Heavyweight Boxing

I don't know how you could come away from that fight thinking Furys conditioning was poor. If anything that fight was a testament to his great stamina - literally like a tailor made fight to showcase his stamina. He was down twice in the 4th, recovered from it and systematically battered Wilder for a couple of rounds. He was literally chasing him around the ring in the 10th round to unload combinations on him - and took some very dangerous shots himself which he easily shrugged off.

It's hard to go all in on Wilder to finish him off because he always has the punchers chance - he has the most lethal right hand in the whole division and needs just one punch to flatten you. He put Fury down twice tonight and he would not only put down but keep down any other fighter in the division, no question. If he tries to go all in on Wilder and doesn't put him down then Wilder can take him out with a counter right. There is no heavyweight that would be able to throw punches straight up with Wilder tonight like Fury did and beat him at his own game. None.

Usyk doesn't have the skill advantage to beat Fury and has all the disadvantages of reach, height, weight. It's a terrible matchup for him. Like even if you hated Fury you would say that the skill is somewhat equal but any level of objectivity and Fury is better technically than Usyk along with all the other advantages. Fury wins easy.

If Whyte beats Wallin (and I actually don't think he will, I have that as a Wallin upset) then Whyte is the mandatory challenger so we will see if Fury is bothered with that fight. If I were him I wouldn't be.

There isn't a real fight out there for Fury. If Joshua decides to fight Wilder (possible) and beats him (very unlikely) then maybe the Fury fight happens but Fury doesn't fight a Joshua just off a loss. Joshua doesn't beat Usyk if he fights him again so that definitely isn't the path to Fury.

Nothing wrong with Fury's conditioning, that's an absurd thing to say IMO

Fury got stronger as the fight went on, Wilder was gassing more and more but still was a punch away from winning himself...but I do agree Fury was sloppy and made it more work than it should of been, but it had nothing to do with his conditioning.

I'm not in anybody's camp but you clearly are in Fury's camp and that's very clear with the following line from your post which I laughed hard at. 'Fury is better technically than Usyk'

I can only assume that you are finding comedy based off the Cunningham fight? That's literally all you've got to 'laugh hard at'

You've come on here, talking about Furys conditioning which was so far off the mark it's hard to believe you watched the fight, or have any understanding of the sport - now you're laughing hard at Fury being technically better than Usyk, as if it's completely preposterous. Please. This has to be a wind up.

Not really. The first round and then the 10 / 7 skewed the cards a bit. Fury was in full control

Fight for the ages I thought one of the best I've seen now at heavyweight.

I thought Fury wasn't at his best but was still good enough and outfaught wilder. Again Wilders best hope of victory was the KO and he nearly got it, not many would have got back up after that. Fury's power of recovery are excellent. Great fight.

Delighted, prick wilder shows his colours once again. Laughable to question fury's conditioning, dont know what fight some people were watching. Also wouldn't be convinced of any heavyweight past or present , besting fury, he would have to be nailed to the canvas.

Mike tyson circa late 80s

Fury wouldn't get a second chance to get up

Mike was too small for many of his opponents.

First I saw of Fury was the first John Mcdermott fight which I thought mcdermot won, apparently Fury wasn't training and just turned up and fought. Amazing how far he's come.

Fury stops AJ with relative ease imo. Not a hope AJ takes heavy shots like Wilder did and continues. Wilder clatters AJ as well I think.

Wilder is getting a lot of flak for putting on weight, but in fairness it probably kept him in there longer than otherwise, given tactic of Tyson tying him up and leaning on him right from the start.

I don’t see Fury being beaten by the current crop of HWs. I assume he’ll fight Whyte next, although Arum will also want to keep building his profile in the US. There’s no urgency in the Joshua fight now, can see that dragging on for another couple of years, especially if Usyk wins his rematch.

Wilder is probably the most interesting fighter in the division. He’s been in some real tear-ups with Fury and Ortiz previously. Very hard to call his chances, but would love to see him fight Joshua, Whyte and Usyk.

Surprised that anyone is questioning Fury's conditioning. He's a 280lb man in a slugfest, getting dropped twice and still bouncing on his toes afterwards. To me he looks like the best conditioned fighter in the division. Usyk the only other guy in the conversation.

Don't agree at all. To say Fury is possibly the best heavyweight in history after one title defence is laughable. Unless you're joking.

He's certainly the best lately
