    Let’s not forget that Szpilka outboxed Wilder before the KO comprehensively.

    All versions of Fury are far superior than Szpilka and add to that the sheer size of Fury.

    He has a great chance of beating Wilder. He will cruise rounds early on. Sure a Canelo-Khan style fight could well pan out but Fury didn’t look “bad” like people are saying. He looked his usual self against Pianeta, perhaps lacking a bit of sting in his shots.

    To be completely honest I was expecting him to be worse than he was, and to be fair to the big guy, he was much much better.
    With a good camp and some good old clean living I wouldn't be at all surprised if he beats wilder, I can see him spirit leveling him out with a huge left tarmac to the right ear!

    Get ready for the upset fellas, it is coming and watch how the manufactured one avoids him like the plague.

    He managed to avoid Wlad for 12 who is a far superior boxer to Wilder. There is a reason Wlad would not open up against Fury and that's because he knew he would get chinned. Fury is far to quick for any other heavyweight out there and Wilders only chance of a KO is to take chances himself. This is why the fight is so interesting Wilder needs to rush him or he will loose on a decision.

    Wlad is a robot. literally.

    All Fury had to do in that Klitschko fight was feint every few seconds and the robot malfunctioned. The robot struggled to tell the difference between feints and an actual attack.

    That will not happen with Wilder. He won't be faced at all with those frequent feints. Fury is getting iced badly in this fight.

    This...
    Yes I watched them last night and some a bit earlier, topped off by the kilt fight.
    Tyson doesn't look the same...Fact!
    Now whether that is down to him wanting to get the rounds in as has been suggested, well I suppose that's a possibility. But analysing how he looked only, then vs now, then he looked a better fighter back then.
    Btw has a date been announced yet? Does anyone know?
    I heard early Nov in Vegas been mooted.

    Pianeta lost to an 11 fight novice in his previous fight and was stopped by ancient Kevin Johnson, Daniel Dubois' next opponent ,he was tailor made, a walking punch bag with no ambition ,with just a,
    "glad to be here making some £ ," mindset.

    I'd like to know how he qualifies for a title shot? How does he get to jump the queue over genuine contenders who have beaten current top ten ranked opponents?

    Wilder is turning into something that he is not. Tyson will box his ears off as long as he stays on his feet. His skill set, understanding of range and lateral movement will be far too much. Lets be honest, Wilder has lost alot of rounds to guys he shouldn't have - Washington, Szpilka and obviously Ortiz was winning that fight until the knockout.

    His power is overrated as well. Can he bang - yes, is he a monster - no in my opinion. His last 8 fights have gone 12, 9, 11, 9, 8, 5, 1 and 10. I think Wlad punches harder and is obviously far more capable of setting up shots and Fury negated him for 12. This is not a dig at Wilder because I respect him for agreeing to go to Russia and fight Povetkin, for taking Ortiz, for wanted AJ and agreeing Fury.

    Its not ideal for Fury but he'll be better again at the end of the year and I think it will be relatively comfortable. I wouldn't be surprised if he knocked Wilder out.

    That’s the problem with the criticism, much of it is stemming from an overreaction from casuals who only started following Fury because he’s a “lad” and “brings the bantz” on Twitter. None of them realise that he is not an explosive boxer and that performance on Saturday was typical Fury.

    Fat Boy Stiverne managed to go 12 rounds.

    If he can, then Tyson sure can.

    Remember when everyone said Wilder was awful?

    Soon as Fury set to fight him suddenly he's a prime Mike Tyson.

    Fury wins.
