Who can beat Deontay Wilder?

[alexnation]

Fury already did. Hell, even ancient Ortiz was beating him until the KO. In other words, all you gotta do is move and tag him.

[Curtis Harper]

Fury and Ortiz had the right plan.....Make the fight boring. Both felt that power, though. Only Fury was able to get up. To trade with Wilder is not wise.

Ortiz tried to trade with Wilder in the 1st fight and definitely caught his attention. If you don't have that 1 punch fight stopper, best you try to win over the judges.

Ruiz would beat him the same way he beat Joshua. Swarm him and pray he doesn't land his bomb.

Who's the wrong question.

Breland-Starling, Breland-Starling 2, and Breland-Davis.

In three fights, you get a refined look at what Wilder's style could look like once he's all the way polished, but you also see the potential holes simply incumbent on the style being taught to him.


So, what can beat Wilder?
A fighter who can take his shot, a fighter who can work on the inside, a fighter who can work their way in without taking a ton of punishment, and a fighter quick enough to punch inside combinations with Wilder.

There are fighters with parts of that, but I'm not really seeing fighters pop up with that full slate.

Bryant Jennings, Oleksander Usyk, Povetkin, Michael Hunter, Anthony Joshua, etc.

It's a styles question more than anything

[Scipio2009]

Tyson fury. He will avoid the right and beat him over 12

He won't though.

Fury basically had a year to get the last of the weight off and be in camp, fought about as good of a fight as I've ever seen him fight, had a Deontay Wilder in front of him who got overwhelmed by the moment, and still almost got left for dead in the 12th round.

Wilder has seen Fury's trips/traps over 12 rounds already, and Fury can't fight all that much better than he fought that night.

We'll see though

I'm sure lions or tigers would get to him.

😀

I think of the current crop Fury still has the best chance of beating Wilder?

[pedro1098]

fury has beat him already.
fury will be better this time as more time in the ring, dw has no more than a punchers chance.
every one knows fury won last time..fury knows it, dw knows it, the fans know it.

i dont get all hype with dw last fight,,the 40yr old was easy winning the fight,knocking out a 40yr old is a bit of a lame win .

fury wins on points by simple boxing,angles, switching from south to dox,

[Dariusz]

Said many times -- anyone who is physically very strong with granite chin and great stamina. Wilder has never fought such an opponent so far. Fury is physically too weak and even he outboxed Wilder and lasted 12 rounds with him.

[hugh grant]

Fury will beat him again. Outboxing him again

[LacedUp]

Bah.
Based on last 2 fights, Wilder improved, while Fury slid.

Won't go the distance this time.

How did you figure that one out genius?
