Hearn now mentioned May as the month they're looking at for the fight. That won't give Fury much time for a tune-up. Would it be a mistake for Fury to go into the fight without one?
It couldn't hurt, AJ just had a tune up. I know he planned to have one in December, but Wilder nixed that.
Wallin won ~4 rounds AJ won't win 1. He is objectivly better Better gameplan Better fight IQ Better footwork Better chin Better gas tank Better mentality & better looking!
I don't know. A.J definitely should have tune up with Usyk in the ring. Even Usyk is not 39 y.o Pulev.
He doesn't need a tune-up but it is a shame he's been kept out of the ring (partly his fault probably) when he looked so good in his last fight. He already threw away his absolute prime years back in 2016 and 2017. His whole career has been a bit start-stop-splutter-stall.
Pulev (tallest at 6'4" but horribly static) Ruiz Takam Povetkin Parker AJ's last opponents are basically plodding glorified midgets. He's going to brick himself fighting a bigger man. Fury: Wallin 6'6" Schwarz: 6'5" Wilder 6'7" & made them all look small Who will AJ spar to prepare for Fury? There is nobody. Helenius. Fury can spar Joyce, Dubious & a never-ending list of young talent.
Pulev: 39 y.o underdog. Panda: underdog that gave a lot of problems. Takam: fight might had not be stopped. Parker: nice ref in hometown Povetkin: small for HW out of prime and over the hill. This content is protected He had improved and This content is protected he did 3 rd fight vs Ruiz I had better assumptions about him. then he might be maybe 2-1 vs Ruiz and not like now 1-1. Until he will have Ruiz in the ring for 3 rd fight, I can't tell that he is better than Ruiz. Not at all. He should prove this. Fury had fights vs Wilder as supposed underdog in U.S and he vs Wilder is 1-0-1. It does matters a lot.
That's very possibly the case unfortunately, even though Wilder 2 is the fight where he has impressed me the most.
