If Wilder KO's Fury with a lucky shot does that change anything?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

He becomes the man who beat the man and we likely get Fury-Wilder 4.

I expect Fury to win the third fight though.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I still want Wilder vs Joshua. I'd take Wilder to win by KO and think Joshua is made for him. I think Fury has a lot of top prospects coming through can he can start facing, such as Hrgovic and Dubois, and still Joshua 1+2 likely, and Wilder 3. I just think Wilder vs Joshua would be explosive and probably over inside 3 rounds.

I’d pick Wilder too.

It’s a shootout though.

If wilder catches fury then it’s a win for Wilder but he will get no respect for it. It came out of a lucky shot in this circumstance and fury would still be seen as the top dog afterwards. It may show that Wilder is dangerous still but he can’t just go and only win the fight this way. It goes against human nature to root for a guy who doesn’t learn, change, or grow in how he deals with his problems. Fury wouldnt lose sleep over the fight since he knows and everyone else knows he Did good himself. Wilder would then be ****ed since he can’t go anywhere without fighting fury again which he’ll probably lose or fight AJ who would have absolute confidence anyway idk just how I see it

This... most any semi serious boxing fan knows that Wilder CANNOT box. He wins fights by getting in 1 GOOD shot over the course of 12 rounds.

If Wilder catches Fury... it will simply be that. No one will say that Wilder is a good boxer... but merely... "Wilder has 1 punch KO power."

This is why Wilder vs Fury 3 is pointless too... it will not answer any Boxing questions.

Wilder's rep has taken a beating since his loss to Fury but he has that KO power and there's always a punchers chance.

What if he's outclassed by Fury again for 10 or 11 rounds and gets the drop on Fury in the 12th.

What does that change? Is Wilder suddenly the man again?

Huh>?? Nope.

But, the match up would be 1-1-1 and there would be a 4th fight.

Huge change, obviously

[El_Mero]

Not a fan of Wilder by any means but what type of "lucky shot" are you refering to? Cause all his ko's have been pretty well timed...

[STREET CLEANER]

Wilder's only chance is to land that right. It won't be lucky because that is the only chance that he has. Don't forget that he had Fury twice down with that punch.

One thing is for sure. As one of Wilders fans told me the night before the rematch, he won't wanna be hearing any excuses..

[Tatabanya]

If Wilder knocks Fury out, no one will talk about Fury anymore and you'll see Wilder everywhere.

Just like that. He who wins is used by the establishment.

[whollisboxing]

what if Wilder knocks him out beause Fury is busy showboating and mocking him, a la Anderson Silva?

it could happen


then it'd be a lucky shot, because Wilder was lucky that Fury started to behave in ****** fashion and lost focus

There is a mental aspect to being a great fighter as well and if Fury lost in that fashion then I would't call Wilder lucky. I would say that Fury made a poor choice that Wilder was able to capitalize on. Just think, Fury did a lot of showboating in the first fight without getting knocked out so I would give Wilder credit no matter what
