    If Wilder is somehow able to KO Fury in February, his stock will rise tremendously as being the lineal and Ring champ. After this happens, Joshua/Hearn will have to make this fight in 2021, right ? Or do you think they continue to fight the Whytes/Ruiz/Millers of the world? What are your thoughts? If Fury wins, I have no doubt that Joshua would jump at the chance to fight him in the UK.

    I do like the idea of the Ring belt. Only given when #1/#2 fight. Although it could be argued that AJ is 1/2. Either way, kudos to Ring Magazine for making Fury #1 and increasing the chance of a Joshua/Wilder matchup.

    Don't forget the Mayan belt which Fury also currently holds with pride.

    The mythical 'Lineal' belt. No ones ever seen it or held it physically and yet it seems to hold more sway with some people than the mighty Ring of Power or some **** like that. It's nice that Fury gets to carry it around, especially after sitting on the couch for 3 years, eating burgers, pounding a ton of white up his nose and chugging down a small lake of alcohol, all the time while having PED. use charges hanging over him.

    Then he comes back against the best Cruiserweight in all of Albania in Seferi and the former Avenger, Pianetta, after which, he gives us his best impression of the Undertaker and then swats aside the huge threat that was Scwartz and who could forget the titanic struggle against future HOF'er Wallin.

    If that's all it takes to be considered Lineal, Ring and no.1 Heavyweight in the Yulaverse, then sign me up.

    Well first you have to beat the #1. But I guess if you skip that step you might have a chance.

    Don’t disagree with you but the guy has skills and is regarded by most of the top heavies to be the hardest to beat. Even Usyk has Fury as #1.

    If Wilder gets bamboozled by Fury again and loses his title where does that leave him as a big punching, poor drawing danger man?

    as

    WBC, Lineal, WBA, WBO, IBF, and WWE World & Intergalactic Heavyweight Champion by 2021

    as pathetic as that sounds it could happen by some time in 2021...

    KTFO of Fury alone would secure the WWE and Lineal Championship not to mention the MAD Magazine Title!!

    Even if it sells like the first time and has a definitive result? That doesn't seem that much of s stretch. In fact it sounds the likely outcome.

    It's easy to come up with an angle to sell Wilder rematches to the public because more often than not, his opponent will be up several rounds at the time they've been knocked out. Then you just sell the "I was winning easily til you caught me with a lucky punch!" narrative.

    Or if Wilder loses, he's simply the former champion coming back for "his" title.

    Really not that hard to see that a third fight is in the cards.

    I feel like Brad Pitt in Moneyball when he says "If he's good hitter then why doesn't hit good?" - so if Wilder is an easy sell why doesn't he sell well?

    This is not a criticism of Wilder, more a genuine question as to why people keep expecting him to sell well when he never has in the past despite having so many things in his favour. He's an American human highlight reel in an era when the US has been starved of the heavyweight championship of the world.

    His last fight was a rematch against a guy nobody knows tbat already KO'd... and he still sold almost twice as much as Golovkin vs Jacobs.

    Wilders brand and drawing power is obviously on the rise.
