    Bomb Squad or Team Fury?

    Lets go.....

    If you don't support either.....Get gone!!!!


    I'm part of Team Fury. Looking @ where Tyson has come from you would have to say this would be one of the greatest wins in the sport of all time!!!

    While this would be a great story and big win for Fury, I'm going to be in the crowd cheering on my fellow American.

    Fury not because I think he is going to win but I find Wilder a complete moron and hopefully someone puts this clown out of business once and for all...

    I like both guys, but Fury is typically more entertaining. Love his humor.

    I'm a Brit and can't stand loud mouth, delusional, uncharasmatic, fake and fraudulent gobshites like Wilder so I'm rooting for Fury. Fury would also benefit on occasion from not talking but, he talks with more conviction and belief than Wilder would know what to do with.

    I also feel that boxing as a whole would benefit from a Fury victory as the comeback story alone would be movie worthy. Plus I want to see Wilders cherry pick go horribly wrong so that I can relish in Wilders fanbois going into meltdown

    I didn't actually say in sports, I said in the sport (of boxing)

    Few Sports have as much history as boxing though
    Boxings heavyweight Championship is argubly the most prestigious individual title in all of sports

    Try to name a title with more prestige!!! With more cultural significance????

    If it aint no 1, it must be no 2 lol. Actually it is number 1 and hands down IMO.
    Maybe I am a little biased I don't know?

    Tyson getting stripped and ballooning up only adds to the greatness of the win, if it happened.

    I don't think Fury can win mind you, I expect him to get ktfo

    Fury. He's never been my favorite fighter to watch fight. But he is hilarious. I've grown tired of Wilder's antics and attitude. I don't know if it's an act or the real him, but i don't care for him either way

    Boxing HW USED to be the most prestigious title. But not any more. And that doesn't make this some major win if Fury takes it. Hell, his win over Wlad would still trump a win over Wilder, since if I recall, most picked Wlad over the untested Fury at the time (Of course, the revisionists have already deemed Wlad completely shot after the fact...)

    Will it be a good win? Of course. Is it a HUGE win? Probably, but moreso due to the lack of excitement or drama, or significant fights in the HW division.

    But i don't see a Fury win as something hugely monumental or historic.

    Both my parents are originally from Tuscaloosa but they're also both gypsies.

    From where fury came from....if he was to win...it would be massive imo. This is a guy that was nearly 30 stone. No training. Drinking and doing cocaine for years. Not only that but battling what sounds like very serious mental problems. The guy prayed every day to die.

    If he beats wilder I only really see Foreman's comeback as being better. Can't think of anyone else who's done better in terms of comebacks after setbacks like that. To do that after 2 mediocre comeback fights where he's looked ropey....to take on the next best thing as dangerous as wilder is and beat him. Even when your whole teams advised him not to take it. Sometimes in life you,ve no option but to take your hat off. That would defo be worthy.

    Pressures on wilder for me atm. This should be an easy win. Fury looks like he's turned up to rewrite the script.

    I support the American vs the completely whacko Gypsy drug fiend.
    Fury will be sent into the dust bin of boxing history by an atomic right hand in round 9.
    He will return to his trailer and end his days in a cocaine and whiskey orgy.
