    I think you're selling Fury short in terms of conditioning (assuming he gets close to prior form, I always thought he had decent stamina, and otherwise typically paced himself well). And while I'd probably agree that Wilder is more of a natural athlete, I'm not sure that his reflexes are necessarily as good as Fury's (again, assuming he's close to prior form, which isn't a given).

    And I hope you're wrong about the delay game, but from what I've seen in videos, Fury already seems to have shed quite a few pounds since Seferi. But I guess the test will be Pianeta.

    I hope Wilder-Fury happens, as I honestly have no idea what might happen. But I'd sure like to watch and find out.

    That's the first video from you that I've seen. I really enjoyed it. I think the pacing of your comments is spot on and the choice of clips worked well.

    On the whole you gave a very balanced overview. I'm not convinced Furys lineal claim stacks up but I know I'm probably in the minority on that one.

    Oh and your voice and delivery reminds me a little of the late, great John Spencer who played Leo Mcgarry on the West Wing, but that could just be my Limey ear for an east coast accent ;)

    That's not a design flaw in Rummy's videos. It's a feature. Dude's from Boston or something. His accent gives it color.

    Damn posted my thoughts on the wrong thread. Good video all in all though I do disagree with a couple points. I'll paste it here.

    You're underselling Povetkin a little, I don't think it's an underwhelming fight at all. The only guy I'd put above Povetkin is Fury. And maybe on H2H basis Ortiz though Povetkin has a much better resume, so realistically you'd have to say Povetkin is higher.

    He's coming off a nice KO win too so it's not like he's just a guy who's over the hill with no momentum coming in.

    I'd also disagree that Fury fought the better version of Wlad. Wlad was so used to dominating small guys by fighting a totally safe fight that he got caught out when facing a big guy with skill. Wlad came in with a better plan and with more determination against Joshua than he did versus Fury. So even though Wlad was younger against Fury, the more dangerous fighter was the one that fought AJ, just my 2c.
