I judge him off his totality. He throws punches in an amateur fashion and his defense only looks epic against head hunters.

I don't think he throws punches like an amateur generally. And Wilder has been known to be a headhunter at times. I've never thought Fury's defence was impenetrable, he got knocked down by Cunningham. Fury's good points are his reach, jab (normally), ringmanship, tactics, adaptability, heart, speed for his size, mind games and he's had a pretty good chin too. Not the hardest puncher but if he keeps hitting someone will hurt. His movement for his size makes him a tough opponent, if he boxes properly that causes an issue for most. 1 of his weaknesses is he's not the biggest puncher, if he had Wilder power he'd be almost unstoppable, but cause he doesn't he's beatable, best way to beat him generally is pressure and go for the knockout. Don't let him control the distance. Do think he's 1 of the top current heavyweights though, Wilder has some very good assets and is tough to beat too but most people thought he won that first fight which is an achievement, especially after the lay off. The rematch should be interesting, hope the cut heals well so it can take place.

I agree he's one of the top heavies. And a good boxer, just not great. He's not a "heavy weight crawford" as tim Bradley has stated.
He should not had got hit by the punch that opened that cut either. There was nothing slick about that shot and he got hit flush.

I was legit disgusted by the urgency in Joe's voice when he said that.

I used to hate HBO's bias but this shyt (and DAZN too) is just struggle af, its unlistenable most of the time. I'd take Lampley back in heartbeat.
I miss HBO every weekend. These broadcasts are clearly bias. HBO hid it from time to time.

Yeah, he was poor and there was no need to get hit by that shot that opened up the cut. He was cocky and arrogant and nearly got made to pay. He’s lucky it didn’t get stopped, I think the ref made the right decision but some more cautious ones could have potentially called the fight off.

Wilder isn't saying that step aside shyt now, now there's a potential weakness he wants the fight asap.
