Don't see how wilder makes a good sparring partner, he's not as good technically as fury but is big. This must be haye checking him out for future.

I think its safe to say that he wasn't motivated by money.... Or at least not the short term return of getting paid as a sparing partner.

Fair enough; I agree. I do think he may be looking at Haye as a potential opponent this time, whereas in 2010 that was so far off that he probably wanted nothing more than the experience in the ring with a world class fighter.

That's true, I can't find Wlad speaking about Deontay anywhere. But there were plenty of pictures of them together in the gym, so while Wilder may have exaggerated the quotes, it seems probable that Wlad had chosen him as his head sparring partner.

Im pretty sure I read that Wlad dropped Wilder in sparring.

I wouldn't be surprised at all. I don't think Wilder would beat him now, and it was a blatant mismatch then. However, he has great size, speed, and power. I think he has a lot of potential and the best right hand in the business.

Wilder the tranny basher.

This is absolutely true, but what a cuss on Wilder! Fury can't box a lick, and the sum total of skill he's showed so far was realising he could lean on Cunningham til he fell over. Nevertheless, Wilder is even less good; he probably boxes a bit better from range, though he's got to stop hanging the left out like a tentacle, but my God, the chaos when he attacks!

Who'll be throwing him out? You palooka?

It is possible to imitate a fighter. Obviously Wach won't do everything that Tyson can do to the same level but he can imitate what he does do. Its not as if Tyson is unique and brings something way out of the norm to the ring is it?
Wach can spend round upon round leaning all over Haye and making it uncomfortable etc

He'll be bringing his "fighting genes", or is it "jeans"?

I hope Haye doesn't spare Fury in the ring on fight night.
