    I won a few quid that night on a Fury stoppage. Felt he would win but was convinced of the stoppage when I watched the weigh in.

    Still not sure what you're getting at.
    Have I misinterpreted your post ? The one where you said you knew Fury would get him 2nd time around .... ?

    Lol it's all good. I thought Wilder was going to win the rematch, never did I expect Fury to completely dominate him and beat him up in style.

    I had a dream last night that Wilder knocked Fury out in the first round in the third fight lol.

    I still think Wilder is a live dog in the fight.

    He’s a live dog in any fight but if we’re honest he will probably be outboxed by the whole top 15 if he doesn’t land that one Hail Mary.

    Yeah, I was in two minds.
    Ever since the first fight, (where a sub-par Fury 6 months into his comeback was robbed of the decision, imo) I reckoned a better prepared Fury would have to be strongly favoured to beat Wilder in any rematch, and maybe stop him.
    But on the other hand, with the Wallin fight suggesting Fury might well be on his way out, AND that he'd changed his trainer very close from the fight ..... and the fact that Wilder was still getting the KOs in every fight ..... gave me a lot of reason to doubt.

    I still think he would spark pretty much anybody else out.

    It's difficult to say with Wilder.
    I always thought Joshua has all the tools to take Wilder out early, 2 to 5 rounds.
    But it's been a while since we saw Joshua take anyone out early ..... and the more cautious he fought, the more I saw how Wilder might be his worse nightmare, because Wilder tends to get through against boxers who hope to play it safe for a full 12 rounds ...... and AJ post-Ruiz, who knows ?
    It's far more of an intriguing fight now than ever. With Fury confirming Wilder can be nullfied and bullied if put on the backfoot, suggests Joshua could indeed do the job on Wilder. But there's reason to believe Joshua may be more cautious and gunshy that ever, which would play into Wilder's old game.

    Unfortunately, the fight will probably never happen.

    Fighters like Ruiz, Parker, Hunter, Usyk might have a chance against Wilder, but I wouldn't count on it.

    Yeah I think you’re spot on. If Joshua wants to beat Fury he’s got to go gung ho like Fury. Fury has set the blue print now and I know he’s levels above the rest of the division but I think if the majority adopt those tactics they defeat Wilder.
