    The problem with Tyson Fury going into the 2nd fight

    That since the 1st Wilder/Fury fight, Deontay has fought the better competition and improved.

    I don't think Fury competition since then has helped him, including one of his opponents busting him up.

    Fury is the better boxer but can he be perfect for all 12 rounds

    I've said this before. You don't improve fighting the kind of guys Fury has been fighting.

    But does it really matter? He'll either outbox him or get caught.

      Fury is the one that took damage in the Fury/Wilder fight.

      He has clearly deteriorated. when you got flatlined like that you deteriorate. this can easily be seen in his latest performances.

      Fury has softness in him. I don't see him taking this fight again.

        Yea, that's a huge consideration. Tyson has taken joke fights while Wilder just fought one of the most dangerous in the division. Adds intrigue to the next fight.

          Wilder hasn't improved, but there's 0 signs that say Fury is actually interested in boxing at all. If the rematch happens at all, I would hope that Fury's pride wins out and he'll actually try to win, but who knows? Fury's crazy.

            You don't get killed fighting those guys either.

            Fury would much rather have a bad cut than a missing head.

            The rematch is put on hold indefinitely

              Who did Fury fight before their first meeting? I don't think his recent competition matters all that much.

              His problem is that he has to avoid Wilder's right hand for 12 rounds. Got up twice last time but can he do it again?

                Fury is falling into the, talks a lot and doesn't perform group. I used to like the dude and believed his speeches but the choice of opponents always leaves me scratching my head like, who? Why? Whaaat? You want to build off that??

                Honestly, Fury probably fights to the level of his competition, so he would show up again for a Deontay fight, but his competition doesn't seem to warrant the shot again. Luckily, Deontay seems to keep his promises. He told Ortiz'd that he'd give him another shot and I thought he was nuts for that but he did. He already said it's Fury next. Why this guys keeps going back to tough opponents that most in the division would avoid is beyond me. Their styles make his style looks terrible, lol.

                  The thing is... Wilder is very easily outboxed... anyone with a pulse and a decent record can outbox Wilder... though he really did show restraint today. It is when you let your guard down and Wilder connects... will they survive that? Only Fury did...

                  Ruiz, Povetkin, Ortiz, Hunter, Joshua, Parker, Price, Pulev, Fury ALL can EASILY outbox Wilder... I just highly doubt any will get up when Wilder connects.

                  That is the intrigue I suppose... "Will they last x rounds"

                    If it was ever on. Which I doubt.
