Why didn’t Wilder go toe to toe Fury?

    After the 2nd round, Wilder was hurt and surviving. If he was running, he would have lasted the 12 rounds and Fury win on points. Joshua was running from the word 'go'.

    Ah...so now apart from 'toe to toe', you don't even know the meaning of the word 'excuse'. Where is the excuse in what I said? I said Wilder was outboxed...is that the excuse? I said Fury is more skilled...is that the excuse?

    I have criticized Wilder for his lack of skills on many occasions. Looks like your hatred takes the better of you to even know who you're responding to. I appreciate and criticize boxers for the good and the bad equally. Not just a fanboy who sees everything from one eye.

    So, yes...Joshua ran in that fight. Was it a good thing to do? Hell, yeah! It got him all the belts back. However, it also takes away his boogieman status from the hearts of other heavyweights out there.

    And, yes...Wilder hits damn hard. It is why he has so many KOs and it is why he won most fights. A lot of people weren't about to rough him up simply because they were too scared of that right hand. So, hell yeah that is a good weapon. But, Wilder did not develop much in other depts. And he has a lot less ring IQ than he claims.

    I say it as I see it. You can like it or go crazy about it.

      That's where Wilder's extremely long limbs work against him. He has no idea how to fight like that. The only guy of that body type I've seen who could go toe to toe well was Rid**** Bowe, he knew how to shorten his punches and could trade at close range. Very difficult when you have such long arms.
