    I wont give Wilder full credit for beating this version of Fury.

    That's my opinion.

    Wilder will get full credit for beating this version of Fury... which isn’t the best version of Fury.

    You can get full credit, whilst also acknowledging that you didn’t fight them at their best. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

    It's hard to say Fury is exactly as good as he was in his prime, but he looked pretty damn good in his last fight in terms of athletic ability, and he has definitely worked his ass off in this fight with the most positive mindset we've ever seen. Full credit to Wilder if he pulls it off, and vice versa.

    The same posters who are already making excuses seem to be the same ones that have made excuses before, I see a pattern here.

    My personal take on this fight is that it's going to be an ugly one and Fury will more than likely come out the victor.
    If Wilder gets the win, he deserves full props and becomes the top guy at HW.

    Either way, no excuses from me.

    Nope I might as well not be. My nationality plays no part in my the result, if you feel like GGG won no problem but it certainly weren’t no robbery and you have to get over it at some point.

    Fury is in the best possible shape, mentally and physically. Is he at his best? I doubt it, but that is ultimately irrelevant. This will be a massive win for either of them and they'll get full credit either way.

    Pimp C here is my no excuse but real talk too.
    I will give credit however I wish Fury and Wilder had this fight years back bro.
    Wilder is now at his peak and Fury is maybe 75% of his old self from when he won the belt years ago. I will say even if this went down years ago Fury does not now or then have the power to keep Wilder honest or even stop or stun Wilder.

    I love the jerky movements and faints from Fury but the lack of power is going to be the downfall. Wilder is unpredictable; his footwork or lack of tbh scares me and he is sloppy when he gets excited but his jab is always spot on.

    I am picking Wilder by TKO in the 10th

    My point also is I wish this fight was after Fury won the belt but this is reality
    Fury signed up and so did Wilder. I still acknowledge Fury has the better boxing foundation but lacks power and speed which are the keys to Wilder being undefeated

    Wilder is 212 and Fury 256 at weigh in. Fury an inch or so taller than Wilder but out weights him by 40 lbs.

    Still a toss up fight for me.

    However this is the most mental clarity Fury has displayed in the past 5 years. I think that gives him a balance over the lost physical aspects he has lost to a certain degree

    Then PAC doesn't get full credit for beating unknown LEDWABA either, no heart man.

    The first fight was a robbery there js no doubt about that, only canelos own team had him winning (barely) everyome else had ggg winning. No one who wasnt mexican or american had canelo winning.
    Cant remember scoring the second fight but again the vast majority of people had ggg winning probably 80+%

    Kovalev vs ward again 90%+ had kovalev winning. Second fight ended in nut shots.

    The koreans had their boy winning against roy jones does that make it not a robbery?
    A lot of mexicans had chavez over whittaker i guess that means it was fair to

    No excuses. Full credit goes towards the winner, provided that there's no "controversy" tainting the end result (obviously).

    Both of these guys took a major risk in making this fight happen -- more of that is exactly what our sport needs.
