I'm curious to know how people believe this fight will play out, Do you think current Fury would be a good opponent for Wilder and who would you favor to win if they did meet?

Still think Fury by Decision. Wilder's style would be tailor made for Fury. -
Wilder wins by KO but will people give Wilder credit for beating this version of Fury? A Fury victory would make Wilder look bad as hell.Comment

As of the last available evidence in the ring current Fury is nowhere near the physical or mental shape required to beat any of the top guys in the division.
He doesn't have massive KO power so would have to be able to go 12 rounds against one of the fittest, fastest and most powerful guys in the division. He needs to win those rounds very convincingly as well given where the fight would take place, so he'd need a high workrate. He's not going to get that fitness and more importantly the mental toughness by clowning around against cruiserweights.
He needs to step up levels fight by fight until he's comfortably beating a top ten guy before you could reasonably favour him against the top fighters.
Fury's large frame and skill would still give Wilder problems but against current Fury I'd take Wilder by KO in 5.Comment

You have to look at strengths as well as opponents weaknesses to get an accurate or better vision . Most you guys just refuse to understand that .
Im taking Fury based on his 85 inch reach /active jab .
The jab being key bc Wilder seems dumbfounded when one comes his way so whats he going to do about that WITH the reach advantage is not his anymore ?
Fury at 80 % can still win , stylewise he can still be Wilders best opponent bc who has Wilder actually looked good against besides Arreola and Stiverne ????
One has to believe Fury ups his game in a title fight .
Fury UD .Comment

But as another poster has mentioned, is he fit enough as things stand to go the full 12 rounds? Can he effectively utilize that jab for the duration of the fight?
Personally I think the version of Fury that beat Wlad would beat Wilder by UD or potentially even stop him late. Not sure what this version will do.Comment

Um Wilder of course?
A guy who's been active and just knocked out a top 5 contender vs a guy who's been 400 lbs just a year ago and fought cruiserweight sefersi in his last fight.
Wilder is an astounding favourite in this fight.Comment

He doesn't need to be , Wilders own fights will show that through the actual opponents themselves who gave him a hard time .
Fury at 260 will be little differance than 250 .
The guys 6'9 and will be about 262 is my guess ?
I was also one of the few telling you guys Fury will come back over a year ago , you guys severely underestimate pro athletes , not only will Fury be in shape ( i know this bc i have been watching what his sparring partners say ) but you you can see photos themselves .
Take into account who actually is the more natural fighter vs a guy stiff and rigid with a two punch set up working off a gauging left probing jab could be an easy fight for Fury ? This isnt the guy you want to give rnds away too in Vegas where Judging will be not one sided for Wilder .
Fury is the favorite to win , that should tell you something more about what Wilder may not be able to do and the bookies know this as well.Last edited by juggernaut666; 08-06-2018, 05:31 AM.Comment
