Wilder v Fury - Deal almost done for December

[Master]

Can Fury get at least 2 fights in before the Wilder fight?

If so, then make it in December.

Fury just needs more real rounds. He's too mobile and crafty for Wilder as has been mentioned before.

Unless Wilder clocks Firy, he'll get frustrated and begin to be demoralised by 4 rounds.

They would not allow Fury to fight another time. Fury will have to work hard to get fighting fit and seasoned. Quality sparring will help him get off the ring rust but psychologically he will know he has not prepared for a hard fight. Fury must try to get Wilder's head and play mind games with him to slow him down.

Lennox Lewis blames Hearn

Lennox Lewis spells out in clear, unequivocal terms what Anthony Joshua has to do if he really wants to succeed him as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

He tells Joshua: 'Go order Eddie Hearn to make the fight with Deontay Wilder. Now is the moment when you must take charge of your own destiny.'

Lewis is no doubt that it is the British end of the infamously prolonged negotiations which is sabotaging the heavyweight fight of the decade.

Lewis is a fellow Brit, yet he pulls no punches in his criticism of how AJ and team handled the Wilder fight negotiations. Very telling indeed....

No matter who you blame (AJ or Wilder), it's clear that AJ's reputation for taking on all comers took a gigantic hit. If he really wanted Wilder, the deal would've gotten done.

Now in comes Fury and upstages AJ, making AJ look even more like a chump. Fury of course also being a fellow Brit who comes in and says..... "AJ doesn't want any part of this? Hell..... I'll take it."

I don't like Fury too much, but you gotta respect him for that.

Reminiscent of how Tyson suddenly got a shot at Klitchscko and beat the odds, he could do it again.

It could end up being as wide in class as Calzaghe vs Lacy.

At the risk of being boring, I repeat Wilder is terminally fucking useless and any of the top ten Euros beat him, if an out of condition Fury does it point doubly proven. Don't kid yourself that this division, or its promoters have anything to do with fair and competitive matchmaking. Its all on the money, Warren will offer a rematch with Fury or Chis in the contract, so nutjob Wilder gets two reasonably big fights, also gets wiped out of the now Euro dominated hierarchy which Hearn/Warren/Sauerland control.

I don’t know what Wilder did to you to make you think so low of him. Did he kidnap your wife and children?

Ha Ha, I just watched some videos, total hype job in my view, which again is not unusual in this game, remember Gerry Cooney?

not really though , is he? I wouldn’t put much kudos in the “fellow Brit “ theory as far as this goes.

Yeah... I know the whole Canada thing but, I'd rather not argue with BoxRec.
