Fury Targets Wilder

As the Haye fight now looks to be dead in the water Fury finds himself without an opponent for next February. According to Sky Fury has moved quickly to fill the gap and is targeting unbeaten American hope Deontay Wilder. Also looks like Wilder’s team have not dismissed the possibility. What do folk think of this as a match up. Personally would welcome this as a match up, folk have rightly been calling on Wilder to step up his opposition and Fury certainly represents a level up from the Harrisons of this world.

Would like to see this happen, both fighters still have enough question marks over them to create interest and two unbeaten heavyweights always carries a level of intrigue. Really hope it is Wilder that fills the breach, what do you think about this, should it happen.

Doubt he'll get him......Wilder isn't a big name over here and I imagine his handlers are waiting the Klits out..So he can live or die with a huge payday !

Fury has however had his stock hugely inflated with the Haye stuff..........he's come out of it sitting pretty....He had the bottle to fight Haye and with Haye's retirement becomes the HOPE !!

The 5 million purse loss can be regained later with shrewd management..

Everything is rosy for Tyson at the moment.

As good a fight as there is out there presently (at heavyweight).

I'd fancy Fury to weather Wilder's early attacks and ping him out. It would be an exciting fight, though.

Not going to risk wilder.........Until a belt is on the line.

If it happens, excellent news. Almost a throwback to the time that two prospects could battle it out without fearing that a loss would necessarily be the end of the world for either. A win obviously propels the fighter concerned quite high into the list of names who will be scrapping for the post-K2 crumbs.

Fans are aware of Wilder from the Harrison fight -- his record is a good marketing tool. Wilder seems to be doing the exact opposite -- he's sparred the Klitschkos and so his management are hanging about until Wladimir retires.

A Fury fight would seem right up his street.

So why are Wilder's peeps always calling out Fury?

Fury called out Price..

Wilder has a weak chin. Seen the video of him and Haye sparring he looked like a lanky kid off balance and swinging wildly. I think Fury could ko him but late in the fight.

Then ducked him did he not when Fat Mick withdrew from purse bids or some such nonsense

I hear your favourite fighter Chisora has been thrown into the mix now his Euro HW title defence has been scrapped.

Whoever Fury fights, I hope he's beaten soundly...suggesting he's been ducked by David Haye is as laughable as saying you've been outsmarted by STRONGY

I think "ducking" is a bit harsh. Hennessy was tied to Channel Five -- Price to Sky or BoxNation (can't remember which at that point).

Haye didn't duck Fury but he hasn't half messed him about. On the back of his previous cancellations (Charr, Vitali) it looks poor (which probably isn't fair if Haye has genuinely been injured each time but hey, that's cricket).

Wondering why these guys are struggling to reach any form of amicable compromise these days. Too many fevered egos involved probably.

Joint promotions are clearly not impossible as Froch/Groves is one and they're increasingly commonplace. Just wonder why no-one was able to get this one up and running

Wilder in 1

I want to see Fury vs Wlad..........Want to see how Wlad mugs a taller, just as big guy like Fury..........

If Fury does catch him coming in ....Could be very interesting.......

Fury has more chance with Wlad than he did with Haye's potshotting.

Would like to think that Wlad's people will have seen Fury fight and told Wlad to jump all over him (throwing 10 years of caution to the wind) and just get him out of there

Once Fury dispatches of this overhyped lanky Yank a shot at Wlads title should on the cards

Fury took on Haye because it would have paid. The risk was high but the reward warranted it. I don't see the risk/reward working here at all unless they can get this on in the States and hope to do good ppv numbers.

I don't see this happening.

Wilder will be a walk in the park for Fury. He may as well talke the fight and make some bucks

Wilder doesn't sell here and fury is a no name there..

I can't see it happening to be honest. Wilder's management are playing it "very" safe at the moment. The big money fights for Wilder are Arreola and Wlad with Klitschko representing the bigger jackpot.

I would actually like to see Fury in with Arreola but it would need a hell of a hype campaign to generate enough of a pay day.

I can't see Price wanting Fury just yet or Chisora for that matter. He is having a warm up fight soon so I'm guessing they are waiting until then to see how he does.

Fury v Chisora given both fighters have improved would also be interesting, again though I would see there needing to be a couple of million on the table.

My view is Fury won't take on a risky fight unless there is substantial reward. It's the reason he sidestepped Price in the first place.

One man's duck is apparently another man's sidestep!

Always wondered why Chuck Berry was lauded for his duck stepping routine whereas the Nazi's were villified for the goose stepping.

You think Fury is afraid to lose or take a beating? I've never got that impression. He'll happily take a beating if he's paid enough. Isn't that what was going to happen against Haye?

John Cleese is applauded for his Ministry of Silly Walks routine and people chuckle at the Fawlty Towers "Germans" episode when he's goose-stepping through the dining room but you get several hundred thousand of them doing it through Poland and all of a sudden it's a problem

Totally different thing. We're talking about his duck walk, not his sexual proclivities.

Do pay attention lad, you'll do better in the long run or at the very least ...less worse.

Just the once, but luckily no one found it and the batteries were extra long life.

Bad English, but very fair play to Fury if this comes off.

Can't think of a fight that'd make him more money (maybe a Chis rematch, but unlikely) or that'll do more for his international profile. It's high risk as Wilder, true to his name, is wild. Quick hands and can bang, far from ideal for someone slightly slow and with susceptible chin, and he doesn't even have the size advantage to swamp and bully like he may have with Haye (and needed for the win v Cunningham).

That said Wilder is all untested hype at the moment with a chin with its own question marks. If Fury lasts the first few rounds he could definitely win this and really make himself a big name, maybe even setting up the money shot - a K bro.

Exactly. If Allo Allo taught us nothing else, it's that the Nazi's were funny and the only thing missing from their collective output is a comedy record.

You should try reading Mein Kampf, as a work of satire it is the Catch 22 of its generation.

Isn't it a slightly darker version of "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 and 3/4"?

A duck is not a goose. A duck is not a side step.

The Chuck Berry and Nazi references were purely SFW indulging himself in his particular brand of psuedo intellectualism.

Think you'll find SFW has already cleared that little matter up and whilst no-one can't truly understand what goes on in the lad's head, I was right and you were wrong...not for the first time.

Nah, Townsend can structure a sentence. Nice to see Strongy has found another dance partner in Superfly, hope truss does not feel too jilted.

I thought AH's issues with Jews were a metaphor for his teenage spots!

Mind you Twilight is a similarly good comparison as I assume it's also the mad ramblings of disaffected youth who could have done with a bloody good kicking a damn sight sooner than they got one.

Yeah i always thought Twilight was one girls struggle between beastiality and necrophillia

May have missed the point though (much like Mein Kampf)

I think he was keeping your misconception going with his Allo Allo reference. Just having a little sneer at your expense was SFW. All very cryptic, that's how the psuedo intelligent are.

You credit me with too much pseudo intelligence, Strongy.

Truss is good value for money.

If I were to check back through my post history I would find all my exchanges with SFW started with him making a snide comment about something I said. His comments towards me normally have a holier than thou ring to them and he seeks to appear rather intelligent when making his put downs.

Frankly I don't know why he is so interested in me.
