Anyone think Fury has any type of chance against Wilder?

If the Fury that beat Klit shows up against Wilder, then yes, he is skilled enough to outbox Wilder through 12.

Bud got the Tims on tho. I still think Errol is gonna be too strong for him but we'll see.

Fury will show flashes of his old self, but he will not be able to sustain it. Being out of the ring for two years and whatever he was going through in his personal life will take it's toll. However ,Wilder is flawed enough for Fury to look good at times.

This is what I believe as well. Wilder better gun for that KO because if Fury takes it to 12 and he will outbox him its a wrap.

Wilder may be the most unskilled champ of all time :lol:

He runs on 100% athleticism and power. Fury will need to space him out, pop and retreat. If it’s a slug fest Wilder and his tornado of punches will eventually connect :lol:

Fury is gonna beat wilder and make it look easy

Let that beef cook.

The game needs this fight.
I need all these welterweights to stop yapping and start fighting.
Thurman, Crawford, Spence, Porter, all of em'.

What we don't need is another Pac/Floyd cash grab.

True. Get these guys fighting each other already and stop the record building BS. People are smart now. 40-0 against people who are 20-7-1 isn’t impressive anymore

I was laughing when Fury kept saying this is a Football player throwing random punches :lol:

Haha not far off honestly. He really does throw all conventional rational out the window and subs in raw athleticism. He’s Like what Kimbo tried to be

Just watched the Jaron Ennis fight, that is a bad boy!

HEATHEN · Nov 17, 2018

I was showing my son the jab/cross to the body/hook up top combo he landed to drop Serrano.

Nice clear example of how a simple level change can be so effective.

As elementary as a lot of the back and forth between Bud and Spence was, I'm here for it.

"You fat!"

:lol:

Xennial · Nov 17, 2018

Those 2 have horrible trash talk games and very little personality

That was my point and while I agree with the trash talk I feel like Bud does have personality.

It's just not overt.

He's got a mean streak I don't see in a lot of fighters.
