Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Lived Up To Expectations - And Then Some

[James Hunt]

And although Fury was a lot closer to his best than his detractors (me included) thought he could be, he still was not at 100%. He tired slightly after 8, hence how Wilder finally managed to clock him.
Hopefully this prompts Wilder to accept the offer to fight Joshua in Wembley next April. Fulfilling the mando' against Breazeale will pay peanuts in comparison, and surely the WBC can't put that off any longer for anything other than a unification? Time for the bomb squad to cash out.

You're spot on.

The purse amount is what will drive Wilder's decision. If Hearn guarantees a purse larger than what Wilder would get in a Fury rematch, then he'll fight Joshua, if not he'll fight Fury. This means that Hearn can't lowball Wilder and expect him to sign a contract. Wilder probably has only two large paydays left then he's history.

Sounds about right. I wonder if there's something wrong with Wilder medically? He's getting increasingly lighter the last few years; if he loses much more a strong wind will blow him away.

Wilders a bright guy he probably feels that the Joshua fight would pay around the same but would be a easier night. He knows that with that fight Tyson would of shook off any ring rust and be even more match fit.If Joshua and the Hearns have any sense they will stick with their seven year plan of fighting the less dangerous opposition.

Hearns desperate booking of Wembley stadium looks really ****** now .He has got no opponent for his fighter other than coming out with silly comments about bogus and retired fighters and then a rematch with a guy Joshua has already knocked out and has still a stiff fight coming up himself.

I don't think April at Wembley will happen for these two clowns on their seven year plan.

More likely Wilder can't price himself out of AJ fight. Remember, GGG (3 belts, bigger name than Wilder) got only 30% for 1st Canelo fight and no 2-way rematch.

If wilder is a bum then fury is also a bum seeing that he got knocked down twice and almost didnt make it up after the second..

This photoshop is very funny Hanz, This is a very accurate description of what is left of Tyson Fury. Deontay does not know about being beaten so brutally that witnesses actually thought you died.

I know it hurts fella, but the pain will eventually go. It must be hard to show your face after getting brutally exposed by myself and the rest of the Fury fam.

I can google you some therapy numbers if that helps?

Such a shame that wilder bum-hunted to about 40 fights and now when he fights quality opponents, he can only rely on power.. there is no reason he could not have been a good boxer, still like him though.

The heavyweight picture is not great if you talk about the depth. It's Fury, Wilder and Joshua, maybe add Miller. There's no one else that would make for a high level fight.

[Redgloveman]

horrible decision.

Wilder will fight Fury in the UK & will knock him out.
Wilder wore a different mask to the ring.
He needs that same mask he always wears.
