[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Tris Dixon - It will never happen. It's not going to happen. It might happen. It's going to happen. It's on.

There's a three-city press tour this week, taking in London on Monday, New York on Tuesday and LA on Wednesday...

The question is does Fury have the head to with stand Deontay Wilder's power. I know AJ certainly doesn't.

It took one post to start talking about the number one in the division to increase the hype in the thread?

Yeah because hes been hurt by who? The hardest puncher that left the sport and he won that fight. So dumb.

This is a big enough fight stop mentioning AJ at every turn.

I’m a Fury fan, but you’re an idiot if you think he hasn’t been hurt just because Wlad didn’t touch him.

Ever since Fury jumped back into the picture very quickly, it has upset the expectations and the almost certainty most fans had that a Wilder- Joshua fight was imminent for 2019.

I'll make another assumption - most fans have picked Wilder to beat Fury, albeit in a close fight, partly because he is coming back too soon, partly because comebacks rarely are successful and because the prospect of Joshua v Fury doesn't have the same excitement about it.

Even if Wilder should win come December I don't see the two camps scrambling to make the fight in a hurry.

Joshua certainly holds the advantage of time and marketability, whilst if Wilder wants his legacy to be taken seriously he needs Joshua more than the other way round.

I can easily see this fight being dragged out for another 2-3 years.

Fury either has a David Haye comeback, or an Andre Ward comeback.. All 3 were coming off time out of the ring with 2 'minor' fights leaving to a big one. I personally think he'll do a ward. Face the division big puncher, it'll be an ugly win, the rematch clause will be invoked and fury will go back and win more convincingly

I can't help but think that this fight will only be interesting as a theoretical exercise in debate. Wilder's power against Fury's movement. Can Wilder's right arm take his own power without getting injured again? Can Fury regain the form that completely confused Klitschko? How does Wilder deal with being the shorter man for once? Has Fury taken this fight too soon into his comeback?
Once the 1st bell sounds the fight can only follow 1 pattern; Fury dancing around trying to land soft point-scoring shots for 12 rounds, with Wilder stalking him trying to land 1 big shot the entire time. The longer it takes Wilder to land that shot the more wild his swinging gets due to frustration.
Fury on points (assuming non-crooked judges) or Wilder by KO. You'd have to have the ability to record the fight as after 2 rounds of cat-and-mouse your brain will switch of until the point where Fury hits the canvass (if it happens), and you'll have to rewind to see what the hell just happened - or you'll wake up to the announcer trying to call the result over the boo's from the crowd.
