    Helenius will take a dive.

    I'm 43 now and when I was younger and actually sparred I sparred MW-LHW range. How does your response make any logical sense, or take away from what I said being accurate?

    To have the strength to push him off.

    So a 212-pounder (Wilder in the first fight) wouldn't have to fight a 273 pounder (Fury in the third fight).

    To not by outweighed by 60 + pounds by the time the third fight rolled around.

    Helenius only weighs in the 230-240 range.

    But, like all Wilder's opponents, he (Helenius) will likely still have a weight advantage.

    Forget the fanboys, technically he is terrible. He can put so much on it, if he had a proper technique. The way he throws it, first he doesn't push from the back leg, then he doesn't rotate his front foot enough, and not putting his body into the punch almost at all. Terrible technique.

    In Martial Arts Hooks are probably the punch that are very different from one to another martial arts, but that is the one of the worst technique i have ever seen from a "competent" fighter, which Wilder should be, having in mind he is a World Champ.

    Nothing funnier than a bunch of yes men training a fighter then gloating on social media with some crappy padwork

    See it so often.

    Toddlers can mimic Floyd Mayweather's padwork.

    The toddlers and Floyd couldn't hold the WBC Heavyweight Title for five years and make 10 successful defenses.

    And that EXACT "crappy left hook" in the original post of this thread that Wilder throws caught Fury as his ass was heading for the ground.
    :rolleyes:

    He doesn't lead with it. He finished up with it.

    Guy is fun, atomic right hand, big fighting heart. Looking forward to seeing what he's got left. Would still like to see Wilder-Joshua, though I'm not expectant.

    Wilder also looked sharp in training before the third fury fight.

    I think you're expecting too much from him, to be honest.

    He can't throw combinations like Rocky Marciano.

    He ain't ****ing 14 stone, that's why.

    He's HEAVY.

    Fury is slightly better than Robert Helenius.

    Yeah would love to see that. Would answer a lot of unanswered questions in the division.
