    Regardless of how much better his opposition might be compared to him, Wilder will always have at least a puncher's chance in any match he's in. That right hand of his is devastating and can change a fight in his favor at any given moment.

    That's a good point. Fury will look to use the movement all night and try to keep Wilder from getting the big power set, and also because of his height, he is not in danger of getting caught lunging in. He might pot shot and move his way to a decision against the relatively inexperienced Wilder.

    Uh, facts, logic and reason all confirm that an 8 week camp is twice as good as four. Any idiot gets that.

    Then again, you are several levels below idiot. You think tonight CONFIRMED Wilder's power.
     
  4. I pick wilder over fury.

    The power is incredible, but he needs to tune those skills a little bit. He's very awkward in there.

    He just doesn't pull off the showmanship part at all. Hes not a good enough boxer.

    Puncher on the other hand

    Totally agree. Fury could actually win several ways, but that's definitely one of the strategies I see him using.

    Nope. Not compared to Wilder's it isn't. Intangibles and other variables factor into this equation.

    It's not just one fight that this all hinges upon, which is why I cited a few other examples and the actual way those KO's turned out. Mike Tyson took 8 rounds to even put James 'Buster' Douglas on the canvas (in a loss), when Evander Holyfield destroyed Buster in 3 rounds. How many posters here would suggest that 'The Real Deal' actually had as much -or more- power than 'Iron Mike' on this forum? Context and circumstances make a difference. I don't have the time to go into every little detail that certain Wilder-haters are (intentionally) overlooking.

    The Bottom Line: Wilder is not feather-fisted the way some of the usual posters on this forum claimed.
