    It's easy for Wilder to look so good againt such **** poor opposition, Fury really would look like Tyson if he fought Wilders opposition.
    Also I have a feeling Wilder's punch resistance is going to be a problem...But he does have some very good moves in that ring, doesnt move like a heavyweight at all, which is refreshing to see, but damn how light is this guy, 6ft7 and the guy could probably make cruiserweight!

    I like both guys right now. I do think Wilder has more refinement in the technical aspects of the game.

    I'm not sure why you think Wilder is going to have a chin problem. Is it because he's tall and thin?

    According to wikipedia Fury's amatuer record was 26-4 with 26 KO's ?

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    I've seen him lost, and won on points.

    Kind of reminds me of how someone really believed that Kelly Pavlik was 60-something with 60 knockouts.

    I would have to agree that Wilder is much better than Fury. It makes me think that the only reason this guy is getting hype is because of his name. Wilder is in shape, does not have tits, has great hand and footspeed for his size and has more power than Fury. Wilder is also much more of an athlete than Fury.

    They are both fighting tonight:

    I can honestly say that I like both guys. Fury throws some good combinations and Wilder is fast and moves well. Wilder is obviously a naturally athletic guy.

    I think they're gonna add some excitement to the game when they start stepping up. Give them a couple of years.

    I have a feeling we might see these two fight each other some day.

    he looks good but lacks the defense which in all fairness against a butterball of an opponent like that he didnt need any defense, he was picking him apart. Fury and Wilder need to fight fighters who have less fat and who are more skilled in the ring rather than the quality of oppositiong their fighting now to see whether there any good or not.

    still based on from what ive seen i say wilder would take Fury to points based on skill but based on power/defense i go for a Fury TKO

    they're only 3 - 4 fights into their careers. I dont have a problem with their levels of opposition. If they stay fighting these guys then I'll have a problem. But right now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Frankly both guys have such limited amateur experience that I dont mind seeing them feast on straight bums for the next 20 fights or so, as long as they are very active.

    Fury has the greater talent imo and will establish over the course of his career a better legacy in the sport than .Fury was a very good amateur who only really lost to a Russian beast Maxim Babanin as a junior.His wins included top ranked US super heavy Michael Hunter.Hunters a better fighter than Wilder and was probably the reason Wilder only boxed at heavy rather than super heavy for the US.He sucked at the Olympics,showed no heart and whilst hes an athletic decent on top fighter he will be exposed the moment he steps up to contender status against someone that will push him back and hit him on the chin.

    Fury is garbage. Seriously, I don't consider myself a negative boxing fan but for god's sake, the ONLY reason this guy has buzz is because his first name is Tyson and his last name is Fury. He'll get destroyed by someone we've never even heard of before long.
