He is the ultimate one punch knock out artist. I'm not sure we'll see his like again.
And he is the most googled boxer in the world!
I'll be honest I don't rate Wilder's resume at all, and I mean at all. And the avoidance of Whyte for however long really doesn't sit well with me either. But if he beats Fury he genuinely deserves the plaudits.Thomastearns wrote: ↑16 Feb 2020, 11:50Yes, he's always been underated. You should have seen the abuse he was shipping here on this very forum!
Yet, gradually ever so gradually he's won more and more fans over, a bit like GGG, and now is seen as heavyweight no 1 by many. No one is calling him a mere slugger now are they?
If he can catch Fury, he can catch anyone. I'm pretty sure the Fury camp don't want to risk replaying the first fight again, that was just too close to oblivion for them.
Hence the reason for them gambling on the Davidson exit in favour of Sugar Hill.
Like Golovkin though, his age (34) means he doesn't have very long left at his peak. The Fury camp are banking on Wilder not being any better than he was in Dec 2018.
We'll soon find out if they're right.
whom ffs did he knock out clean with one punch? szplika jumped chin first into his fist, breazale, who elseFinkel wrote: ↑16 Feb 2020, 10:12To be fair, joking aside. He is pretty iconic.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑16 Feb 2020, 04:33 And he apparently defied those odds to become an iconic boxer

Posters saying that Fury's 273 lbs is all muscle growth. All I know is that I put bets down after the weigh in on Wilder by KO.
Fury looks in great shape. This isn't a Ruiz situation.
I don't know that its muscle growth entirely, but it does point to the fact that he's probably not just talking when he says he intends to engage Wilder more, and attempt to knock him out.
I think his plan will be to work inside too but I'm not sure Bayliss will let himgilgamesh wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 04:53I don't know that its muscle growth entirely, but it does point to the fact that he's probably not just talking when he says he intends to engage Wilder more, and attempt to knock him out.
It's probably a crazy idea.
His logic in thinking Wilder could be beaten this way is sound, I just don't know if HE'S the guy to beat him this way.
Muffling a puncher's big shots can work though. Ask Vince Phillips and Ricky Hatton how it worked out against Tszyu. Sometimes getting inside, and not giving them room to punch is the ticket more so than avoiding them which convential wisdom suggests you should do.
If Fury insists on trying to engage in a firefight I'm not sure if he'll be successful or not, but I'm certain of one thing. We'll have a far better fight than we had the first time.
So I sure hope he is 100% sincere in his intention to come right out and "knock out Wilder in the 2nd round"
Fury sincere? Kind of an oxymoron. Fury claims publicly about his masterbation to increase testosterone, eating pootang to strengthen his jaw muscles, knocked every sparring partner he had out cold, etc. He is a clown, and the extra weight will make him less mobile, and tire quicker if he is more active like he claims.gilgamesh wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 04:53I don't know that its muscle growth entirely, but it does point to the fact that he's probably not just talking when he says he intends to engage Wilder more, and attempt to knock him out.

He'll have his trunks hiked up to his nipple line no doubt too to cover his extra flab. Fury will have his moments, but the only way I see him winning the fight is if he gets cut and it is stopped when it is legal he can win if ahead on the cards.

I don't think Bayless would stop him. The only time I remember Bayless being a factor in a fight was Mayweather-Maidana 2 where he separated 'em every time they got close. You can do that with a B fighter that doesn't have any major promotional backing. I doubt you could do that with a guy like Tyson Fury, and not catch hell.ewenhay wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 05:17I think his plan will be to work inside too but I'm not sure Bayliss will let himgilgamesh wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 04:53

I didn't want to mention that but I thought it. Masterbate and eat some Mexican beef to raise his T levels.
