Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury: Who wins?

[Money Shot]

The hype behind Fury is baseless and blind. Wilder has serious issues but he's far stronger, has a better chin, and is faster. Fury literally has no advantages in this one. People look at his record without having watched his fights and think Tyson must be great. He's narrowly escaped defeat countless times, often with help from the ref. Tyson Fury is a fun personality and always comes to fight but that doesn't mean we need to pretend he's a great boxer. Just love him for what he is.

I'm not buying the bits in bold. Wilder has been knocked down and rocked by fringe men and bums and blown out in the ams, his chin is china. As for stronger, not buying that either. Fury is a lot heavier and probably lifts more. I'm struggling to think of the fights Fury almost lost or should have lost, maybe McDermot 1 was contentious but he beat him easily in a return. And just going on Fury's last two displays, Hammer and Chisora, compared to Wilder vs Molina and Duhapaus. I think Fury is the better guy.

Fury knocks Wilder out. People should stop using Stiverne as a measure of Wilder's skills. The Stiverne that Wilder fought was not even half the fighter he usually is. The guy was a zombie that night. I doubt that we will ever see a Fury - Wilder fight in any case because I don't think Wilder survives Povetkin. And after that, his stock will drop considerably and I do not see any top fighter giving him a shot. Haymon will keep feeding him cans to keep him going until he introduces his own titles, one of which is surely reserved for Wilder.

Wilder by KO within 3 rounds

Fury couldn't take cunninghams power, wilder stops him

There's no question that Fury has the better resume, his wins over Chisora, Johnson, Cunningham and Hammer are all better than anything Wilder’s done, except for Stiverne. I rate Stiverne on the same level as a prime Chisora. On paper, Fury beats Wilder, but fights aren't won on paper, and Wilder shows a lot of potential everytime he fights. This is a toss-up for me, I believe Wilder has what it takes to rise to the occasion and make it very competitive.

He was exactly the fighter he really is. You can see this clearly in past performance against movers.

I voted Fury, But it a 50/50 fight. Fury is better then Stiverne and has some swag in his style. Wilder has more raw power and faster hands. Personally I think hes better then Micheal Grant, But wont be able to get past Povetkin whos has been on a roll since his fight with Wlad.

[just the facts]

I can't believe how close the voting is on this fight. How can anyone pick Wilder over Fury? Skills are planets apart!

Maybe just maybe boxing fans realize Wilder has big punch and saw Fury put hard on his azz vs a light hitting cruiser weight

[just the facts]

Wilder's chinny

And Fury even more so

[boliodogs]

And yet you trust Fury's chin ? Craziness. If Wilder touched Fury's jaw the dude would NEVER wake up.

Fury was down from a Cunningham punch so certainly he is in danger of getting KOed by the hard punching Wilder. I just give Fury the edge to win but Wilder could win it.
