    Yeah he was sparring and getting beat up by Jared Andersen and Efe Ajagba. And he still had a spare tire around his waist. Fury has been celebrating and partying for over a year and bow that it's time to get back to work, he's making excuses like faking Covid. This dude has 0 title defenses on a belt that he won 2 times. How do you guys still praise him after that?

    Dave Price was chasing him around Liverpool after Fury refused to pay his plumbing bill.

    Fury has been training and the more likely scenario is that even after a camp, he knew he was not anywhere near ready after a long absence.

    The one fighter you don't want to face not being 100% is Wilder.

    Would never be surprised with Fury's next steps whether postponing fights or even retiring like David Haye suddenly did in 2013 after finding in the gym that the desire was no longer there and the body no longer up to it.

    Big Joan Fury knows his son well and the vibes are not good.

    Fury has beat wilder (albeit got a draw when he was around 60%) and then ironed him out when he was 100%. I have a feeling we’re going to get something in between the two this time. At the end of the day and for all his power, Wilder just isn’t very good at all and has barely won a completed round of boxing since 2017

    I remember when everyone said Fury would pull out of the first fight in Los Angeles.

    Matchroom fans were in tears knowing Fury had taken the USA from Joshua.

    I thought he was going to be flattened - he was and somehow rose from the canvas.

    Still cannot believe it.

    I can. What I still don't get is why others have trouble believing it.

    Wilder is not heavy handed but explosive. He needs extension but he didn't have them on those punches.

    Did you not think fight was over when he hit the canvas?

    I couldn't believe Fury had a weak chin. Those punches didn't seem to have a lot of power on them.

    Fury’s final chance. If he pulls out again then he needs to be stripped.

    In an ideal world Fury and Joshua get chinned so we can have an undisputed heavyweight title fight without a Hearn or John Fury in sight.

    I’m not sure how Fury has “taken the USA”
    he gives away more tickets for his fights than he sells.

    That was one of Wilder's best punches thrown in his career and that was simply an incredible recovery from Fury to get back on his feet.

    Yup, with the additional left that connected also, plus is head slamming on the canvas i immediately thought it was over.

    But like you say that recovery by him was unbelievable, i have never seen anything like it in over 40yrs following the sport.

    All his other knockouts had better, more powerful straight punches.

    An undisputed Johnny foreigner? No way Jose, it has to be an Englishman.
