    Wallin because he landed more shots but the punches Fury hit Wilder with were far harder than the shots he hit Wallin with, he has put on weight and was hitting a 250lbs heavybag in his prep to fight Wilder and said he overtrained to get his weight down to fight Wallin, Wilder landed a few right hands on Fury that were far harder than anything Wallin landed and Wilder would destroy Wallin with ease.

    Wllder got hit far less than Wallin in his first bout v Fury and dropped Fury twice while Wallin didn`t, he also had Fury out cold, different level of fighter to Wallin completely.

    Wallin is underrated, he's actually a decent heavyweight.

    He's now scheduled to fight Lucas Browne. It should be an easy win for him, even if Browne is juiced up on steroids.

    Fury was less than 50% when he first fought Wilder. That's why Wilder was willing to fight him, he knew the long layoff and massive weight gain/loss would weaken Fury.

    By the Wallin fight, Fury was coming back to decent fighting shape.

    Wilder looked good when he fought slow old men and chinny clubfighters. Fury in the second fight was the first decent opponent he ever faced.

    Wallin all night.
    Wallin vs Wilder would be a 50-50 fight.

    The nondescript viking took more rounds off Fury in one fight than Bootleg D did in two despite the fact he fought a much healthier, fitter, stronger, harder puncher and better prepared Fury than Bootleg D did in their first fight.

    Wallin even if in that bout Fury was injuried and he hadnt the new trainer on his corner.

    More Fury was off his game than Wallin is better than Wilder. I'd agree Wallin might be better than anybody thought, still to be proved tho.

    Wallin gave him a tougher fight, but....

    Fury obviously was more prepared for Wilder than Wallin, so it’s not a fair comparison.

    The outside the top 40 rank fighter took 4 rounds off Fury and gave him a cut that in any other fight most likely would have been stopped. Of course Wallin gave Fury the most trouble.

    Wilder dropped fury twice and nearly out

    Wallin landed punches but really if fury didn't get cut I doubt we would remember wallin.
