so wilder proved himself at top level, AJ
did as well. they are both now battled
and seasoned champions.

time to bring it on. don't turn another
floyd-manny on the boxing world.

Wilder had his chance to take the fight this year. Next year Joshua will have to take on his mandatories, first probably Pulev and than Usyk.

would be a great fight

but if Fury wins i'd prefer AJ to have a shot at the world title first

Completely agree. It’s the fight that needs to be made. Who is the better out of the two?

No. Fury-Wilder and Joshua-Usyk first. Then the winners for the undisputed championship.

Fury matters.

You may want to rethink this thread just in case judges in Wilder-Fury fight are even remotely fair.

Well fury is better than both so i disagree

That's right.

Wilder stops this insecure version of Joshua.

He will stop Fury in February.

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.

No reason to believe they're still fighting in February.

ok so maybe march or april or whenver ..

Why would a February date not work? There is no reason why it won't work.

Judges wont be necessary this time, like with Stiverne Wilder will make adjustments, Fury is a LOT better than Stiverne, Nevertheless Wilder will catch him earlier than the 12th round this time and Wilder will finish him.

That's possible.

It's also possible to imagine a focused, dedicated version of Fury which uses superior footwork to keep Wilder at distance and reach a straightforward UD. I can't really see any correlation with Stiverne; Fury isn't only miles better, he is also much more adaptable himself. That's what makes this an interesting fight.

Point is, until we actually get the winner of this fight, there is little to no use hyping up Wilder-AJ. I' much prefer AJ fighting the winner.

hhaha what a stupid comparison. The only adjustment made that fight was by Stiverne, who adjusted himself in to a human punch bag

Can you imagine how big a fight between AJ and Fury would be in UK ? Not sure it’s as big as Bruno v Lewis but it’s close

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

Two weeks ago Bob Arum told ESPN (Dan Rafael) that the Wilder-Fury rematch is set for February 22nd 2020, with the bout staged at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This was also verified by Fṙḁṅḱ Ẁḁṙṙḛṅ and Wilder himself commented on the February fight-date during the Ortiz post-fight press conference.

From a spectacle point of view Wilder vs Joshua is THE biggest attraction for the sport. Two huge punchers, blink and you'll miss it. Definitely the one to get the casuals excited.

This was probably the only fight that really would have mattered 18 months back when Fury was in his hiatus, but they fact he rose from the dead and really beat Wilder means he is of course a key player. But his style isn't so pleasing as the two bangers.

Usyk in the mix adds some excitement, but beyond those 4 the division is weak and really these 4 should only be interested in fighting each other at this point.

For me, with the possible exception of Tyson Fury against either one, nothing else matters, although I do admit to being intrigued by Oleksandr Usyk being added to the HW mix.

I think Fury will be the last man standing at the end.... IF the necessary fights are made....
