Comments Thread For: The Boxing World Should Take Tyson Fury Seriously

[OldTerry]

Fury hasn't looked good in years, I'd really fancy the Fury that beat Vlad to win this but the Fury vs Pianeta wasn't him.

I had more faith in the David Haye come back just because he'd knock out his easy touches which covered up the damage.

I really, really, really want to be wrong, I watched all Furys pre Klitschko fights but I'm not signing up to this. Its like watching your favourite race horse in the biggest race but you know it was hobbled before hand.

While it lasts Fury will make Wilder look really bad but then he'll get clipped and the Wilder fans will forget all those rounds he lost. Lets be honest even if he survived the fight the cards were probably filled out weeks ago.

About the cards being filled out weeks ago - what do you expect, after all it is boxing.

That's why I lean on Wilder. Wlad got confused, bamboozled, then basically just gave up. Wilder is used to being down in the cards and knowing he's just one punch away, so IMO he won't have the same attitude as Klit.


Also, Wilder has a great jab that he rarely utilizes, and barely got used at all in his last fight due to the southpaw factor, but he won the WBC championship on using that jab for 12 rounds

I agree and I think Wilder has a world class jab. People seem to forget he was a bronze medalists in the Olympics.

Wilder is unpredictable but that doesn’t mean he’s difficult to beat. Take away his right hand and he’s got nothing. And he can only throw that right hand from distance, when he’s controlling the pace.

Get him on the back foot, walk him down and he’s fecked.

Sooo funny when he said he’d have beaten a prime Mike Tyson. Tyson is literally the worst opponent he could pick and would have stopped him within a round.

Lotta Fury haters out there, which explains a lot of the back-and-forth we see on blogs. Which is fine. Everyone sees fighters a little bit differently, which makes boxing fandom interesting. I'm fairly certain Vegas odds will be such that Wilder wins by KO, and that would be the likely scenario, but snoozing on Fury would be a fool's game. I just think he will perplex Wilder and his limited boxing ability. Let's face it... Wilder without power would be long since at gatekeeper status and nothing more.

This is a much more intriguing matchup than the average Fury hater thinks it will be. Sure the odds are in Wilder's favor. But I've seen enough slick moves from Fury in his past dozen fights to always take him seriously. Thinking his 2 1/2 year meltdown spelled his doom is something I just feel is purely foolish.

Not writing Fury off, I think he'll probably be up on the cards by the time Wilder gets to him (our cards at least). The official ones prob written already
