Wilder v Fury - Deal almost done for December

[Mark TKO]

I'm late to this so not read the full thread but this December too soon for Fury surely - like at least a year too soon.

If he takes it it suggests to me one of two things...

i) he's cashing in for a 10 million + pay day retirement plan and conning us all he wants to get back to the top. He could blame the defeat on it being too soon and then cash in more with an AJ fight next year too...

or

ii) he's actually fooling us all and is in awesome shape and back to his best already despite ring rust !


If this December I favour it 80-20 Wilder.

Rather he took Bellew in December

Either way Fury will sell it for sure

[TitoFan]

If those are my only two choices........ "I'll take (i) for $500, Alex"

Seriously.... if he loses to Wilder, blames it on coming back too soon, and STILL cons fans into a mega-payday against AJ........

Well, you know what they say about a fool and his money.

If the fight was to happen and Fury did win would it be seen as an amazing feat for someone who has only fought 2 bums in 3 years or would people say Wilder was exposed?

Wilder seems 100% it's a goer...

“It could be wrapped up next week,” Wilder said. “Or it could be wrapped up [Friday]. We’re that close. This has been the easiest negotiation I’ve ever been in, dealing with a fight of this magnitude. That just lets you know this fight will happen. I don’t see nothing that will stop this fight from happening, nothing at all.”

If this does happen and Fury manages to pull off a win it'll be a fucking masterstroke in the art of gatecrashing the party.
Wilder is supposedly doing the commentary for BT Sports at the Frampton/Fury night so maybe we'll get an announcement Then?

I like this fight stylewise too so fingers crossed we get it. 😎

[Mark TKO]

Certainly want it but with a fit Fury.

I'm realising how big a Tyson Fury fan I actually am after initially thinking he was a knob a few years back. Everything is tongue in cheek and extremely talented - oh and fucking huge too !

Hope he cleans up

[Beanz]

I think with Wilder you need to hit him hard and early. Not sold on Fury's power and composure to do that. He did brilliantly sticking to a master plan with Wlad but I think AJ irons out Wilder early doors, where Fury makes it dangerous the longer he drags it out. He is not in the kind of shape mentally to be disciplined for 12 rounds at the moment IMO.

I'll have a go at that one too, since I'm answering all Fury-related questions.


Answer is "B", Wilder was exposed.


To expand. If Wilder loses to a "fat fuck" (someone else's description but I like it) with two laughable tuneups "fights" (quotation marks for a reason) after imploding following his horrific win over Wladimir Klitschko and falling off the cliff of professional boxing....................... YEAH............... I'd say with pretty much certainty it was that Wilder was exposed.

If Fury pulled this off then you do have to give him some credit, and it was me that called him that.

Very little, and I've seen it said by others too.

But on the flipside of that if a big fat fuck with only 2 easy tune up fights coming off a 3 year drink, drug and depression problem, losing 7 stone along the way does beat Wilder on US soil, does that not make him an excellent fighter?
I think Wilder is too fast and athletic to not land some massive right hands on Fury at times and Fury ain't exactly a hard hitter who's power makes an opponent think twice about attacking him, it's his freakish height, reach and slippery awkward style that gets him results.
Furys chin is still a bit suspect when it boils down to it and if Wilder is able to land his right hand Furys in trouble.
It's a great mix of fucked up wild styles that intruiges me as a fan.

I don't think that makes him an excellent fighter, just like his win over Wlad I didn't think meant Fury was an excellent fighter either. Awkward, yes. Wily, yes. Savvy, yes. Fury beat Wlad by getting into his head (not that Wlad needed much help on that..... he had been "Timid Wlad" for over a decade, thanks to Emmanuel Steward's Bambi defense coaching). But back to Wilder. Wilder is fast and athletic... yes. Huge puncher, too. So obviously Fury would get his due credit for doing what AJ is obviously not willing to do..... travel to the U.S. and beating Wilder in his own backyard. But would that make him an excellent fighter? IMO, no. Wilder is fast and athletic, but tremendously RAW. If he was anything close to being a classic boxer with passable boxing skills.... he'd be undefeated until age 50. Nobody would touch him. But couple Wilder's rawness with Fury's awkwardness and savvy..... and you've got a recipe for success, provided Fury doesn't get tagged. I'll agree with your last sentence, though. It IS a great mix of fucked up wild styles.

Maybe not excellent fighter but certainly an exceptional fighter.
