    Yeah this sums up your post, sorry but this is ******. Not a single argument, just a generalization ...
    What point of mine, was wrong, i'm listening ?

    I'll check your history out later, im sure we've argued before about fury, with your irrational hate and my irrational fanboyism.

    Bull****.

    Everyone has off days - it's important to recognise that in yourself and deal with it...
    I think Fury did that in this fight and actually I think AJ did it in Ruiz #1 - he knew he wasn't right, knew it wasn't going to be his day and accepted the L in the knowledge of a rematch guaranteed already.

    You're only ever as good as your condition on the day and your ability to produce what's needed with that in mind.

    Edit: whether by lack of condition or by damage taken, lacking this awareness is a potentially fatal weakness - Gman wasn't right in with Benn and should've quit long before he did, Wilder wasn't right by the time Breland threw the towel in in #2 and TBH wasn't right long before the final KO in #3 that took the decision out of his hands... Time will tell whether that stupidity has lasting implications but as fans of boxing we can only hope not.

    Evidence?

    Coming in heavy, looking slow, foregoing all the typical head movements that Fury always utilizes... Nope, not relevant, he's just declined, right? :risas3:

    It's not a question of whether he could, it's a question of whether he did.

    If he can't then that explains why he didn't...
    Problem is, you're making a correlation/causation fallacy here without realising it.

    Just because he wasn't fit doesn't mean he couldn't have been - perhaps he wasn't motivated, perhaps he was distracted by home issues, maybe a mild covid case really did have an impact, maybe his well documented mental health issues reasserted themselves...

    Plenty of possible explanations that seem far more plausible than a not particularly old heavyweight with an on/off career being shot despite having taken relatively little punishment to date.

    Fury doesn't look over the hill, he just had a bad camp and a long lay off, but at his worst he absolutely annihilated the second best in the world who was at his best. Fury is a brilliant fighter and is rated as such.

    He was 278lbs, do you seriously expect him to move like he did against Klitschko? He still had good movement, specifically head movement, and 33? That isn't washed especially for a heavyweight, nowadays that is prime because that is when you're experienced enough and also not declined physically, I mean look at Helenius, he has never looked better and he is 37, 38 in January, Usyk is 34 and just battered Joshua, these ages aren't washed up at all prime age for a heavyweight these days, based on actual evidence, is somewhere between 32 and 36, just look at the top fighters, Joe Joyce is 36 and doesn't look old or washed up

    That's unnecessarily kind to Wilder... But regardless it was still a great performance for an unfit fighter.

    This whole post bro with all due respect is, if he wanted, or if he, or has he, or, and or, maybe he, but he can't.
    What really stands out is, that he was not in a good shape, and it was obvious.
    As far as bad day in the office, this is way different compare to what you are trying to make. Bad day in the office means that you were ready, but on the so call day, for same reason(outside of your opponent) you just don't deliver.
    This wasn't the case. The case is Fury comes in a bad shape, when he had a year and a half time to be in shape, everything, like what you are saying with eh, oh, may, not, but, he, will, come, and all that b.c. is just excuses.
    If you can't get in shape for one of the most important matches in your career, than i don't know when he will be in shape.
    And yeah he is definitely past it, and his next match will show it. Let's see when that match will be first. Maybe after another 1,5 year and a half ?

    You're clutching at straws and talking in circles, not a good look - it's almost like seeing Wilder's excuse train all over again.

    It does matter why Fury wasn't fit - if it's anything other than "he was actually 100% as fit as he could be" then your entire argument here falls apart and shatters into tiny pieces.
    Unfortunately for you, it seems extremely likely that the reason IS something else or some combination of other things.

    Ironically, you should be latching onto Covid and saying that it suggests he's likely to be struggling for condition like that for some time because long Covid is a ***** like that... Again unfortunately, you're just not as clever as you think you are.

    Joyce is slow ****, but he started late, maybe one of the reason he still looks solid in terms of him.
    As far as prime i totally disagree. Some people may carry it over for longer years, but most don't. Even with the modern drugs and so.
    Fury for me is a good example for that and this will be clearly show in his next few matches, if he ever shows up again, maybe after 1,5 year.

    Usyk is already past his best, by a lot, and i'm not going to discuss on that again, cause we already have done this, and there was a thread for it.
    Not following Helenius and can't comment, but you got to take a factor that some fighters at certain point not taking their career seriously, or not doing enough, but actually doing that in later stage, and their result are better. But that doesn't mean they are in their physically prime at that advance age.
    Your physical attributes start to go down between 31-33 for the majority.

    This is because you buy the Wilder hype.

    Fury had already beaten him twice, didn't need to fight him again and knew it'd be easy again - and it was.

    It's easy to see why motivation would be a problem when there's levels between you and your opponent and you know it.

    You are the one with the excuses. And yeah buddy everyone knows that phrases, but you, you are as good as your last fight. This is a gold rule ....
    As far as Covid goes, he may have, or may not. For me it looks like he just wasn't ready, and wanted more time for the prep. And yeah in that mind that fight shows us exactly that. Guess in how much worst form he would have been in the fight was actually earlier ....

    And yeah it's all guesses, you know, this is a forum. My guess, your guess, simple as that. There is better and worst.
    But no one knows the absolute truth.

    Okay... So in previous posts you think it's entirely down to decline and won't hear otherwise, and now you accept that's not quite true.

    It's a start, I guess.

    Oh dear you are stretching it already. When the **** i ever complimented Wilder for anything??? Show me a single post of mine, where i was on his train, or buying his hype ?
    I was the first to mention he looks terrible, both on training, both on the gym with his ridiculous technique, and the stupid things he is doing, and the **** Yes trainer he got.

    As far as the easy, if you call 2 KD easy, oh dear, what mean hard then ? Fury was in a big trouble in that 4 round, and he should be thankful Wilder is such a terrible boxer, or we could have typed different stuffs now, you know ?

    And sorry buddy, but you just continue with the excuses.
    Fury is professional, and should not take anyone lightly, especially a big puncher like Wilder, who may not have much, but at least had that.

    And the first fight was a draw, last time i checked. Don't start another thread about that fight, pls. This is not about this.

    Entirely? Where did i use that word. I really hate when people try to catch for a words, just because it's suit their agenda.
    I have stated clearly why he is overrated for many reason, and why he is on the slide.
    You can accept it or not.
    And yeah what we do here is guesses and do our opinion. Some are better than the others, and some are nots. It's opinion after all, maybe you should check what that mean.
    Saying that in my mind i have my opinion, and you can't change it.

    And just like you could make a guesses about Fury camp, tho his words was he was in shape during all the time, and non-stop training, and had a great camp(i'm putting a clamp here, cause Fury is talking b.c. 99% of the time), just like you are claiming, because it's just that a claim that he just maybe wasn't motivated, had a bad camp or so, i could with ease say that he just can't get it any better anymore, cause his body doesn't allowed him to.
