But he has taken a ferocious beaten from Fury. I don’t think Wilder is done but he’s the 4th best in the HW division and far behind those three as well. Maybe he fights a Parker and then the loser of Fury v White but it’s a narrow path for him now

Ward had money on Wilder
Great fight, best of this trilogy by a mile.
Fair play to Wilder he was a dead man walking for 5 rounds there but stayed on his feet.

Yeah he really did, it was ugly from Fury at times but used all his tools to win
It's pretty bad for Wilder that Fury isn't a power puncher. Taken some serious damage these last couple of fights.
Joshua wouldn’t even beat Wilder imo, never mind Fury.
Great fight. Fury is cementing his place in heavyweight boxing history, he’s got to be up there with the all time greats now.
Fight of the year contender.
Looked like Fury was gone at one point. Credit to Wilder, showed amazing heart and could have won.
But what can you say, Fury is an unbelievable boxer. The extra power he has gained is really impressive.

Surely the closest to Ali in modern boxing
Well that was one of the best fights I've seen in years.
Joshua knocks Wilder out IMO and easily too. Fury’s volume over power allowed Wilder to survive longer than e should have imo.
wilder literally didn’t box for 3/4 of that fight and just took shots to the point his ability to get beaten up is being praised
yeah they shoulda all just boxed the head off each other for a few years. They couldn't, fury and wilder boxed the head of each other three time while josh lost hist belts twice, says it all
He’s not a bad singer you know
Fury vs Usyk unification bout next year?
Tbf wilder took Fury because Fury looked like easy prey. Then he lost and was in too deep.
Fury.
Even though they never fought a few years back, it would still be a good fight imo.
well done fury, he's a machince
I beg to fecking differ after that mate
I wouldn't like to eat some of those haymakers. Wilder looked fecked.Credit to Wilder. Thought he was done most of the rounds but he kept coming back. Great fight
not getting involved in that nonsenseTbf wilder took Fury because Fury looked like easy prey. Then he lost and was in too deep.
It depends on how long that list is. He isn't even in the conversation with Lewis, Tyson, Ali, or Foreman.
I don't know how much punch resistance this fight has taken out of him (he's shaving years of his life/career with these kind of damaging contests), but you can say for certain Joshua would have to match his stamina and endurance and resilience, which we've seen no evidence Johsua has the kind of chin we've seen from both of these guys tonight.
I don't think he's got the heart or resistance for a fight like this with either of them.
These slow motion replays of Fury:
Tyson doing his best Marc Cohn impression. 
Not that bad to be fair.

Fury had me worried a few times but he showed his dominance again in the end. Great fight though.
What a fight, thoroughly enjoyed that!
Wilder sounds like a dick. Jesus
Well worth staying up for. Both for us watching it and for Wilder earning some respect for getting as far as he did.
Yep, you’ve nailed it on the head
Well that was entertaining. Fury made it harder for himself by nearly getting knocked out.
Good Lord, Wilder needs a stun gun to the temple to be put down. He’s like a zombie. Credit to him but he’s probably got himself brain damage with that type of punishment.
Not a very technical fight but my word… were you not entertained? Glad I stayed up for this.

Deontay Wilder is trash as a boxer and as a human. Garbage sportsmanship.
Brutally exposed for the third time and deserves nothing.
Fury - lost for words. What a fighter.

Love Fury! What a guy!
Great fight and yet again, a well deserved win by the Gypsy King.

Wilder coming back like the Undertaker time and time.
poor sportsmanship from him though.

What did Wilder say this time?
Wilder doesn't come across well. His behaviour is sometimes less than completely classy.
Needs more than just a single solitary belt first.
Exactly! His weight gain was a disaster and he reverted to type about 1 and a half rounds in. He didn’t show any improvement as a boxer and the fight should have been stopped long before it was. I’m not seeing where this praise is coming from. Fury doesn’t dominate any other top HW like this because Wilder is so technically poor.
I just think if he was a big hitter that really sat down on shots it's never going that far despite the impressive finish. If you think about somebody like Klitschko, Lewis, Wilder himself, a Tyson, Foreman, any big heavyweight hitter it ends a lot earlier. Wilder looked spent after 3 or 4 so to go that long at heavyweight is unusual. It was worse for Wilder taking a beat down like that than just getting starched. That's a career ender, potentially.I beg to fecking differ after that mate
It's not a criticism because everything he does is superb it's just never been Fury's forte as he was a mover and he's only recently transferred to this aggressive style.
Yeah I know what you mean. Wilder has a good chin to be fair to him, some of those shots would have put most HWs down.
