    Personally...

    Yes

    I think Fury is still a big factor and regardless of what anyone thought of his last fight, I think he will be the toughest test for Wilder.

    I dont think Fury is faded. He is hard to hit and I would favour Fury to win on points

    I'll be honest i don't have a clue. Fury's defence looked very porous last night and my concern is Wilder will connect with a big windmill. At his best Fury would run rings around Wilder. But right now I'm leaving towards Wilder.

    No. He has nothing to fear from Fury, who is feather fisted, whereas Ortiz was/Is a known ko artist.

    Ortiz is a better scalp at this stage, and maybe even if Fury was prime !

    I wasnt really wondering who I think would win, more the question of do you think this version of Fury is Wilders biggest test and fight?
    I think it is.
    Fury was able to evade many punches last night

    Right i think unless Fury has another fight first Wilder will win easier than his life and death struggle against Ortiz.

    To me the fight didn't really prove anything we didn't already know he went 10 Rounds he won every round I think that was pretty much expected maybe he could have got a late stoppage however as much as I've been calling for the fight between him and Wilder I kind of still feel like we should see Fury fight and beat a real top 10 opponent but the bad blood and the significance of the fight are still big enough for me to want to see it next I mean I'm kind of tired of the lineal title being held and not really defended and because Joshua and Wilder can't seem to negotiate their fight this is the next best thing

    No.

    Ortiz was better and to be perfectly honest I think Szpilka and Washington are probably both better wins than this depleted version of Fury. In fact, Imma go out on a limb and say Wilder beats Fury more easily than he beat Duhaupas.

    Fury needs at least another 2-3 fights before he's anywhere near ready to face Wilder.

    Fury will certainly be the biggest name he's an undefeated lineal champ

    The fight and its Legacy will hinge on the sheet that Fury shows up in you know what weight does he come in at and how does he look if he looks terrible and Wilder blows him out there will be a lot of questions and Asterix put next to the Win

    I think that the form will determine if this will be his toughest fight I figured the Artis fight was going to be as hard as fight going into that and fury if he can get the top form can be very tough but his style is very different from Ortiz's

    What I like about Wilder is he's very patient he knows he's got power and he uses his time figures out his opponents and Strikes you could say he's sloppy but he does finish his opponents when he has them hurt I do think that the patients could work against him because he has been out jabbed in the past by other Fighters and if he lets Fury get into a rhythm he'll Bank rounds gain confidence and maybe find the groove to keep Wilder's right hand at home so Wilder while he'll have to be patient against a good boxer like Fury needs to at least assert himself better in the first four or five rounds of this fight or he'll be in a decent hole on the scorecards and that could be a problem though I do expect him to knock out Fury and I said that a few years ago when it looked like they were going to fight the first time

    Fury didn't and doesnt look great to me, he actually doesn't look very good and he doesn't punch hard enough to put a dent in Wilder.

    Wilder will walk straight through what we saw last night and so would many other heavyweights.

    Wilder needs to land one punch in a potential 36 minutes, that's all and Fury will be on his back.. bodied.

    I don't even see this fight as competitive, Fury has just lost loads of weight, it looks drastic and impressive, like when you see those people in diet commercials, I believe some people are seeing the huge weight loss and just blindly assuming that means he is back to the old Fury.

    FFS look at him, he has loose skin because he stretched himself so much and forget the drugs but fighters normally don't drink alcohol in excess and eat themselves to obesity for a reason, it does something to your body, it really damages you.

    Yes, Wilder's punching power looked very questionable and suspect when Johan Duhaupas WALKED THROUGH Wilder's overrated 'power' punches for over 11 rounds without suffering a single knockdown or a knockout.

    And this is the same Duhaupas who was put to sleep, brutally by a LIGHT HITTING / FEATHER FISTED, 6 foot 0, fat, chubby and overweight blown up light heavyweight in Alexander Povetkin.

    How horrendous does this make Deontay Wilder's punching power look now?

    If Duhaupas can TAKE Wilder's punches for 11 rounds, then why can't fury for 12 rounds?

    No, he has little if anything on Ortiz. Ortiz’s power on the counter was a huge risk for Wilder and he almost got stopped.
