Uysk won’t last with Fury, he is too small and will get pushed around. AJ has no hope of beating Fury would only fight for the purse. Basically Fury is a beast of a man, 6ft 9 in and 20st, who can box and move. Wilder had the best chance of beating him out of current heavyweights, by landing a couple of his right hand bombs, nearly did it in the 4th round. Reports now say Wilder broke his hand during the fight. sounds like he's been hitting something really hard Edited by Forest Hillbilly (13 Oct 2021 8.22am)

I've heard the contention put forward that Wilder is finished after the amount of punishment he took in this fight. In fact I remembered much the same being said after the second fight. Personally I very much doubt it. Some fighters take far too much punishment and it wears down their punch resistance, however those fighters are usually in regular wars every few months....like Ted Cheeseman for example.....and it's something we might be seeing with Whyte....If you take proper punishment in a fight then a proper break and recovery matters....hard fight after hard fight adds up. Wilder has had two hard fights in two years so I wouldn't say he's finished especially as before Fury he hadn't really had a punishing fight. I say that in the knowledge that a small minority of fighters can take regular hard fights or say fight for two decades and not really show any negative effects.....The Henry Cooper type. But for most taking regular punches to the head comes with a relatively short shelve life unless it's carefully managed.

I have to agree and see Wilder as having a very good chance (in fact likely being favourite to win) against any other heavyweight fighter. As such it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he'll quickly rebuild his confidence and reputation. If he does so quick enough, and if Fury has jacked it in by then, Wilder could find himself top of the pile again. That's all if he chooses not be retired himself of course, but he is one of the most exciting fighters to watch, from a power punch perspective at least.

Wilder could be the Earnie Shavers of this generation. Huge puncher who’s always in with a chance against better opponents but is liable liable to get picked apart if he doesn’t knock them out.

Definitely. I do feel that for all intents and purposes he made the Fury fights the spectacles that they were. Edge of your seat stuff and to have knocked a fighter down four times over three fights and not got the win... well whatever people think of his attitude he's clearly brave and a warrior in the ring. Tyson has little more to prove now, so I'd rather like the backdrop of seeing if Wilder can take out the other big names and get back on track.

Well done to Riakporhe tonight. A Palace fan and a good prospect who has come from a bad place to box at a high level.

You have to be well ranked to get a title shot in any division. Agree he didn’t look to clever last night. But there isn’t really anyone else to step up to apart from one of the champions.

I'm not usually one for these Youtuber fights, but would laugh if Tommy Fury somehow lost his upcoming fight. Sure he looks the part and is from a boxing family but he's never fought anyone even half decent and is as much the celebrity of the lot than a fighter.
