    The only real flaw Fury has is not having a one punch ko power. He definitely has respectable power, in his past 7 fights he's stopped 6. Fury's defense, ring iq, switch-hitting and movement are unreal. As a fan of Wilder, I really wish Wilder did not take this fight. Just like the Ortiz fight where I preferred Povetkin, I was hoping Wilder would get the AJ fight. As a fan of boxing, I have nothing but respect for Wilder. This is going to be a really hard fight and don't be shocked if Fury pulls the decision off.

    The version that fought Wlad yes, the version that is fighting Wilder is an absolute CANNISTER of Mediocrity.

    I think some of the rounds themselves will be competitive, like many of the rounds in Wilder fights are, but that ultimately Wilder isnt in any real danger of losing in there.

    And I actually think this was the perfect fight at the right time, for Wilder.

    In terms of credit? No this is the worst time. Fury has the boxing skills to keep Wilder off him for 12. Now if Wilder stops him all the excuses will come out. Such a high-risk low-reward fight.

    They’re my two favorite boxers, so I’ll be sorry to see one lose.

    Right now I favor Wilder.

    I think his style is basically Fury’s worst nightmare, and I just don’t think Fury is recovered yet.

    I kind of wish it wasn’t happening yet. Fury should have taken more time. If Wilder wins, and I think he will, I won’t be able to give him full credit. Which sucks.

    Take wlad off his list and at present his record has nobody on it worth talking about. Like anyone 20 years from now will be talking about Chisora or some bloke who won prizefighter.

    Full credit, no. A **** load of credit, yes. Fury is 30 ffs, still in his prime age wise and was only inactive for 2 years. People are acting like he's been gone for 10 years and he's 45 lmao.

    Totally a neutral party here. Listen to what this man has to say, he has no stake in this fight and never supports or hypes up a fight/fighter out of proxy. ESB's most unbiased poster.

    Most unbiased poster doesn't mean I'm not a fan of any fighter lol. I never said I was never biased either. But yes, on ESB, I'm the most unbiased. I will criticize everyone, not just one side.

    I see no agenda in this thread. I mean, there's no reason to think that Fury won't be at or near 100% for this fight. Certainly didn't show any signs of decline in his past two fights and there's nothing to worry about with over 2 years out where he ballooned up in weight and had substance abuse problems. No way. Wilder deserves 100% credit if he beats this Fury where there aren't a lot of concerns and doubt over his present ability. This after all is the completely neutral approach a person would take, certainly not a person who is a big fan of Wilder. Glad that you're being 100% honest here Ellerbe. That's a quality lacking on this site.

    Clown. Where did I say Fury would be 100% or Wilder deserves 100% credit. Facts are the guy is still young and has had 2 tune ups already and absolutely clowned his opposition. Those are facts you can't refute. Keep trying to discredit Wilder, I know he threatens you.
