    All the guys you listed aren't on Fury's level, and they all gave away a size advantage to wilder. On top of ortiz being old.

    This is going to be a sobering experience for wilder and his bandwagon.
    Head says Fury, heart says Wilder.

      Hey it's boxing, anything can happen.

      But like Dan_Cov said, the boxer beats the puncher 9 times out of ten and the skill differential between these two is humongous.

      If wilder somehow wins that's a small miracle.

        Bermane Stiverne is not, nor has ever been a skilled fighter

        Luis Ortiz has ok skills, he has decent shot selection and a southpaw stance but he's not exactly Ali

        Fury has good defensive skills but middling offensive skills

        I think the term "skill" gets bandied about a bit too much, I wouldn't say anyone i've just mentioned has exceptional skills.

        Wladamir Klitschko (prime) was a truly skilled fighter, as was Lennox Lewis

        all those guys mentioned are puddings compared to them.

          The boxer beats the puncher 9\10.
          Then why is it in 300 years of boxing history we don't have a single undefeated HW champ who we can call a boxer?
