I think these guys cannot be underestimated just because they have a short time to prepare for their fight. we are talking about the current best heavyweights boxers in the world. I'm sure they will find themselves well prepared when the appointed date comes. I remember when UFC fighters have only 1 week to prepare for their rematch and they still give us the best historical fight that we've ever seen.

1 month till the fight, and according to Fury Instagram, he is still having his last day at home due to lockdown. It is possible to prepare for a fight in 1 month ?

Your prediction, will Wilder wear something during his walkout, or this time he doesn't plan to get tired before the fight ?

I would not be surprised if Fury does knock Wilder out cold within 5 rounds. If Wilder manages to throw several of those right hands but they do not connect with the Fury chin or if they have little or no impact then what effect will it have on the Wilder mindset?

In the course of the re-match several rounds in, if Wilder consider his biggest threat (his right hand swing) being null and void or totally ineffective against Fury then how will that shape his attitude to the remainder of the fight?

And yes, if his right hand/wrist/arm has not healed then he should not go in to the re-match until he is fully fit and ready but there is plenty of time for him to recover before he steps in to the ring.

This is one of the biggest fights this year, I don't think it will not be realize, it's given that they can't collect from gate entrance as there's no crowd allowed under the corona virus protocol implemented by the government but there's another option to make money, and that is through live pay per view.

Biggest PPV in the sport of boxing is the Mayweather vs Pacquiao  fight, according to this,  Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao has  4.6 million PPV buys, so if they can hit that and we will translate that in USD value, I think they would generate at least $100 million from that.

It will heal on time. He has a team behind, and sports medicine has been advancing for many years now. And with so much money, he can hire top rate specialist to help him in his recovery. So the fight is still on I will assume and he will be 100% when their is a final date already. And this time, if ever he losses again, there should be no excuse.

Will this injury would not heal? As what I can read in this article, Wilder was open about his article and there is a healing time, so if he fight against Fury, I'm expecting that he has fully recover from that injury.

He should retire.

He's actually taken quite a few injuries in recent years, busted his hand several times and ripped his bicep just recently. He's not in tip top shape anymore, I doubt he can even throw his right hand anymore like he should do, considering that he literally damages his own body when he his people.

Fury will probably mop the floor with him in 3 rounds next time. If it goes on longer, then it will only be because Fury wants to entertain the crowd some more.

How can you be aggressive when you know that your hand is completely rekt?

and this match might not happen as the promoters are thinking that they will be at huge loss if they will push thru this event. bottomline in boxing is money after all. so if the promoters will not gain, i dont think they will gonna make it happen!

Wilder is not going to retire, that's my prediction, and I even think that it will be hard for Fury to beat Wilder in the 3rd time, Wilder is also thinking of his future so it's going to be a slug·fest and we will like to see that as it's not a boring fight. We won't see the same Wilder, what we are going to see is a Wilder that is very aggressive in beating his opponent and I believe that will put pressure on Fury as he can't use his length advantage and he will be back on the conversation of the top boxers in the division.

It's really up to the boxer himself on how he will take his defeat and move and fight another day. Another good case is Ricky Hatton, when Pacquiao beat his ass, he was never been the same. In fact, news surface that we went into depression after that loss, doing drugs and stuff and he never fight again. The scar the fight put on him mentally was too much to handle for him. Maybe he generated so much money throughout his career that's why he chooses not stay out. However, he admitted it after many years that it was really devastated on him psychologically. So we will see what happens to Wilder if he is defeated in the trilogy.

I partly agree with you. I do think that Fury wil win again and Wilder his reputation will be a bit damaged but we may not forget that he won his first 41 fights with knockout. Wilder will be popular enough to still draw huge crowds.

The loss of Joshua against Ruiz, had a larger impact on the reputation of Joshua.

Agree with that, as long as there are still fans who watch the fight either from the side of such boxer or on his opponent then he can still fight and make money, everything is really up to the promoter as selling the fight is difficult if as a boxer you don't have a good fan base anymore.

Boxing is business and every boxer do knows that but we cant really deny if we do talk about that pride part when losing into an opponent.
Of course we do like to have that flawless record to make it more appealing.There are even indeed boxers who do still fight nowadays in spite of
its age. A few loss wont really be a valid reason for a boxer to quit or retire into its career.Its just a dumb presumption.

Fury is confident that he will defeat Wilder and he is taking it seriously as he really understands that a simple mistake could end a fight in the heavyweight division and spending money to step away will give Wilder more power while negotiating the pay scale at a later time and with the current contract Fury will earn the bigger pay.

Most of the part any boxer who losses for the first time will not take it very well especially in the heavyweight division because the main strength of Wilder was his intimidating factor and once that is gone then no one would be that worried and will try to replicate the blue print they have and the interesting part is whether Wilder can change and sharpen his style. Even i believe that Wilder could defeat many heavyweights but another loss could damage his reputation and that will impact in pulling a huge crowd.

I don't think so, I've seen a lot of fighters who are beaten many times already but they are still fighting, of course if Wilder will lose, although he lose twice but it's just from one fighter only, and he can still fight another boxer that could still generate money for him. Boxing is more on because of money, not because of ego, or whatsoever, these guys are living a different lifestyle than the normal people, so they need money for that which they can only get when they will keep fighting. Wilder at 34 years, he still have a lot of fights left even if he lose against Fury.

The rest of your statement, I agree with it.

Going by what general consensus shows, Joshua will beat Pulev and Fury will beat Wilder. Pulev is probably going to never fight professionally again as his age will probably not allow it and Wilder will probably not fight again if he gets beaten by Fury again because his ego will not allow him to risk a third defeat.

Fury vs Joshua with a re-match clause included will make a blockbuster fight. Providing Fury beats Wilder and if Joshua beats Pulev it will pave the way for Fury with his WBC belt and Joshua with his IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO belts is the fight all heavyweight boxing fans want to watch.

If the Fury-Joshua fight goes ahead, I think Fury will win both the initial fight and the re-match both by a clean knock out 10 second count by being flat-out on his back or TKO by virtue of the referee stopping the fight.

After that, Fury should simply retire and enjoy the multi-millions that he would have made from his career.

I guess it's just opinion really but people usually have biases. I was watching it with three people and two of us agreed with the draw and one thought it was a clear Fury win, though obviously none of us are judges and were actually scoring the fight accurately. It's not uncommon for fans to disagree with the result either but I always dislike it when fights go to decisions. Sometimes I wish they'd just carry on fighting until someone goes down but that's probably dangerous  . Hopefully Fury does win as a fourth fight between them and potentially even more if they keep having rematch clauses will become tedious and delay bigger more interesting fights like the AJ one. However, if AJ loses we could go though the whole rematch thing again and that would also likely diminish AJ's stock and potential interest in the Fury fight.

There are a lot of scenarios here, too many that is hard to lay down them specially if Fury losses to Wilder or if AJ will be upset by Pulev. Lots of "if" scenario.

That's why I said that Fury shouldn't get and over confident and should focus first on the fight on the table. And if he perform half of the bargain, then we will see the biggest heavyweight fight in UK history and be a record, eclipsing Tyson vs Holyfield rematch as far as PPV numbers.

I like Fury's attitude, and depending on your outlook you could agree with him that hes already beaten Wilder twice. Yeah, it was given as a draw, but I for one was not shocked by the result, but knew that Fury had to do something big in that first fight to actually win it. I think its commonly known that home advantage is a thing, as it is humans judging at the end of the day, and bias will, and does creep in.

If Wilder didn't get that huge knockdown on Fury, I had him winning pretty much every single round, and in fact I think after the knockdown he even came out, and dominated for the rest of the match. I personally don't think one 10 round from Wilder would have caught up to the sheer amount of dominance that Fury displayed. Of course, the second fight he came in all guns blazing, and it pulled off.

The worst thing that can happen for boxing fans right now is for Fury to lose his belts, and the Joshua fight isn't as hyped up. Yeah, its still a huge fight, but ideally I would like to see both men entering that ring with their belts, and battle it out for the others. It will add to the atmosphere that this occasion will deserve.

Wilder wont step aside because this is his quickest route to getting back into the bigger fights. If he beats fury, and there is a possibility of that with his dynamite right hand he opens the pathway of more money because Joshua, and him surely have to face off then. I'm a massive Fury fan, and its just going to be a nearly occasion due to the fact in my head he's already proven hes a better fighter twice.
