curious what physical tools do you think wilder has as an advantage outside of his height?
taller, reach, punches harder, seems way more explosive, has legit wtf ohko power.
usyk is faster though and obviously has the advantage in IQ angles etc. I AJ reach is actually similar to wilders so maybe that isn't that big of a deal. I think the biggest thing will be that if he does land on Usyk he really may get him out of there. My logic though it may be wrong is if he can touch fury he should be able to touch usyk as well
I could be wrong
and this aint no stan talk I got off that train with his years of goofy ass excuses after taking the fury Ls. shyt is embarrasing.

Another thing is that southpaw stance makes him lined up to eat a straight right; Wilder's home run punch. Usyk should be able to beat him, maybe even stop him but with that leaky defense he had against AJ; he could get caught & have his night end earlytaller, reach, punches harder, seems way more explosive, has legit wtf ohko power.

The Takeover
Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford have agreed to all material terms for a fight for the undisputed welterweight championship, an event targeted for Nov. 19 in Las Vegas, multiple sources tell ESPN.
However, the deal has not been signed as the parties' lawyers clean up legal language in the agreement, per sources. Crawford, ESPN's No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer and top welterweight, acquiesced to all proposed financial terms from PBC creator Al Haymon, including the short end of a revenue split, sources said
The package includes a bilateral rematch clause that the loser will have the right to exercise, per source. If the rematch clause is triggered, the winner will earn the majority of revenue for the return bout, per sources.
The 147-pound summit meeting - Spence holds the WBC, WBA and IBF titles while Crawford has the WBO belt - will be presented as a co-promotion between Spence's Man Down Promotions and Crawford's TBC Promotions on PBC pay-per-view. High-powered attorney Jeffrey Spritz is representing the Haymon/Spence side as the contracts are being reviewed.
"I want Terence Crawford; that's the fight that I want," Spence, ESPN's No. 2 welterweight and No. 3 pound-for-pound boxer, said in April. "That's the fight everybody else wants. ... Terence, I'm coming for that belt!"
The 32-year-old from Desoto, Texas, returned from surgery to repair a detached retina to score a 10th-round TKO of Yordenis Ugas in April to capture a third belt. Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) was set to fight Manny Pacquiao in August but withdrew from the matchup due to the eye injury.
It was the second major setback of Spence's career after an October 2019 car crash hospitalized him.
"Now everybody's saying that Errol's back and he's 100% ready. So now is the perfect time for me and him to fight," Crawford, 34, told ESPN in April. "He called me out, so it ain't no backing up."
Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) parted ways with his longtime promoter, Top Rank, following his November TKO victory over Shawn Porter that sent the challenger into retirement. The move paved the way for a deal; Haymon, who advises Spence, rarely does business with Top Rank. Now, Haymon is poised to deliver one of the biggest fights of this century, a coup for PBC after it was unable to retain boxing's biggest star, Canelo Alvarez, after only one fight.
"I'm free to do whatever I want," said Crawford, a three-division champion from Omaha, Neb. "There's nothing standing in the way from us fighting. There's no promotion company that's blocking it, there's no wrong side of the street, there's no nothing. Let's see who the best welterweight in the world is."

It’s amazing all these fights stay getting made once Bob is out the picture… but it’s never TRs fault why fights don’t get made

The reason I was confidence in the fight is both fighters need this fight to get mega money
Floyd and Manny already had generational wealth when they were ducking each other.
They didn’t need the fight financially

Reading between the lines it looks like Bud took a bad deal just to get this thing finalized.
I got Bud winning, if you willing to take a ban bet with me let's get it
