Wilder because it will be 1-1 woth a draw and they will need a 4th fight and it makes them look more money. Plus Wilder will be the better story. Fury already had the nice comeback story now it's time for wilder. If Fury wins I don't think there is anymore wilder getting a fight. However if Wilder wins Fury gets the rematch

was loving fury for the past several months..he is simply a far superior boxer that was dominant for most of the first 2 fights...incredible movement,footwork and so hard to hit at his size with his reach and intelligence..dude is extraordinary in how "gumby" and unco-ordinated he appears to the eye yet the results and performance are absolutely top notch,all time great.
BUT in saying that it is very,very odd that he has put on so much weight,supposedly 20 pounds,and its hard to think that will help him at all..could only hinder him in so far as how quick he moves around the ring,which is a huge asset to him...as gigantic as he is he is amazingly nimble......and then just watching interviews yesterday and this week he seems kind of "passive" in some of his comments..like saying how its "just a job" and not a great joy to knock someone out and how his family/kid is most important to him..i mean thats perfectly fair of course but just gives me hesitation as to his mindset and how "all-in" he is..he also mentioned what a huge comedown it was after beating wilder last time.was depressed/down for a couple weeks after knocking off another big accomplishment and felt as if there wasnt much left to do in the heavyweight division..and now joshua has lost thats another high profile payday and achievement that is "off the list" so to speak......despite him repeatedly saying how he will easily beat wilder up in the build-up and that he has nothing to fear from him,i am thinking now that he might not quite have the fire in the belly that he has had in the past and of course wilder will be as motivated as humanly possible with his top flight career as a true challenger basically over for all intents and purposes if he cant find a knockout here..........so all this is represented in the line-drop as it seems a lot of bets have come in on wilder the past 24 hours.
ive gone from thinking fury is almost a lock type bet (as much as you can be in a one punch knockout sport anyway),to sensing an upset brewing.

haha,thanks...just the shi.tty opinion of an average schmuck.
i do think that fury at his very best can comfortably win.its not even close....but something just smells a little bit off,im just not sure about whether tyson is "all in" and thats something thats impossible to know when making a bet..but we see it so often in fight sports.once youve won basically everything and have all the money in the world the hunger can evaporate and its just not worth it anymore to volunteer to get punched in the face...should be a great watch anyhow,looking forward to it.

Everything you say is true. Fury's bizarre behavior at both the press conference, and the weigh-in, has me worried. Somehow, it seems that Wilder has gotten into his head. He was calm as a cucumber. Remember, Fury won't have a huge English crowd behind him because there are traveling restrictions because of Covid-19. Also, whenever you see Al Haymon & Shelly Finkel in someone's corner, there's always a chance that the judges will lean in their fighter's direction, if it goes to a decision. Remember, Haymon appoints many judges in boxing matches held in Nevada. They need the money. This all favors Wilder. But, what doesn't favor him is the weight he put on for this boxing match. Tremendous muscle mass in his upper body. The only thing I can think of that made him do this, is that he doesn't want Fury to push him around. Especially against the ropes. But that muscle mass tends to tire you out, later in a fight. Bottom line is that for me, there are too many intangibles to pick a winner. I am going to not bet either fighter and just hope it's an exciting fight. Good Luck!

mmm,i agree.not feeling good but i wont be able to resist and will probably put a small fun bet on wilder at great odds,hehe.......is it correct to assume that there is no other "big money" maximum attraction type bout on the horizon for fury if he wins and wins well??that has wrapped up all the belts hasnt it?or does he still have to go and fight the guy that just beat joshua?
anyway i was wondering if the best career move for another good payday is to lose an exciting match here to wilder and then have one last "series decider" against him as it would be 1-all,right?...of all the boxers out there fury is least likely to tank a match but we have seen far shadier things go on every single week/month in the sport.
