    I predict Wilder KO. I'll also be pulling for Wilder as well.

    Fury is definitely more gifted in the skills department.

    But hes a fat POS. Only Fury can call his current condition as slim and trim like hes doing right now. For every other pro fighter his current physicality would be a joke.

    Yeah he's out of shape. That's why he was cruising through the rounds against Pianeta with no hint of fatigue and then completed three rounds of padwork in the dressing room after, followed by a core workout. So out of shape.

    If he loses it'll be about rust and dust, not shape.

    Or, of course, quality of opposition.

    He cruised because of his height and reach and skill.

    Hes fat and out of shape.

    His fitness is there, he ain't out of shape in that dept.
    It's his timing and efficency of movement snd thought process thats not there yet

    He was moving more in that fight than most heavyweights do. So again, how is he out of shape? He clearly could have done that for 15 rounds with ease. So what if he cruised because of his height and reach and skill? No ****. That's what enabled him to cruise against Wlad. His height, reach and skill is what makes him.

    That's like saying Wilder only knocks people out because he has power. No ****ing **** mate.

    Because it was against a guy who is actually a bum. Not even a journeyman.

    He is not the most technically skilled heavyweight, he doesn't even know how to throw a punch with leverage.
    People think good movement = skilled, that's bull****.

    Fury is an awkward fighter with very good movement for his size but he is often clumsy and has subpar punching
    technique, he can't be considered as the most skilled heavyweight fighter when the best punch he has ever thrown
    was the uppercut in his own face.

    Ortiz, Joshua, Povetkin and even Parker have better skills than Fury.

    Fury is just awkward, moves exceptionally well for his size and has a solid ring iq but he is not that skillful, only
    decent but not great boxing skills.

    There's a difference in being in shape and being in fighting shape.
    Fury is not in fighting shape, and he even mentioned how he would like another tune up in a recent interview.

    But he did the same thing against Wlad... So was Wlad a bum? Or are you now just going to accept that perhaps Fury is not out of shape at all? Whether you are boxing a bum or a good fighter, you won't be able to cruise 10 rounds without fatigue if you are not in shape.

    The resistance and pressure of an opponent makes a significant difference. We should all be honest about that. If he was in the ring against a Povetkin or Whyte for instance do you really think he could up that pace?

    Chisora is a pressure fighter, one of the best around today who doesn’t stop throwing and Tyson cruises through that. Yes I do believe that he would do the same to Povetkin and especially Whyte who has a poor gas tank and throws wild punches off balance. Whyte actually would get knocked out easily for that reason.

    Fury is talented, but I'd disagree with saying that he's without a doubt the most skilled heavyweight. Fury, Wilder, and Joshua all excel at different things.

    I have no doubt that Fury would be able to do that when in great shape and also practiced. This version of Fury, not yet IMO. I'd say let him take on a top 20 guy first, then a top 10 fighter, and then he deserves a title match and his shape and technique would be entirely returned to form.
