    Tough call. Wilder can't box and against prime Fury would stand no chance.

    The comeback Fury of the last 2 fights just hasn't looked the same. Wilder will likely take it, whether by controversial US decision or Fury just not having the conditioning to go 12 and being stopped on his feet.

    That being said, can't bring myself to vote for Wilder, can't stand the bloke and he is a terrible boxer so Fury UD.

    Wilder by come from behind KO.

    Didn't expect the poll to be this close in the general (47/2/47 atm). Certainly not with the Brit forum only slightly favoring Fury.

    Food for thought....


    Wilder cant box.
    His lone attribute, power, is overrated.

    Meanwhile....

    Fury has the experience advantage
    The size advantage
    The age advantage
    The skills advantage

    ect....

    And he appears in the best shape hes been thus far in his career....

    I can't see him out working Fury as a swarmer either. The only way I see him winning rounds is with knockdowns and or dodgy judging.

    Wilder can't really box indeed, but he can punch and moves akwardly. In heavyweight skill usually is of less importance.
    And his power is there. His issue is delivering it, but his money punch is clearly Fury's achilles heel.

    Fury has the experience of fighting a Wlad that didn't do anything. Overall he has much less quality fights on his resume (can you imagine compared to Wilder?!) and has been inactive.
    Fury isn't as tall as he claims. He might be an inch taller as Wilder. He has a lot more mass though.
    Fury looks older as I am, and I'm 45.
    His skills are much, much better as Wilder's though. You can hardly compare the two.
    He can very well completely outbox Wilder 12-0 (8-4 on judges' cards). But he has to make it to the final bell without walking into something.

    Much as it pains me, I've got Wilder by stoppage.
    I think, at the end of the day, rust exists.

    The only result that would in any way be surprising would be a Wilder shut out on the cards.

    Intriguing fight.

    He’s tall, rangy, athletic, fast, has a good gas tank, and has a mean right hand. Those are his attributes in a nutshell, which have proven thus far to be sufficient in making up for a lack of good boxing skills.

    On Fury; surely that’s sarcasm, saying he’s in better shape than ever.

    Wilder mid to late stoppage. Wilder will be behind on points but eventually that right hand will land. If Cunningham put Fury on his butt then Wilder’s right will put him into another dimension.

    Wilder by easy stoppage, probably within 4 rounds

    This is a mismatch, i don't know why people don't see it
