    Wilder in the 9th/10th I reckon, bit too soon for Fury imo which is a shame as at top form I think he'd beat Wilder.

    I expect Fury to win. He’s by far the better boxer and has the lad wound up nicely pre-fight.

    Wilder doesn’t get in the right with top fighters for a reason, he will get frustrated in that ring looking for a big hammer and end up losing his head when he finds himself 3 or 4 points down.

    Which is how I think he'll take Wilder. No one on here seems to rate Wilder as a boxer.

    Or is there?

    In fairness many have swerved Wilder because he’s way too dangerous, see Eddie Hearn for details.

    I can see why AJ won’t give him the fight if Wilder wants a 50/50 purse.

    Wilder is just looking for paydays now, the Fury fight makes sense for both fighters, Fury proves he’s back and Wilder gets a decent cut. AJ brings at least £25m to any top fight now, Wilder is probably pulling £1m tops out of fights. This will be his biggest chop.

    Nobody is scared of Wilder as a fighter. Dubois would get in the ring with him at the drop of a hat if Fury got injured.

    My opinion is that Hearn didn’t want the fight at this point, and made sure it didn’t happen. Wilder could derail the AJ gravy train, as he’s extremely dangerous. If he wins at the weekend then the clamour for the match up will be massive.

    Win-Win for Hearn either way now.

    Fury fan personally.

    He's not a knock out merchant like the other two but his boxing skills and movement are excellent for a heavyweight.

    He's a really good technical boxer which is tough for a lot of casuals to understand.

    He's also really entertaining and surprisingly intelligent.

    Be interesting to see who the crowd backs if a Fury v AJ fight happened in Manchester.

    I agree, but I think he’s a bell end personally.

    I cant understand the Fury hatred. Hes british ffs why the feck would anyone want a yank to beat him? Same as the Klitschko fight when he won an easy points decision, people from his own country wanted him to fail????
    Hes unbeaten for a reason. Hes a big awkward lump of a man with a huge reach that can twist and turn well for his size and is a naturally gifted boxer. Feck the haters!!

  15. I find him hugely irritating - but credit to him for coming through a really bad time and getting back to the shape where he's ready for a fight like this. That couldn't have been easy by any stretch of the imagination.

    Having said all that I want Wilder to win as that's the fight I want for Joshua. They're boxers so I don't go by their nationality though get entirely why others do.

    Fury to spark Wilder to setup and big British match between two undefeated fighters. Hopefully, AJ teaches the gypsy some respect

    Not really sure, i've seen more of wilder than fury. So on that basis if the brit ain't on his game, he's going on his arse, but he's a ****ing massive unit, and is obviously talented. So hopefully boxing is the winner.

    That's my plan - all I want is a good fight that hopefully will mean there is no rematch and AJ will fight the winner.

    I am however expecting Fury to spend the whole fight leaning on Wilder while he tries to make space to throw haymakers and a dodgy decision deciding the fight.
