Comments Thread For: Wilder: We All Know Fury Didn't Beat Klitschko; He Beat Himself

As usual Wilder is daft and bewildered in his assessment. Part of what makes Fury special is his confidence of course, but another aspect is being able to vex his opponents in and out of the ring. Wilder will be caught in the headlights like a deer wondering what in the world is going on, just like he was in the buildup for the fight. His ONLY chance is a KO... and those aren't huge odds give his almost comical footwork and those ridiculous windmills. I've been wrong lots of times predicting fights, as most fans have, and will admit if he wins... but I have a feeling about this one being a full blown embarrassment of Wilder.

For whatever reason, Wladimir was off that night and couldn’t pull the trigger. And I believe it had more to do with himself and less to do with Fury. But hey, a win is a win and it set Fury up nicely for this fight a few years later. I just don’t see Fury going the distance or winning. He may go out in round 1 too. That’s why fans are great. We all have our way of seeing this fight.

Then why did Wlad never have a performance that bad in nearly 10 years? All others in that time frame were very dominant wins. It was Fury, as Wlad admitted in so many words.

We all know you didn't beat Ortiz, high blood pressure and low T did.

The fact that Wilder doesn't understand how Fury completely halted Wlad's offense with his footwork and control of range shows me just how low his understanding of the science is.

Wilder is a complete amatuer. It's not looking good for bombsquad lol I can't wait to get paid.

Both Wilder and Fury have distinctive advantages but Wilder's most underrated and ignored advantage over Fury is that Wilder doesn't know how to lose and has extreme confidence. On the other hand, Fury has to have a wealth of self doubt that no amount of talking and showboating can hide. Not self doubt due to a ring loss, but the self doubt that all addicts and self destructive people live with daily.

Tyson Fury's biggest flaw is Tyson Fury.

Yet.....he's never lost.

Wladimir was almost 40 and his reflexes were shot. Wlad from even a year earlier would have beaten Fury easily. Let's be honest.

Just asking but considering a 45 year old Ortiz had Wilder out on his feet, what to you think a 35 year old Ortiz would have done, or even a 39 year old one?

You know Ortiz isn't 45 so why even write this? Really why?

When I beat myself there's nobody around.

Ummm, I think Wladimir was 41 and inactive for 1 year and 5 months before that fight. Your turn genius...

Wiki seems to have a definitive birth date for Ortiz which made him 38 at the Wilder fight, almost 39. Why do people need to put his age in the 40s or more?
