Think he picked his moment well. Didn’t go chasing the knockout too early even though Wilder looked there for the taking after the 5th round. Could have been very easy to walk onto one of Wilders right hand bombs chasing the ko.

You can only beat what is in front of you.
The difference between Fury and AJ is that Fury has always beaten what is in front of him. AJ has failed to do it both times he has come up against a proper opponent.

This says it all about how unequal any future Fury vs Joshua clash now is, has to be Usyk and then a whole lot of other contenders before no-hopers. Money talks in boxing which probably means less deserving opponents get a shot so Joshua still has a chsnce of a contest, but if he gets hammered and schooled in boxing once again that contest with Fury has to be dead in the water.
'Seldom has that contest looked so uneven. The manner of Joshua’s defeat last month to Oleksandr Usyk, coupled with Fury’s devilish ringcraft in quelling Wilder for good, should help form a picture of two boxers on opposite trajectories. At this rate, Fury’s prediction that he would finish his compatriot off within three rounds seems anything but fanciful.
For years, Joshua has revelled in his billing as the heavyweight whose fights stop the nation, but it is Fury who has compiled the more impressive body of work. While the high-water mark of Joshua’s career came when he stopped a 41-year-old Wladimir Klitschko, Fury has consigned the division’s most devastating one-punch knockout merchant to oblivion. Plus, he has managed it all without home advantage, winning each of his past four fights in Las Vegas. By the time he had demolished Wilder once more, he had converted the locals to his cause, treating them to a surprisingly tuneful take on Walking in Memphis.'

Finally just watched the fight and was a great entertaining fight. Great advert for Boxing and the whole trilogy has been a great advert for heavyweight Boxing.
Fury is great and could tell that 20 months out of the ring had a major impact on him. Fair play to him getting up off that first knockdown too cos that was some shot, the noise off it was unreal.
Wilder shown great improvement for about 2 minutes and 40 seconds. His game plan reverted back to throwing that right hand and going for the knock out once Fury landed that big right hand at the end of the first.
What keeps fury out of trouble in this division now, it’s not so much his skills but his stamina that he has over the other heavyweights.

Lets not forget that Fury was happy to be promoted and represented by the head of an Irish drug cartel, which has reeked havoc on Dublin's inner city in the past 5 years.

Funny how a boxer looking like a 19-century prize fighter defeats all these Hercules-lookalikes. Wilders was huffing and puffing after the fifth. Unbelievable really.
I think Fury would struggle against a smaller, fitter, quick ducking heavyweight working his body. That Usyk might pose a challenge.

An awful lot of disrespect on Dillian Whyte on social media... as in people saying how dare he be considered for Fury's next opponent?
Been mandatory for years, but beyond that he's also the divisions bogeyman that people have been ducking. Yeah, he got caught cold against Povetkin, but that Russian could do that on the inside against a lot of people, he's always had that one shot power and technique - and of course he won the rematch easily.
I think Fury beats him, but it's certainly not a given at all and if Fury isn't 100% up for it he'd be in a world of trouble.
For me, the path now is quite clear - Fury/Whyte, Usyk/Joshua in two 'semi-finals', with the winners to meet eachother.

Klitschko wasn’t a proper opponent ? If that’s the case then Fury has only ever fought one proper opponent in his life and that’s Wilder, who can’t box.
Yeah people consistently don't realise this - Fury's best win was confusing Klitschsko on points. Wilder is atrocious, always has been, his career the most padded record you'll ever see at the 'top level'. Joshua/Whyte/Usyk beat him fairly easily barring one lucky punch. What makes Fury's wins over Wilder decent are that they were away from home and in varied ways.
But yes, Fury has only beaten two notable people in his career (three if you add Chisora but... meh) - one of whom Joshua knocked out 18 months after Fury danced around him for 12 rounds, and the other a technical novice with a power shot and nothing else. This isn't the reincarnation of Muhammad Ali we're talking about here in terms of boxing record.
Fury/Joshua is still a 50/50 fight to me in every way.
