My first post here on boxing scene ,I’ve watched and read this site for years ,a lot of knowledge and opinions here but also a lot of BS from Aj fans in particular !
After years of reading I’ve decided to join and contribute for this fight and here’s my opinion as a long time boxing fan and ex amateur boxer .
My heart is telling me fury on points but my money will be going on wilder to win between 7/12 .
I would love Tyson fury to win and won’t mind losing my money on this bet if he does but if Tyson fights like he did in his last fight then i just can’t see him lasting 12 without being caught by wilder .
His power is unmatched the biggest puncher in decades anybody he hits goes down !
Wilder admittedly has no big top names on his list but you can only ko what’s infront of you and he has done that ,boxing skills don’t matter as much at this level when you’re dealing with that raw power .
As much as us brits like to back our own man history has shown that it is always hard to beat a good African American especially at heavyweight ,only the elite have done that ,calzaghe Lennox Lewis ,their wins were tainted in my opinion they beat elite Americans at the end of their careers and were pushed by Hollywood in Lewis case and fought Tyson too late in the game to be classed genuine wins ,calzaghe waited to fight in America when the others got old ,win over Hopkins wasn’t exactly decisive
The question is Tyson fury elite ?In this era yes but are we suggesting that Tyson fury is at Lennox Lewis level or peak Holyfield Tyson Ali foreman ?
I think the answer to that is no
Is wilder ?
He knocks people out and what more can you ask
One thing is for sure both of these men are number 1 and 2 both beat aj no matter what the deluded British casual fans think
