would be Fury's best option, for the reason you outline here and also because, being Wlad's mandatory, he would presumably get more money for fighting him than he would get for Wilder.

Personally, I don't think Wilder's team will offer Fury a shot for enough money to tempt him away from Wlad. Forget what Shelly Finkel said. Where Wilder is concerned, Haymon calls the shots, not Finkel, and he won't want to risk his investment by taking on a voluntary defence against Fury.

Agree, Wilder wont fight anybody of Fury's caliber next.

Wilder will more than likely take a much easier 1st defense than Fury. But, as a fan, I would prefer Fury/Wilder first, then Wlad. Reason being, Fury/Wilder will have far less clinches and will be a more explosive fight. And besides that, I don't see either folding early. Just like Wilder proved he has a good chin when tested, I'm fairly certain we'll see the same thing with Fury. Fury has shown good solid defense and boxing ability in the past several fights, and the same can be said for Wilder, albeit on a lesser scale.

To me, Fury/Wilder is the best title fight that can be made in the HW division right now.

Spot on, man.

Fury is all talk.
