Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Wilder-Fury Will NOT Look Like Klitschko-Fury

[Jkp]

Really?! It's exactly the opposite. Wilder and his handlers don't appear to be rushing anything. As far as I know, Hearn sent them an another-improved offer and is constantly barking how he wants to start conversations about AJ vs DW even before Dec.1, yet wilder's team refuses even to have a meeting.

Lewis is supposed to say what he's saying. He's just a sellout on PBC pay list. No wonder he's been constantly lobbying for bigger Wilder purse split than he deserves.

Lol... it's hilarious watching lame AJ fan boys like you so desperate and clutching at straws like this.

why are uk hearniacs so bitter wtf is going on with them?

It does seem that way

Joshua will never get to lewis’s Level of legend (boxing wise) simply because there’s not the same big names to beat

Fans wise Joshua is already bigger than Lewis and it grips his s**t

I feel the same way, Lewis was the real deal.

Joshua is more of a casual fanboy icon as opposed to a real boxing icon.

Bruno is more popular than Joshua will ever to as well.

Lol

Lewis has always been insecure, its a pattern of his

In recent years hes thrown subtle shade at Haye, Fury and Joshua

He loves his spot and soesnt like the idea of anyone pushing him into #2

Always been insecure? Since age four, you think? Five maybe?

Stop it, man.

I agree with Lewis, Wilder would catch up to Fury. This version of Fury doesn’t have the legs that the Wlad one had. He obviously still have the ring generalship but his brains might be quicker than his body come fight night.

If wilder was a ppv star in the states he would be granted whatever he wanted

He’s not and hasn’t even sold one ppv fight

He’s been given the path of least resistance and expects big coin for it

when they actually make him a half-decent offer, get back to me

[aboutfkntime]

Lewis is on team PBC you freak.

He does not hold an unbiased opinion.

Joshua has sent multiple contracts to Wilder. How are those the actions of a man who is 'clearly' avoiding Wilder?

Get off that nutsack.

how much did he sell his nationalism for ?

don't be ridiculous

[aboutfkntime]

Lewis couldn't be simply..... keeping it real, could he ?

oh no, we can't have that

that notion is completely foreign to most on this site

he must be biased and full-of-shlt to comment on boxingscene lol

What spot he never had that in the UK maybe some thought so but when it comes down to it he was Canadian. Bruno was a far bigger than him in the UK just like Joshua is I wonder why?

Fury's unorthodox, quirky, oft-feinting style is going to have Wilder flummoxed for the vast majority of the fight. When I equate Klitschko-Fury to Wilder-Fury, it's because Fury will be the ring general that night. He'll control where and when the fight is fought and Wilder will follow him around, reacting to feints and Fury's attack, getting clinched, and looking to land a big punch.

Wilder is a different "kettle of fish" as opposed to Klitschko, of course he is, but he's shown us in several fights that he'll allow opponents to be the ring general and he'll put his hands in his pockets for prolonged stretches until he lands the right punch. His opponents haven't been able to sustain it for 12 rounds before getting KO'd. Fury, on the other hand, is always a ring general (even against someone that Klitschko (an ATG ring general)); he'll move, feint, and has the level of defense that he has been able to defend against his opponent landing the right punch.

Wilder has great attributes that can change the course of a fight, but he's going to be clearly losing the fight if/when he ever does land a good shot. If Fury's conditioning is what it was for the Klitschko fight, this will be a more exciting version of Klitschko-Fury, but that fight was no fluke and Wilder's trainers can see the "rubix cube" awaiting him on 12/01.
