    I agree fury was reckless against Cunningham but the point I was making was once the knockdown happened fury then switched on and completely bullied and man handled Cunningham and I believe if fury was still able to do that that would be the perfect way to beat wilder constantly tie him up push him back and fight on the inside , tire wilder down early lean all over him and make it ugly he doesn't need to try and look good boxing at range, unfortunately I don't think fury can do that anymore he prefers to fight long and cautious and that suits wilder as we saw in the first fight!

    Did you stick a dipstick up his keister and check his oil to ascertain this? Or is it you merely hoping it to be the case?

    Basing it off wilder doesnt have the tools to box with fury. To get anywhere he has to push the fight....the problem he had the first time was he tired fighting the bigger man and pushing the fight. The only success he got was when fury tired himself because fury wasn,t really ready to fight wilder when he did. He should be now tho.

    I still say wilder gets his knockouts on his gameplan probably more so than his power. Hes frustrating opponents...with his style. The opponent needs to follow him about. Its a terrible proposition for opponents who have to close the gap on him when most of them have slow feet to boot. It becomes just one guy following him and becoming a sitting duck in the process for the right hand.

    You half beat wilder by not needing to do that. Furys size means wilder has to push the fight....his power then becomes not nearly as deadly. He starts to overshoot the right hand from too far out....you can see it coming. Thats half the problem the opponents dont see it coming because their job is to get inside on a guy that moves back.....unsure when hes throwing it. You dont get time to prepare for it.

    People think wilder has the option to coast till fury tires...but he only had that option against ortiz because ortiz had to get inside with the shorter reach. Its hard work when the longer reached opponent moves back everytime you try to go on the offensive. The klitchko,s done it for years. Fury himself does it. And so does wilder. Only he cant get away with it against a longer reached fury. Fury will outbox him if he doesnt push the fight and wilder will tire first if he has to push it with the weight

    Wilder looks like he can beat anyone based off watching guys that cant fight against his style.

    As long as fury is fitter which he should be....he,ll beat him again.

    All just my opinion anyway.

    I agree with some comments here on fury's lifestyle catching up with him etc but I think he has been undermotivated against Wallin etc and will turn it up against Wilder -- but I am still picking Wilder in this one. Not a certain pick but I think he will score the KO

    didn’t Jurgen get banned (again) for this type of puerile language?

    Double standards please.
