Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Warns Wilder: Fury Can Be Nightmare For Anyone

[Bronx2245]

its nice for someone noteworthy standing up against the hearn/joshua politics and calling them out for what they are.

It doesn't get much more noteworthy than Lennox Lewis, when you're talking about British Champions!

[Dr Rassclart]

Fury is way too slick and savvy for Wilder, even with the equaliser. I expect Fury to completely outclass Wilder and put on a boxing master class, similar to BJS vs Lemieux.

[OldTerry]

This will be an interesting fight. I am picking Wilder because of his extremely unorthodox fighting style. His style should make it difficult for Fury to tie him up and Wilder's quickness (which Klitchko didn't have) will allow him to work arount Fury's defense.

stop talking waffle lennox was the man..best of his era and carried himself with class whats not to like. clearly miles better than any current heavyweight thats for sure

i didnt compare him to the current crop and if you watch his 100's of interviews you'll know what i mean he knows the general public believes tyson in his prime would wash him up and that doesn't sit well with him.

You need to find another sport to follow. All that junk food and shti rap has fked your brain.

i was thinking tennis what do you think.

[OldTerry]

Absolutely agree! It is due to the predictability. A.J. is (straight up and down, no special effects) as Mayweather would say. What makes the Wilder vs Fury very interesting is both of them have non-typical techniques and movements.

I agree with what you say. The caveat is Wilder's punches can come from an angle that Fury doesn't anticipate and catch him solidly. Fury may hit Wilder but he won't hurt him enough to discourage Wilder's aggression.

a nightmare for anyone, yeah especially for himself

if fury signs, fights and then wins this fight this year he deserves legend status

the chances of that must be about .01

[Raggamuffin]

It is a dangerous fight for Wilder. Fury didn't look bad at all in his last fight. He just has to hold his hands up better and trim down. He still plays to his crowd, use a stiff jab, he's big and he fights inside. Dangerous fight for Wilder

Wilder's biggest advantage in the Ortiz fight was that fkn doctor who bought another 10 seconds for D-Tay just as the 8th was about to start. There was no cut for the dodgy doc to take a look at and even Malignaggi said "You cant do that!". Ortiz was cheated. No way Stilts travels to face AJ without that doc ringside.

Good choice as I like tennis coz it shares a lot of qualities with boxing. If you're a fight fan chucking mud at Lennox then tennis might be easier to appreciate. You can see Lennox as the Federer of his era - a cut above the rest.

Lennox should be heard he's spot on.Although I would prefer for T. to have a tough fight first but at least T. is prepared to give it a go unlike Hearn and his 'top' cash cow.
