    For boxing sake.. Fury, I want the youngsters and the fighters of the future of the sport to look up to a boxer that has skills and want to emulate that and have to put the work Into sharpen their skills to be the best they can be, more than I want them to emulate wilders crappy style and execution of fighting, it just isn't good for boxing going forward.

    Gypsy warrior, putting not only his lineal belt on the line but also his lineal ankles.

    Settle down and stop getting angry over an opinion you total dunce. You're just as annoyingly partisan as any fanboy.

    For boxing's sake, I want the sport to have an exciting Tyson like violent KO artist to be at the helm. No one wants to see Fury's big ogre looking ass tip toeing through the tulips and pitty patting his opponents in mind numbing borefests. The sport has already been dealt enough damage by the likes of Mayweather, casual fans love the Pacquiao's, Golovkin's and yeah, even the Canelo's of the sport, they have no use for slick sweet scientists, which is exactly why no one wastes their money on Bud Crawford PPV's and read the results on the web the next day.

    Not really. If Tyson is fit, focused, and healthy (not injured) he'll box Wilder's ears off. If he's not he'll probably get ko'd. It seems simple to me.

    Personally i think Fury rises to the level of opposition that he is facing.

    He simply couldn't be arsed with the lesser opponents. He knows what he is facing and he will come as ready as he can be.

    I think Fury aggression doesn't mean trading which most people seem to think.

    My thoughts are Fury aggression means staying on Wilders Chest, intelligently applying pressure and getting into close range, and using his natural size to wear him out.

    I dont feel Wilder has an inside game and if Fury can get on the inside as use his weight and inside skill advantage he will be able to wear Wilder out.

    Fury by wide ish UD.

    But if wilder catches him with a perfect shot it could be over at any point.

    Absolutely great fight. I am so excited.

    Fury. Max Kellerman made a great argument with Radio Rahim a few hours ago, saying that if Wilder wins he's a huge star in the US, but if Fury wins he's a huge star globally. I totally agree. So for the sake of boxing, Fury winning is better. Not to mention age. Wilder won't have much left to give after this fight. He's 34 now.

    Wilder isn't Mike Tyson or Floyd Mayweather. He doesn't appeal to the UK audience whatsoever.

    And I want Fury vs AJ to be absolutely colossal. That thing would do 2, maybe even 3 million buys in the UK. No joke. It's bigger than AJ-Wilder is globally, on UK numbers ALONE. It's like the 1966 World Cup all over again, it's THAT big here in the UK.

    I'm pretty confident if/when Fury loses, he won't make any excuses. I'd say the same for Wilder, too.

    These guys are doing hundreds of hours of interviews, endlessly being asked the same questions and trying to answer them. As soon as a snippet of information is uncovered, it's uploaded to YouTube and people get giddy over its significance.

    Fury revealed his ankles were hurt at the beginning of camp but added all is fine now, and yet people start frothing at the mouth.

    I hate fight week.

    There are times whenI actually find myself liking both fighters!

    I don’t like Wilders ‘Bronze Bomber’ character, he’s obnoxious when he’s shouting “bomb squad” and calling for a “body”.
    On the other hand when he’s being himself, he’s quite likeable and I’m sure at his core he’s a decent man!

    That said, I want Fury to win because I don’t like how Wilders handlers have mollycoddled and hand picked his opponents in an attempt to steal Marciano’s record. I know the draw already prevents this but a loss would end the facade once and for all.

    I actually like both guys but I prefer Fury’s style so I guess I’ll be rooting for him. Fury shows that there’s more to boxing than just power.
