That's the point of being Wilder..everyone knows that and no one can do what Fury does.He's power has been bailing him out

To be fair to him he was in there with a taller man with longer reach so he couldn't quite get his jab going as much as he could against some of them other dudes he fought. But yeah that jab was mostly absent now, he did set up his supposed to be killshot with it though in the last round.
His left hook wasn't bad btw but he utilized less in the early stages of the fight and I think Fury, the boxer can learn more from this. It's also not a good sign for Wilder that despite him saying he won he already started to talk about Fury being at his best but him not and joined the fake controversy about the second KD too.
This is a guy whose self-image as a boxer largely built on him having a game changing power what he can always rely on doing the job for him even if he's the lesser boxer than his opponent. He is the guy who gets all animated every time he's talking about seeing his opponents twitching and writhing on the ground, the guys who said he wants a body on his record and that his power is literally deadly, the guy who is loudly preaching that everybody is afraid of him.
So even with keeping his belt it must be killing him that there's this guy coming back from 2.5 years living that fast life, coke, booze, fast food and 6 months from his comeback takes on him, goes to his home turf, outboxes him, takes his best shot, stands up from it and 1 minute later is already on the attack and mocking him with putting his hands behind his back (and mocking him throughout the whole fight).
I still think Joshua is better than Wilder.That's ok..if Fury can do that to Wilder, he can humiliate Joshua too.
I guess you rate Rocky Marciano as your number 1 Heavyweight.That's the point of being Wilder..everyone knows that and no one can do what Fury does.
I love Rocky but I think prime Roy Jones would decimate Rocky Marciano..ssid that for years. He only what? 180? He would get DEMOLISHED by prime Louis, Ali, Lennox Lewis, Tyson, Foreman.I guess you rate Rocky Marciano as your number 1 Heavyweight.
We all give give credit when credits due but there is no need to overrate someone. Wilder is limited and will have problems with fighters with solid skills if he can land a bomb
Ward and everyone thinking Wilder is gonna hide from that rematch is wrong....you knew he was gonna have to do the rematch..even if he lost by uniamous decision, the rematch was gonna be next anyway
If we crossing generations than I see Ali, Lennox, and Tyson wiping the floor with Wilder. Foreman would be interesting because both are heavy hitters but don't think Wilder's chin is as solid as Foreman'sI love Rocky but I think prime Roy Jones would decimate Rocky Marciano..ssid that for years. He only what? 180? He would get DEMOLISHED by prime Louis, Ali, Lennox Lewis, Tyson, Foreman.
Wilder? Problems with skilled guys? No doubt but he always lands..lol
