    Devastating puncher versus a slick Gypsy. Are we in for another schooling?

    Its quite possible, there are similarities. Lemmy is more rounded than Wilder but Wilder is quicker and sharper. Based on Furys 2 comeback fights his own sharpness and reflexes are not fully revived yet, if they ever will be, Hes clearly got the skill to do to Wilder what Saunders did to Lemieux but not without his reflexes being at there best again, he needs more time.

    I think Furys down fall could well be the speed at which Wilder attacks. Would be more than happy to be proven wrong. Come on the Furious one.

    ^ Ukansodoff is right. I personally think Fury could box Wilder's ears off ... AT HIS BEST ... but he's nowhere near his best. When a guy is as fast and powerful (albeit inaccurate in general) as Wilder fractions of a second in reaction time mean the difference between an epic schooling and an embarrassing sampling of the canvas.

    Sadly I have to pick Wilder in this one.

    Lemieux is a slow footed plodder. Wilder is not.

    Lemieux is actually more complete though than Wilder, it could be even worse

    Wilder might be faster but they have similarities in that they both just try to knock out their opponents. And usually they don't even try to set it up, they just look for one shot.

    I'm not saying Wilder can't KO Fury because he absolutely can but I can see a schooling by Fury if Wilder isn't able to land that shot.

    He's going to gas Fury, even if he is Boxing his head off Wilder will be fitter guaranteed. I cant see him not getting caught tbh Tyson.

    More of a chance it represents Saunders vs Andrade, as that scenario happened a couple of times with Wilder already.

    Lemieux is better than Wilder, everyone at middleweight is, the difference in skill level is immense.

    On the other hand, Lemieux has short reach while Wilder has long reach

    He got that range on the majority that he boxes and it keeps his flaws from being truly exposed. He's fit, he can move, very rangy with legit one shot power, but fundamentally probably the worst current champ at any weight in Boxing
