Comments Thread For: Roach: If Fury Can Outbox Klitschko - He Can Outbox Wilder!

[Alan Smithee]

In sports a few years can mean a lot. Fury has abused himself and been inactive. Two meaningless tuneups do not prepare you for the likes of Wilder. Bomb squad knocks out Fury!

[slimPickings]

If Wilder thinks he's just going to knock Fury out like all the 38 bums he has faced, not withstanding Ortiz and wilder does. Then you, wilder and the rest of you wilder is so powerful crowd are in for a rude awakening

Wilder has more to his game that just being powerful.

Having said that, the only way Fury beats Wilder is in his dreams.

And when he wakes up he will have to apologize.

Fury is just not good enough.

He is more of a salesman than a fighter.

I don't get it. Wlad is way more skilled than Wilder, yet the majority of people on boxingscene is picking Wilder to win? Boxing fans are some interesting characters.

I see what you mean but the circumstances have changed, as have a lot of fans opinions about Wilder's explosive power versus Fury's 'awkwardness'.

Wilder should win because of a few things. Being active, his athleticism and his Ultra powerful right hand.

Or you could say...

Fury could win because of a few things. He is a tricky heavyweight, probably the best "Boxer" in the division he has been a massive underdog and emerged victorious in the past. Plus Fury is (at least) the 2nd best fighter that Wilder has faced (considering where Fury is, in his career i.e. 2 years off, 2 poor tune-ups etc) and Wilder, despite the KO victory, against Ortiz, was really tested and almost beaten.

You can call it either way depending on where your head is. I believe Wilder will get the stoppage.

Let's get this straight Fury wrestled klitchko. They landed about 130 out of about 600 total punches between the 2 of them over 12 full rounds. That's crazy low stats.

It’s funny how Klitschko was shot against Fury but in his prime vs Joshua lol

[fernandtg]

Ex cokehead, fat shredding Fury wasn't the one who fought WK. He'll get stopped pretty easily IMO

Ali was way more skilled than Mike Tyson but that didnt stop Mike from launching Larry Holmes into orbit.

Vlad did nothing and was never really much anyway where as Wilder will hunt him with bad intentions all the way, I think Wilders will to win and power will get the job done, gee the HWs have been ordinary for soooooo long.

Common don't be ridiculous. Larry beat a retiring Ali.

Wilder has already beaten the most highly skilled technical fighter in the heavyweight division in Luis Ortiz. Ask Bryant Jennings who he thought was better between Ortiz and Wlad.

Do you ever wonder why Wlad went after Joshua to get a belt back instead of Wilder, when he sparred extensively with both? He didn't want the fight with Joshua because he was so much better and a much higher risk. Although he thought AJ was a more complete fighter as far as skills, he once said Wilder was the fastest and most powerful he has shared the ring with.

Fury will out-box Wilder until he gets KO'd. Wilder's jab and body work are the key to him winning. He'll be patient, and pick his shots, so it will be a KO later in the fight.

What makes Ortiz most technically skilled boxer in the division?

What do you classify as been technically skilled? And what does he do that others don't that gave him such rating?

Lastly, with all these so called technically skilled, why hasn't he been a champ? Ever!!

Please don't put those names in the same sentence. Hearns had crazy skills, Wilder on the other hand...

People talk about Wlad being shot, but he couldn't get the right hand off because it wasn't there for him. Fury took it away and will do the same again with Wilder.

Klit couldn't land the right hand because he was past his Prime and shot at that point, he couldn't even land a good punch on Jennings.
You need some type of skill to knock out every man you ever faced, just because Wilder is Akward and not a conventional boxer with a straightforward style doesn't mean he doesn't have any skill. That fidgety little herk and jerk movement isn't going to win Tyson the fight

[Oshio]

Let's give Fury the credit he deserves. He defeated Klitschko when no one gave him the chance to and could put up another surprise fight night. The only bad news is that this fight is coming too early for him and I don't see him escaping Wilder's bombs.... Wilder only needs to target his damaged body
