    Tyson won 10 rounds against Wilder, he only lost the rounds he got knocked down and still did not get the decision. That was a ring rusty contender, this time he will comprehensively out box and befuddle Wilder. Fury has shown he can take his right hand and get up.

    There is nothing stopping Fury and provided he does not get careless he will beat Wilder. If Fury could punch harder he would stop Wilder so he will settle for the comprehensive UD.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    "He has only got a right hand, can't really hit with his left at all, came to boxing late, little amateur grounding, laughably clumsy, no skills. Carefully managed against bums on the way up. Heavyweight division is so weak, he can defend against people who wouldn't even be contenders usually"

    No, not Wilder ...... that's what they were saying about Rocky Marciano during his reign

    I actually think that Marciano is overrated. He’s another one of those anomalies. He was hardly a HW and his top wins were all against former light HWs (Charles, Walcott, and Moore).

    Although Marciano did learn to throw his left better later in his career. He also had intangibles that Wilder doesn’t have. Both have great right hands, but Marciano had a granite chin and his toughness brought him to the top as much as his right hand did. I think that if Wilder showed the chin and toughness as Marciano, we would all be more willing to anoint him an elite fighter.

    I got a feeling Fatboxingfan hates Rocky and thinks he was over rated.

    @Fatboxingfan , do you have anything to say about that statement mon ami? because I know how much like you the Rocky Marciano pugilist!
    Yes mon ami I've.

    One Number: those point about "former LHWs" -- is ridicule because Evander Holyfield was also former LHW, so what that's point? Second on that's same point: ALL those guy mentioned (Walcott, Charles, Moore) ALL OUTWEIGHED Marciano, in some cases by 20 pounds (Walcott weighed in at 198 those morning of the fight, but weighed 206 by fight time that night) Marciano weighed in at 184, that's 22 pounds difference! A massive quantite! And 37 years YOUNG Joe Louis -- 37 year!! Why is that old for a Heavyweight? Joe Louis won ALL 7 ROUNDS WITH HIS JAB AND STRAIGHT RIGHT AGAINST MARCIANO, 37 is not old. Foreman fighted until 49. Klitschasko until 41. Hollyfield until 45.

    Two Number:


    Rex Layne (34-1, 23 KOs), Lee Savold (104-35, 40 KOs) and Harry "Kid" Matthews (81-3, 33 KOs) were Top 5 ranked by Ring Magazine in 1951. Two outweighed Marciano by 25 pounds. And were same age as Marciano. Savold, Layne and Matthews nowadays would give ANY heavbyweight fits, fighting off the back foot and lateral movement, and great power and chins. Nobody talking about Rex Layne and Kid Matthews. Here is what that's Marciano did to they:

    SKIP TO 7:30 OF THIS VIDEO, UPDATED HD 16 mm TRANSFER, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, 1952, MATTHEWS FIGHTING LIKE MAX SCHMELING-- Marcinao ALREADY had his left hand working, as you will see from 7:30, not "later in his career" but early on. Watch from 7:30

    Fury barely got by Wallin. I don't think his heart is in the game anymore. I expect Wilder to turn his lights out. I agree with you tho, that if Fury hit harder he could have stopped Wilder in the 1st fight.

    Facing Wilder will mean Fury will bring a lot more focus and determination in his game than he did against Wallin.

    It is amazing what that right hand from Wilder will do to Tyson's concentration levels when they meet again.
