I think the fitter heavyweights are the better. If he's just 10lb lighter than last time he'll be bang on the Wlad weight. He'll have 30lb on Wilder regardless.

Its the speed hes lost the timber that worries me (Stamina) as i think he can only beat Wilder on points.

I read yesterday that he's lost the equivalent to a prime fighting Ricky Hatton in the last year alone - crazy but true 😂

Fury looks a bit adrift there as video goes . Eventually people see a gaggle of 15+ strangers and cameras and instinctively go the other direction. He sounds haggard but no doubt he put as much if not more in drumming up a fight than Wilder has.

[Fenster]

Yeah if he hadn't had two fights in the past 5 months losing a Hatton (140lb) would have been suicidal.

He said yesterday he's 257, I thought he looked fitter than that, and hope he's lying, as he didn't look too nimble last time weighing that.

Mike Tyson on Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury fight:

"Although Wilder's punch is strong, nothing can compare to the mental strength Fury has shown both in and out of the ring. It'll be a close call, but I think Fury's got a true fighting chance."

Mental strength out of the ring? I guess Mike's definition of mental strength is different than mine.

You probably have not had the kind of life Mike Tyson has had. The man has mental strength. A weaker person would be dead already with the kind of childhood Tyson had, but Tyson has made a life outside of boxing, grew as a person, has his faculties, and faced his demons. He has mental strength. I think he has turned out just fine all things considered.

I must admit that I am getting uneasy about this fight. If Fury can frustrate and spoil as I am sure he will then this could get awkward for Wilder. Then again if Wilder is going to use his athleticism and unleash from unusual angles it is Fury in trouble. It's a great match up and I do not mind the under card either. It has some names looking to stay busy and fair enough I say.
