    It appears you already have an excuse when Fury loses to Wilder :D

    It's hardly an excuse. He looked far from an elite fighter against Seferi and Pianeta. Anyone who's excited or thinks it's a good fight based on the form Fury shown in his two return fights(after 2+ years of morbid obesity, binge drinking and drug use) is delusional.

    He looked similar to how he looked against Christian Hammer in his last fight before Wlad.

    Evander Holyfield ‘looked far from an elite fighter’ against Bobby Czyz, a blown-up middleweight. Next fight out he KO’d a guy named Mike Tyson.

    What I saw from Fury vs. Pianeta (as opposed to Seferi, which was a farce) was a guy in really good 10-round shape who still has his legs and reflexes. Kind of knocked off rust round after round and put together good combos to the body and head more and more as the fight went on ... he needed rounds and saw to it that he got them.

    Czyz was a decent fighter, much better than Seferi and Pianeta... Holyfield also wasn't coming off a 2+ year food, drink and coke binge. Also Fury look far better against Hammer.... He completely peppered and schooled him - made him quit. Pianeta never came close to quitting and arguably took a round or two(this is the same Pianete who was recently stopped by Kevin Johnson of all people)

    Please give me a list of Bobby Czyz’s best heavyweight wins.

    He was, indeed, a decent fighter. At middleweight. Super middleweight. To some degree, even at light heavyweight. He was NOT a heavyweight and you know it.

    Cycz was also titlist at CW(even if it was questionable), that's more than Seferi also a blown up fighter and Pianeta can say for their careers.

    Ali was off for 3 1/2 years...

    At this time, exiled former champion Muhammad Ali had successfully sued to win the right to return as a professional boxer. Ali approached every one of the ten ranked heavyweights then for a match. Quarry was the only one willing to face him, and so got the nod for the first bout against Ali in his return. The bout received tremendous publicity and arguably remains today as Quarry's most famous bout.[7] The bout took place at the City Auditorium in Atlanta, Georgia on October 26, 1970. Ali dominated the first two rounds, moving well and scoring with his left jab and combinations. Quarry was able to land only a handful of punches, most of them glancing blows. In the third round, Quarry was badly cut by a right hand over his left eye following an exchange with Ali. Trainer Teddy Bentham, a veteran cut man, realized the cut was too severe for Quarry to continue, even though he argued to continue. Referee Tony Perez waved the bout over before the start of the 4th round, which was ruled a 3rd round technical KO. Quarry disputed the decision and demanded a rematch against Ali, which he would later receive.[8]

    What point are you trying to make? Ali didn't have to lose 100 lbs. No matter how hard you try, there isn't an example what What Tyson is doing in the history books you can use to criticize him.

    Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey had long layoffs during their title reigns.

    Wilder needs to think of strategies to check mate Fury and his moves.
    Pull out first.

    would be just another of Fury's nearly two handful of ducks.
