And I think Wilder understands this too.. If DW fights Fury he will be embarrassed badly, which is why it probably won't happen. Can't believe people are giving DW a shot in this fight; he gets knocked late or get's outboxes very, very easily .
The fury that fought Klitschko is taller, rangier, much younger, far more mobile, harder to land on, has a superior jab, better ring IQ than Ortiz. But how much of this Fury is left? Fury eliminated the left hook and straight right against Klitschko for 12 rounds. He only has to avoid the right hand from Wilder to win an even more convincing UD. A boring Fury UD would be my bet.
Maybe Wilder considers its time to cash out and join the WWE, but he just wants to do it again Fury instead of Joshua.
True if the Dusseldorf Fury™ can return.. At this stage he is still a long way away which is why the Wilder Bois' are so keen to talking Fury up as a fight...
That 38 year old has never been outboxed to a decision.... I've said it before, and i'll say it again UD > KO when behind on the scorecards.
I also have huge questions about Wilder's stamina. His punch output is very low for a man considered the most 'athletic' in the division.
Its a sad state for boxing when people try to discredit a true ATG for the sake of criticizing another fighter. The same people who call Wlad old believe Ortiz is better. Madness. 38 year old Wlad does everything better than a 38 year old Ortiz.
Ortiz is a myth. If you actually watch the re-Wilder fight, and just focus on Ortiz he's horrifically slow..... His timing wasn't good either.
Man I'm such a sucker for hype. When this was announced I was like "yeah **** fight, Fury is done blah blah blah" As it gets closer to being made I feel myself getting excited about it. If Fury does a number on Pianeta I think the fight will happen and if it does I know I'm gonna be all up in the hype.
I think the 2015 version of Fury was a one-off, and we just won't ever see that back unless he starts taking from the naughty jar again.
Anyone thinking Fury is done has got it all wrong. The guy is 6'9"...a hundred twenty pounds is not an impossible amount to lose. I would be happier if he waited until next year to build himself back up, but he will still win every round and stop the fraud late.
If Fury is taking it serious, he has a big chance of beating Wilder. Fury is the better boxer, Wilder is the better puncher.
