    What do you mean?

    Run in to the ring when Fury is on the floor unconscious and steal his boxing boots and mouthpiece?

    Will see. First real opponent for Wilder. If he knocks out Fury I won’t question him anymore.

    It won't prove anything as he is not fighting a 100% Fury...

    Ortiz was a very real opponent though realistically that should have been an Ortiz win.

    No no no, we are not gonna do that. I already made a thread about this, whoever wins, give the credit to the winner and don’t look for excuses.

    Ortiz is over 40 years old, and few days before the fight the doctor wanted to cancel the bout because he has serious blood pressure problems.

    But he was totally outboxed by Ortiz, and the referee saved him in the beginning of the 9th(?) round.

    i have never thought he was that good, still dont. hes not terrible, just average in his effectiveness across the board. wilder is not that good either, but he can bang, and he can do it against fellow average fighters. i think wilder will put his so called speed and footwork to the test, and if he beats wilder, i will admit that fury is better than i gave him credit. will you admit he wasnt that good if wilder blows him out under 6?

    Or maybe Wilder is just better than you thought?

    No.. because if it goes to points there is no way anyone will accept a Wilder win. He is simply not a good enough boxer to beat Fury on points.

    Fury on points> Wilder with late KO due to Fury's conditioning> Wilder winning by windmill (although anyone can get caught)> Fury by KO> Wilder on points.

    That's my order of likely outcomes.

    I don't think that highly of Wilder it's about who you fight and Fury fought Wlad Aj fought Tkin and Wlad Wilder still needs to prove he belongs Ortiz left much to be desired

    no, just fast enough to catch any mediocre fighter in the hw division. fury is going to have to touch wilder, he is not going to feint his way to a title this time, and when he does, a very fast pair of hands are going to be coming at him from angles even wilder hasnt decided on.
    if im wrong, fury will box his way out of trouble. if im right, fury will be stumbling around the ring before moving to full scale retreat.
    i like my chances in the being right dpt.
