well Povetkin doesn't want to face him, Chisora lost to Fury, Fury is still happy facing domestic level fighters, so there's not really anyone left

Fury is young and building himself into a good fighter. He's still got a lot to learn and looks better each time he gets in the ring. Why risk getting beaten now by Wlad which is inevitable at this stage of his career! Give him time, he's picking it up in terms of advancing his career. He's only 23 and that's young for a heavyweight nowadays. Imagine him in 2-3 years time hes going to be a great heavyweight.Originally Posted by ElTerribleMorales

he hasn't beaten anyone to give the indication that he's going to be a GREAT HW, a somewhat decent one yes, but you can't make such claims until he actually steps it upFury is young and building himself into a good fighter.

Povetkin-Stiverne would be a hell of a match up for a title shot.
I don't think Wlad will have issues with any of the fighters mentioned though...the guy is just on another level.

That's 100% possible. He hasn't done all that much in his career and this is by far his biggest test, so we'll see.Your over-rating himYou're counting out the Boz.

I think in terms of the crock of shit heavyweights that are around these days he has potential to be seen as a great amongst the fellow heavyweights that fight nowadays. Don't get me wrong he's no Ali or Tyson etc, but I do think in the near future he has the potential to be the best.he hasn't beaten anyone to give the indication that he's going to be a GREAT HW, a somewhat decent one yes, but you can't make such claims until he actually steps it upFury is young and building himself into a good fighter.

However that does show the lack of ability that the heavyweight devision has. I don't see how it's going to get better in the future either. It's a boring weightclass nowadays. Fury brings some character to it and I wish him the best in developing his career. I would love to see him as a world champion one day and I think within 2-3 years he could well be.
I do agree that he needs to step up the competition till we can properly judge him , but so far so good IMO. As I said before he is still young for a heavyweight and I think by 2012 we will see him in with some good fighters.
All I know is that 'The Boz' was the guy Vitali trained to fight before Johnson got injured and pulled out of the Lewis fight. Also 'The Boz' got stopped by Jameel McCline in 2003.
Looking at his record his best wins are: a TKO 2 vs Cliff Couser, TKO 2 vs Roman Greenberg, and a UD vs Oliver McCall. He's 6'3, has a good reach at 81", and his weight fluctuates anywhere from 245 (in '07) to 223 (in '09) to 231 (his last fight). 35 wins and 26 KO's is decent but its not vs a high pedigree of fighter.

Is he going to break his own record? Its like the 80th time he's done it. All that time registering to use the forum for 1 post each time, sadlandgo might set a record for the shortest stay by a new member before getting banned.

Re: Tony Thompson to get a rematch with Wlad Klitschko
Yea, he'll come to win against Povetkin and I believe he can do it, but it's more gut than logic.

Re: Tony Thompson to get a rematch with Wlad Klitschko
You can put big red frilly bows on it and adorn it in gold but coming of a set up farce like Mormeck this is a pos. In an odd way this makes me think even less of Haye

Re: Tony Thompson to get a rematch with Wlad Klitschko
It will be interesting to see how David Price does on Nov 19th against Mcdermott. His amateur pedigree is patchy but he is a big guy who can really punch. Would love to see him in with Fury who doesn't seem to be a big hitter. Price is big enough to mix it with Wlad but miles behind in experience so maybe one for the future. There is Helenius who price lost on points to in 2005 in the amateurs but other than that the only real heavyweight with potential that may bring back some excitement in the future is super heavyweight Anthony Joshua and he is competing in next years Olympics.So probably will turn pro 2013 by which time Wlad will probably retire.
