    Dibella is the guy who won't sit still and not get off his phone while getting a hair cut ,then walk out while insinuating the guys not doing good job while he was the one making it difficult !How do i know this? Because i was there and that was before Dibella was Dibella ! In short hes a jerk ...a rich jerk!

      He's a titleholder. He's the champion of the WBC. Dibella was referring to a fight with the Heavyweight World Champion Fury, so Wilder is a contender. Not a very strong one either, which was my point. A win over Pulev, or Povetkin if he wants to the payday, would make this fight very interesting, but more importantly genuinely significant to the division. As it stands, you'd expect Fury to win

        It still boggles me that people rate Fury so highly. I just can't see what other people see. Yes, he beat Vlad, but it was one of the worst fights ever and I fully expect Vlad to blast him away this time, there is no possible way that Vlad can be that bad again.

          That has nothing to do with the TERM"contender ' Ihave Pulev at # 6, which would be great fight,which Wilder is not going to take !

            If Wilder can keep winning it'll be pretty huge. While I think Fury still has a risk with a Klitschko who maybe has seen the error of his ways in about 5 weeks, I think Wilder's fairly primitive & basic style is at greater risk in quite a many fights that he takes. I legit wouldn't be surprised if Arreola KO'd him (assuming they fight, I know his name has been mentioned). Granted I wouldn't bet on it or pick Arreola cuz he has been looking like dog**** lately, but I think its 100% possible & I think there are a bunch of guys who could end up surprising Wilder.

            I feel like if we could fast forward 5 or 6 years & Boxrec Wilder to see his record in 2021 or 2022 he'd have a L or three to completely random guys not just the Fury caliber guys. He just doesn't seem like a guy who's style gets him past all the random guys like most higher level guys in boxing.

              People don't understand the level of ring strategist Fury is or respect his boxing IQ I don't think. He looks like this, he talks like that, obviously he can't take this seriously. But he does. He's one of these types of cats who's obsessed with boxing. Go watch some of the videos where he talks about his competition. He knows everyone & what they can or can't do.

              He is his own worst enemy doe. He gets unfocused if he doesn't see the danger/threat in an opponent like arguably vs Cunningham. He gets fat after he does something big like become the HW champion. If Fury loses to Klitschko it'll be more about Fury failing then Klitschko succeeding.

                  Wilder's chin and high risk style mean that almost anyone could conceivably beat him if they land right. I'm skeptical he has the ring IQ and experience to ride out a heavy knockdown the way Fury can, or to dominate a guy without exposing himself to a fight ending countershot. I don't like to call any fighter lucky, but Wilder's "lucky" in the sense that he hasn't had to pay for any of his sloppy mistakes thus far. He always gives himself the best chance of success with his approach and conditioning, so it's not like he's just fluking all his victories, but he really doesn't make things as easy as a fighter at his level of the game should to some of his lesser opponents. His power has bailed him out on more than one occasion.

                    I don't think I've ever accused Wilder of being scared. I actually think he is an admirable guy who fights because of his daughter, he isn't scared. Just saying, he had a fight fallout and didn't get the shine he could have gotten. It will generate big money, but now Joshua is in a position to generate more for Fury...and would also be a unification.

                    A Povetkin win have put some pressure on Fury to fight Wilder instead of Joshua imo. Now Fury will be able to get away with saying hey I have this other unification with Joshua that makes me more money...both of them have about the same resume, 1 good win. Maybe 2 since Joshua is in better position to fight someone like Haye than Wilder.

                    Anyway, he is someone who likes to keep an active schedule, so I'm sure he is agitated about a wasted training camp...I assume he will want to get in a fight to get that out of his system and maybe get back to that and let things develop for a minute. Maybe Joshua opts to fight Haye instead of Fury, and then Wilder fight becomes the nextbest thing for Fury. He fights for money. I'm not asking anyone to wait, just looking at the landscape
                    Fair enough.

                      By that standard any boxer can get beat if the opponent lands "right"...
