    Look man...I actually like Fury, I think he's funny, he's not afraid to mix it up and fight, he has some legitimate ability, and I respect it. He had his chance to fight Wilder and refused...not saying he was afraid, I'm just saying for whatever reason he didn't want the fight.

    If you mean right after Wilder won his title, Fury was on the line to face Wlad next, for 10 times more money than he would've gotten from fighting Wilder.

    Cool...I'm not sure why you are getting so defensive. You say you'd heavily favor Fury over Wilder, when Fury's chin is worse than Wilders...his power is less...and technically it's not like he's Ali in there. Outside of just "liking" him better I felt your assessment was off base, it doesn't mean that I want to fight you or hate Fury. I too would lean to Fury based on his experience, but "heavily favor" implies there being a real significant difference, and that just doesn't exist. IMHO

    I don't know why you think I'm getting defensive, I'm not a Fury fan at all. In fact, I said in a different thread that I used to think Wilder/Fury would've been a 50/50 fight before the Washington fight, who was probably Wilder's first big opponent who can fight tall, It made me see this possible match up differently. Wilder would surely have a punchers chance, but stylisticly,(not to say Fury's levels above) I see Fury controlling the range, having Wilder confused in there with his awkward movement, rangy jab from different stances and winning a clear decision. But Fury may never come back so that's just a fantasy match up.
