I think Fury's style was more suited to upset Vlad, Wilder isn't going to try and hide behind his jab like Vlad did.

It's a tough call because Wilder hasn't really fought anyone of note, but when he did fight Ortiz he struggled. 

You can't underestimate how awkward Fury is to fight, but I'm not sure he'll land as much as he did against Vlad due to the amount of time he's had out the ring.

A late Wilder KO is my guess. That or a horrendously boring fight, ending in a close victory/draw.

I keep changing my mind on who I think's going to win. I still can't work out how good either of them actually are. Fury's win against Vlad apart (possibly Wilder vs Ortiz to a lesser extent) neither have been truly tested IMO . Wilder certainly has power but technically looks very poor and clumsy every time i've seen him. He can have all the power in the world but if you can't catch someone then the game's a bogey. And Fury is primarily living off one great performance. In fairness to both they can only beat who's in front of them and they've both done what's been asked of them. It's a tough one to predict.

I'm of the same thinking as you but I think wilder will catch him at some point and I can't see fury recovering. Wilder has terrible technique but he's so quick and powerful

I think if Wilder (or most heavyweights for that matter) hit you then it's all over. As clumsy as Wilder is and even though Fury is very elusive, I think it's difficult to stop Wilder hitting you for 12 full rounds. If anyone can make you miss though it's Fury. Wilder could also get overwhelmed by the occasion, get caught up with the crowd and gas himself out by consistently throwing big punches and missing, and what kind of Fury is going to turn up. I think i'll defo go with a Wilder KO or Fury points (not exactly going all out!). Just not decided which way i'll go yet. Not even sure who I want to win. They both annoy me and intrigue my in equal measures!

The thing with Fury is that he’s not a big hitter though.

Joshua can bang and Wilder the same( though unpredictable)

They’d probably be Usyks hardest fights.

David Haye beat a guy like Chisora and Usyk is a far better fighter and has a far better chin.

David Haye was a far bigger puncher than Usyk will ever be.
