Fury is one of the most skilled HW of all time.

    I don't think that works, any more than defending Wilders patchy record by citing the Ortiz win convinces. Taking one performance and using it as the answer to any questions about a resume just highlights the lack of any supporting evidence in the rest of the record.

    You judge a fighter on the body of their work not one signature win.

    Hmmm, I know Fury is feeling fit and class is permanent etc etc but there's such a thing as 'match sharp' which I just can't see Fury being on Dec 1st.
    I think Wilder will clip him and finish Fury in a relatively shock win.
    Got my neck out for this one.
    I should add that I do not believe Wilder to be the superior fighter.

    in terms of a display of skill, yes it was. Entertainment, not so much

    but that was his first signature fight. And Ortiz wasn't a unified champ for a decade. But my point was, you can't just take wins off someones resume to make a point

    :lol:

    If you truly believe this then you need the men in the white coats to take you away.

    Fury looked ordinary against a completely shot Pianeta.

    He's got flashes of his old movement, yes. But That's not enough at the highest level and snail-slow Pianeta was able to land on him. Fury's punches are softer than I've ever seen them and he never was a puncher. So he's got nothing to scare Wilder off with.

    He needs at least 2 more tune ups.

    Wilder will likely finish him in the first 3 rounds.

    OP has either watched boxing for 3 months or forgot to log on with his MVC account.

    His punching technique is terrible. There's more to boxing skill than dancing around flicking out a jab.

    No, it's the biggest fight apart from AJ ...

    BTW Wilder wins by KO at some point, it was always a difficult stylistic match-up for Fury and this version of Fury is not focussed enough to avoid him for 12 rounds.
