Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder

[Elroy1]

2 Action HW's meet in a blaze of punches.

Fury has the better record no doubt. He has beaten bigger guys with better records overall and even though Wilder has half again as many fights, Fury has more professional ring time.

Fury is a better technical boxer to look at too. He can punch in combination and definitely is nothing like oafs of old, pretty quick for a 260lber.

But Wilder does have that big power and fast and long delivery, something which Fury can questionably withstand.

I am torn. My opinion is if Fury, who we know can last, stays 4 or 5 rounds he'll wear down the also chinny and gassy Wilder but there is very high chances the long, fast, powerful Wilder will overwhelm and KO the somewhat suspect chinned Fury.

What does GBS think?????

I think Fury decisions him easily tbh

[Weltschmerz]

Interesting match up, very. Right now I would say Wilder by early KO.

[Elroy1]

Yeah it's kind of an iffy one ey, sure you can say Fury decisions him but Wilder's power is real. Fury is not that powerful, more an accumulative hitter.

I wouldn't bet on this fight because I can see a Deonaty smash messing Fury up just as easily too.

Wilder round one,and it isn't that I rate Wilder highly,I don't rate either guy,both have been so carefully matched it is absurd.

Haye was the cash out fight for Fury I believe,yet he may somehow have found a way to box to a points win IMO.

All this face and bravado from Fury is obviously an act of selling his product.he is his own promoter,whereas Wilder promotes himself on actually power.both will come unstuck this year,the end of the road.

Fury avoided Price for good reason.Wilder has avoided fringe contenders for the very same reason Fury has too.zero belief in their own durability.
