Don’t count Wilder out yet. One bad performance he could beat Fury next time out. I'd be surprised. Wilder at his best couldn't beat Fury who arguably wasn't quite ready when they first fought in 2018. Fury was at his best for the rematch and completely dominated Wilder and Deontay hasn't stopped m...

DrDuke wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 13:18 Of course, Wilder will tell to the media, that he wants the 3rd bout, but it's definitely not in his team's plans and he understands himself well, how it will end.

It will end with nice fat purse for both.

As to result, who knows! It’s HW, one good punch and it’s over...

This has nothing to do with it. You know how few Blacks enter the NFL & NBA every year to become starters or even second team back ups? Maybe 50, a year. 99.999999% chance that none of them had the talent to be heavyweight champion but decided on Football or basketball instead This has everythi...

This has everything to do with it. A brief history of 20th century American sports is in order here. In the mid 20th century, football and basketball salaries were substantially lower. Perhaps 99% lower. At the same time boxing gyms blanketed American cities. The Foremans of today would be drawn to...

This is a really old out-dated discussion, since the derogatory American term “Great White Hope” hasn’t been relevant for almost thirty years, which is due to a variety of reasons: • Less poverty and racism in America, leading to equal opportunities in all vocations. People from a variety of demogr...

Ortiz (age 43) was beaten by KO by Wilder #3 twice, yet is ranked @4 Ruiz Jr. (Age 30) former champion who beat Joshua #1, was beat on points by Joshua #1 and close loss to Parker #7, ranked @5 Povetkin (age 40) former champion who was KO'd by Joshua #1 and prime Klitschko, ranked @6 Parker (age 28...

AJ will not get near Ruiz, Hearn will not let him-)
AJ will KO punchless guys in the near future (Pulev, Usik)...and maybe, in 3-4 years from now, Wilder...when aged enough-(((

I think wilder ko’s him this time. 24 rounds is a long time for anyone to be in a ring with wilder. No doubt fury will clown him, make him miss and look bad for a lot of rounds but wilder doesn’t care... he just wants the KO. Probably more hunch than anything else but wilders a bit of a freak and h...

Yeh, they need to announce the 2 fights ASAP. You feel Wilder-Fury rematch isn’t reason alone to purchase the PPV? I'll buy it, it's going to lose money either way so I never expected much. The first fight sucked, gotta expect this to be better. That’s Fury style that stinks the joint...hope Wilder...

Not a bad shout but I believe Usyk will be the main man in the end. AJ and Wilder are knockouts waiting to happen.

And Usik is the man to KO Wilder??? Be serious-)

If AJ thinking about legacy and how he'll be remembered, and not only about money - he need third fight!
Actually he need KO in third fight.

On the other hand, Hearn will do everything to avoid it....

I don't think so, and even if he is, a fight between Fury and either of them isn't as exciting as Wilder vs AJ

I'd rather watch Wilder vs AJ at least 5 times than Fury vs either of them.

Totally agree.
Fury is very boring (I mean boxing)...

Tbh Andy is still the BIG WINNER. He made history by becoming the first mexican HW champion. He whooped AJ in the first match. He showed that boxing is more about skills and heart than looking like a greek god sculpture. And most of all is that Andy proved that he's a far more dangerous player in t...

Looked like Povetkin-Huck fight, actually-) And Povetkin went to wrong corner at the end of one of the late rounds...like he did at that fight 15y ago-;) Still it was a better performance than vs Huck. There I gave Huck the edge, now I give it to Povetkin. I think Pov lost both, but scorecards are ...

Best HW card I remember, and I'm over 50yo-)

Unfortunatelly, Povetkin is not as wealthy as he suppose to be, due to his bad investments (with his brother and alone). Actually, as it was rumored in Russian forums, most of his last paychecks went to his creditors. So, he need some more paychecks, and he’ll take any fight with good money... Didn...

Povetkin is wealthy past-his-prime fighter in his forties that is ready-for-the-taking. And I suspect the fine performance he delivered against AJ was his last hurrah. So Michael Hunter has got an excellent chance to out-work and outpoint the heavy-handed Russian. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Po...

Tyson Fury has two fights remaining of his contract with ESPN/Top Rank, which ‘The Gypsy King’ claims is compelling him to compete exclusively on US shores and by his own admission ruling out any potential AJ bout. Deontay Wilder will almost certainly have an immediate rematch clause included in hi...

Hope he wins, btw.

If AJ will win, Eddie will not allow him in the same city with Wilder, until Wilder will way pass 40-(((

Who didn’t KO Price with single punch?-)))

And it was two punches...

Povetkin never won by single punch KO.
And Wach wasn’t even KOed...the ref stopped this sparring session with Wach standing to give Povetkon KO in resume-)
