I think Tyson Fury is all wrong for Klitschko. Klitschko needs a fighter who is going to back up and cower/ smaller than him.
If you listen to Roy Jones doing the fight he was hitting the nail on the head all night long about Klitschko

Wlad threw an average of one punch every 10 seconds. TEN SECONDS!!! Let's just say he threw a few rare 2-punch combinations. That means somewhere along the line Wlad was a full 20-30 seconds without throwing a single punch. Not to mention the fact that of those 19, probably 18 of them were meekly thrown, more like "get off of me" punches than punches meant to do actual damage.
No... it just gets worse the more you think about it.
I say he is intelligent......based on the end result. Horrible numbers for the duration of his fights for sure, but the results?:-\
53 KO/TKOs out of 64 wins. 78% ratio over a 19 year span. That is hard to do.
Rocky Marciano threw 75 punches a round, sometimes 110 (122 in several rounds against Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore!!!!,)
122.
Case closed.
the main difference between 2 awful fights - Tyson v Bonecrusher / Wlad v Fury is pretty simple , Smith landed 4 per round with a rampaging slugger coming at him , Wlad landed the same with a guy landing 7 punches per round on him.
So it shows the fact it went 12 rounds that Wlad is shot and has no punch output.
Wlad didn't KO Jennings because he was stopped from holdingQuote:

No, he's looked old in those fights.Quote:
and like I say tho, in terms of results he is at his peak, Jennings and pulev were 2 of his best wins and best performances
Prime Wlad was faster and would have KOed Jennings.
if the fight was in Germany he would have been allowed to hold and would have KOed Jennings

"He is shot"
This is a shock to see from everyone who like me thought he'd destroy Fury.
All the Fury fight proved is that he couldn't figure someone out, and that was about time.
eggs fucking zactlyQuote:

I almost liked that until you had to reduce Fury to being half decent. Hes clearly better than half decent when he can do what no one else could and that includes half decent fighters like Haye and Povetkin.Quote:
