    Both Wilder himself and his trainer said after the fight that it could be Fury next.

    Who wins this one?

    Both of them are kinda sloppy. Could be a fun fight

    This is the best fight in the division right now imo.

    50/50 matchup. Both rely on their size but it will be neutralized against each other. Fury is a bit more polished than Wilder but Wilder has more power. I can see both slugging it out by the mid rounds into a very exciting war.

    It's a good match up, I think this would be a fun fight. I pick Wilder by KO/TKO. Too quick and explosive.

    Great fight for HW division I was impressed with Wilder's skill/footwork an had him winning 11-1/10-2 in a near shutout.
    I might have to pick him vs Fury who isn't as mobile or quick on his feet should be a good one.

    Just looking over the stats on Fury. 6'9", 264lbs. (in his last fight) 2 inches taller than Wilder and 2 inch reach advantage. I think Wilder has the bigger power but Fury can take a punch. He is a tough guy. I think he has a decent chance at taking Wilder out. I hope Wilder takes this fight.

    What about Price? Price could be ready to go in April, maybe not Fury.

    After Wilder displayed a perfect balance of fight and flight last night, I'd be hard pressed to pick Fury in this fight.

    He'd have to be stupid to go toe to toe with Fury, but no way does Fury take the bombs that Stiverne took.

    This is a 70/30 fight in favor of Wilder.:think

    Hey, I thought Fury was a joke until I saw him get knocked down by Cunningham, get up and KO Cunningham. This would be an interesting fight.

    If Fury could take a punch he wouldn't have gone down against a feather fisted (even by cruiserweight standard) Cunningham. You're too emotional and often vote with your heart and not your head. Thats why your prediction was so off last night and you still don't have the decency to give Wilder credit for his win last night.
