Wilder has a huge mouth but certainly no bigger mouth than Fury. As for us seeing this dance before, no we have not. The fight has not happened yet but you are giving it the ending you want as a bias Englishman. When the fight is over it's possible Wilder could have knocked Fury out. Light punching Cunningham almost did. Why don't you let the fight happen and see who wins instead of bragging about a win your man hasn't won yet.Wilder is a faster better fighter than Lacy and Fury is not as fast and skillful as Calzaghe. It's not a replay of that fight at all. Different boxers. Different fight.

No, Wilder is more proven than Lacy was. If I had to compare Lacy to a current champion it would definitely be Gervonta Davis. Undefeated big puncher with a lot of hype but has fought absolutely nobody. Lomachenko would be the Calzaghe to Davis's Lacy.

I don't remember calzaghe turning down 50 mil to fight lacy....but maybe I was passed out?

The only similarity is that they are black muscular and British. Joshua is a much more talented and more accomplished fighter.

Yes. Very over rated.

However, Fury has had a long break, drinking, getting fat, doing drugs and God knows what else so he may be a shell of his former self.

In the sense of being overrated with padded record yes..

Fighting styles and actual power no.

Lacy was heavy and slow. Wilder as uncoordinated as he is, is still fast and athletic. It's weird he's got two left feet but he's also very twitchy and explosive and fast.

And wilder probably does have the hardest straight right hand in history of boxing. His left hook is powerful as **** too..
