Comments Thread For: Fury, Wilder Verbally Battle After Crushing KO Of Szpilka

[Daddy T]

Wilder has a puncher's chance against Fury. No more than that.

[doom_specialist]

I knew you would try and prop up Chisora. He's just a thug. Nothing special about him at all. And has Cunningham ever won a fight at heavyweight. If he has I've never seen it.

And this is where I could pick apart every other active heavyweight fighter's resume (save for Klitschko) and discredit all of their wins, but doing so does nothing but assert that no heavyweight fighter is good, except for the ones I'm fanboying.

I'm not saying Fury is the best thing since Ali, but he's a champion trying to fight the best guys around him, and he holds wins over guys who are considered by objective boxing fans to be quality opponents. Since beating Wlad he's been vocal about facing Wilder, and bringing all of the belts together. There's simply no reason to be negative about a champion who's calling out other champions. Even if he proves to not be as good as people think he is, at least he's not dodging anyone, and is even willing to come to America to get the fight made. We need more champions with that type of behavior.

Klitschko-Fury II and Wilder-Povetkin, with the winners of those 2 bouts facing off would be a tremendous year for boxing, and Fury is looking to be a big part of that. Can't knock the guy for being a part of the reason that boxing has a little more visibility concerning the heavyweights. He does play a good (if rather annoying) villain.

Fury schools him, Wilder is a C class fighter.

Fury really wants this fight. But i dont believe wilder wants it at all. It doesn't really matter i suppose as after wilder has been dragged kicking and screaming into a mandatory with povetkin (FINALLY) he will no longer have his belt.

Fury is a natural boxer.

Wilder is a natural athlete.

I seriously believe it they fight Fury schools Wilder for 12 rounds.

And I am not a huge Fury fan btw.

If Fury just sat quietly nothing would be said of note

Fury had to create some excitement after coming across the pond to NY. Fury had to let the fans and the audience watching on TV that Fury was there in person and ready to rumble. Fury did his job well and let America know the true heavyweight champ was there and challenged Wilder. Boxing is a hype game and needs fans to get excited to make a huge payday. Wilder gets no one excited in America. Fury vs Wilder in the UK would be huge. Most of America would root for Wilder.

Tyson Fury should move to the USA to become a Star

Tyson Fury is great for Boxing and could become Boxing’s biggest star if done correctly and managed well. Bearcat’s advice is for Fury to move to the USA and become a Mega Star with the Americans backing the loud mouthed talented colorful obnoxious but well represented comical Tyson Fury. The UK is not capable of creating a super star or a mega star in anything as the UK is just to fricking dull and boring as a country and as a people.

god this fight has to happen the build up would be world wide it would truly get boxing back this is the real fight not canelo ggg

I think Canelo/GGG outsells this fight most likely, but yeah it will be nice to see real hype around a heavyweight fight.

Fury doesn't bother me. The hate for Wilder drives me insane

If it happens it will be 2018 at the earliest. Most likely later. We are in the age of marination.
