Tyson Fury beats Deontay Wilder in my opinion (assuming fair fight). Here's why (objective analysis)

Deontay Wilder has EXTREMELY suspect boxing skills on the front foot when he chases an opponent where he is forced to close the distance and forced to cut the ring off. Deontay Wilder has never proven to be one of the best pressure fighters. I can't think of many TOP opponents Wilder has knocked out as a PRESSURE FIGHTER!

Tyson Fury is taller and has the longer reach. Plus, he specializes in back foot boxing and lateral movement. This spells recipe for disaster for Deontay Wilder!

The equation / formula is as follows:

Deontay Wilder's average (or even below average) pressure fighting skills + Tyson Fury's longer reach + taller height + one of the best lateral movement and back foot boxing skills at heavyweight = Wilder's downfall and kryptonite.

Wilder can't win a boxing match against Fury (outside of bias scorecards). That much is established! So his only chance at winning is via knockout! However, Wilder has failed to KO many opponents, including glass jawed opponents with his first right hand or even multiple right hands (does Eric Molina ring any bells?). So there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to believe Wilder is going to KO Fury with his first right hand or even with a few right hands.

Wilder may need to land multiple right hands on Fury to get the KO. However, how does he do so when Wladimir Klitschko, who has a far better right hand that is straighter, more accurate and more technically sound, failed to even register in double digit clean right hands?

If Fury was able to neutralize the much better Wladimir Klitschko's right hand, then how does Wilder manage to land sufficient right hands on Fury when his right hand is more telegraphed, less accurate, less precise, less straight and technically inferior in terms of mechanics?

Wilder may get the KO if he lands an absolute perfect right hand on Fury like he did against Artur Szpilka. But at this level, he has never proven that he has that kind of accuracy and timing. Especially when a better right hand knockout artist in Wladimir Klitschko failed to connect with a perfect right hand on Fury.

People are talking about Fury's suspect stamina after his comeback. But Wilder has never been a Jarrell Miller / Alexander Povetkin / Oleksandr Usyk type pressure fighter or a high volume fighter who tests his opponent's stamina and forces them to fight at a higher pace or intensity that requires high stamina. So there's no reason to believe Fury's stamina is going to be tested much. Since Wilder usually has a low output and fights at a low pace / intensity.


Deontay Wilder doesn't do any better against Fury than Wladimir Klitschko did. In fact, Wilder is inferior on the front foot than Wlad. So I suspect this might even be an easier night's work for Fury.


Just for the record, I'm not a fan / fanboy / fanatic of either boxer. I could care less who wins this fight. Don't like either boxer! However, this is my 100% neutral, unbiased and objective analysis / breakdown of this upcoming clash.
