Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: I'll Slug It Out With Wilder & Knock Him Out

[Vae Victis]

"He threw approx (THREW) 80 punches over the course of a 12 round championship bout. This isn’t rumor or conjecture it’s fact. He was certainly a flat footed slow moving sloth who produced the fewest punches ever thrown in a 12 round championship bout." This is sad but true. Essentially, Fury conned Wlad into playing Patty Cake, and by the time Wlad realized what was happening, there wasn't but a round or two left of the fight. In winning that World Heavyweight Championship bout, Fury literally played with Wlad.

Fury beat Wlad easily and Wilder will fall also easily to Fury

Big lopsided oaf the bowling pin shaped creme filled Fury will stop Goofy Wilder by KO in the late rounds. FACT

Def would be nuts to slug it out with Wilder. That would be over quick. But he's also mentally unstable enough to do it. Would be a fun watch while it lasted.

If the Wlad fight is any indication as to how Fury fights against top HW’s who are close to his height/size then I doubt it. He’ll fight cautious again and stay away from that power as much as possible.

Great, a fight to decide who gets to be a place mat, holding the belt until the winner of the (actually significant) fight between (two actually world class heavyweights) Povetkin and Joshua comes to take it.

A lot of people saying this is a good, smart fight for Wilder, but I disagree. His ability to negotiate the superfight is currently based on the mystique of a fighter who has a great KO record and a world heavyweight belt... PPV would be absolutely mega because there would be an element of doubt Joshua would win.

But boxing fans know his record, have watched him box, and know his true ability. Wilder will now fight Fury, and what boxing fans alone know, the world will know. When Wilder really struggles against a defensive pugilist like Fury, fewer people are going to be interested in tuning in for another AJ arsewhooping.

I grow weary of supposed “boxing fans” calling his punches windmills. Does he throw them? Sure. HOWEVER he throws them with extreme effectiveness AFTER he has already clipped his opponent and has him hurt. THEN and ONLY then does he throw the haymakers. Fury is not faster than Wilder so it’ll be easy to land a set up shot that hurts Fury (who doesn’t have the strongest of chins) followed up with finishing blows

“Extreme effectiveness.”

He gets the fight stopped but his accuracy is woeful when he moves into windmill mode.

Fury will be the biggest man Wilder has ever seen in the ring. Fury can just outbox Wilder easily.

I wouldn’t say easily. Wilder still as basically a novice ameteur got bronze... his jab is damn good so I think this may end up a jabbing contest for the first few rounds. I think it’s a close fight but fury will most certainly get landed on and he will have to overcome that. Wilders boxing abilities are growing fight after fight.

This is a very smart move for wilder and you really gotta be high to say pedvetkin the guy who couldn’t pass a drug test to fight wilder is a world class fighter? That’s a good sign of casual boxing Fanism... or fanboyism... and what happens when wilder sleeps fury like he did with his last 39 opponents? I think aj would have to give him more like 45% for their fight then... aj ****ed up by not making the wilder fight for April even cause all of us real boxing fans know he’s fighting whyte in April... and now he won’t have the upper habd he once had in negotiations.

I agree, a lot depends on Fury's condition and how much that absence from the ring took from him. Those factors probably make it a pick 'em fight to be honest.

Fury hasn't been fighting at the top level for years.

His 2 comeback fights against walking bags doesn't mean that much. Those 2 guys can't crack sht.

We don't even know if he's ready to beat guys on a D.Whyte, Parker level.

Dude is taking selfies with his opponents, that's a circus, he's cashing out with Warren's help.

If he wasn't cashing out, then he wouldn't be fighting Wilder right next after Pianeta.

I agree on accuracy but when you have the equalizer you only need land 1 of 100

Fury is funny I'll give him that! lol
