Tyson Fury vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[Silkeyjoe]

Fury is the only man out there with the attributes and heart to take it to Wlad.

Wilders one punch KO power has to give him a chance. I think Wlad will stop him. Its hard to know. Fury boxed the whole fight south paw. I dont see why he does this. He wont be able to do that against Wlad and surely he should just be getting best prepared for the fight.

I really hope this fight happens would be a good spectacle. Out of curiosity what price would you back Fury at Ross?

Vlad just hits him, in the head, and if he needs a break he hits him anywhere else he wants to.

Tyson has not got a punch that will even push Vlad back, let alone knock him out.

The question is does Vlad want the fight? He's got a fighting chance of being blustered and fouled by Fury, why bother?

[Beanflicker]

He's going to get killed.

my grans got the punch to knock wlad out

[El Kabong]

Well all I can say is hopefully he comes to fight....Wlad will knock him out regardless, but at the very least Tyson should go down swinging.

The build up to the fight will be funny of course because Tyson Fury is another British fighter with an alligator mouth and a hummingbird ass....just like David Haye he'll talk himself up all day long only to lose.

[IamInuit]

Now we cant take that impressive win over Chisora to far afield. The guy is pretty one dimensional. Fury took away his left hook by fighting southpaw and thats all she wrote. It kind of resembled a Wlad fight except Furry had better movement and never grappled the guy to exhaustion.

But really, how bad a matchup could it possibly be? Given the record of stiffs that have walked to the plate its probably to toughest fight he's had since Manny took over. I bet he does better the Haye or Postev....I mean Pulev.

Fury moves well for a big man and has pretty fast hands for a hev. He is athletic for his size and to me looks like a guy that just knows how to fight. One of those aspects that cant be trained like chin or power.

I think its an interesting matchup given all the intangibles and most certainly cant be any worse then the sorry ass group of challengers that has so far tried. Povetkin gave a valiant effort once he retrieved his balls from the jogging trail but even he had to lead with his head to try and get inside.
Maybe Fury does get blasted out. So what?

[walrus]

Nope, Wlad isn't ready to lose and I can't see any current heavyweight who could take him. He will retire without any further loses. He will probably win the fight with a couple jabs. Emmanuel Stewart told Wlad his weakness is his chin so he trained Wlad not to get hit in the chin. Wlad seems to have changed things up after that prov fight and has become interesting to watch again. I think he read all of our posts here and saw what he needed to do. I hope he keeps up this active style. One more hugfest and I will boycott him for life.

[Otley]

unless Wlad really gets old over night I can't see how Fury can win....he has no punch to even get lucky


Job Biscuit (no chance)!!!


eh eh!!

[Memphis]

You'd have to make Wlad the favourite but I'm interested to see what Fury offers at the very top. He wont be able to fanny about like he did with Chisora which was a good performance by the way, other than getting twatted by Haye Chisora is a handful for anyone and still a top 10 - 15 heavy, fury did what he wanted when he wanted.


The acid test is can he handle what Wlad can dish out. He might get chinned out but it's still the most interesting Wlad fight out there other than Wilder who I think deffo gets chinned by Wlad.

[El Kabong]

Tyson Fury is green no doubt, but aren't all the heavyweights that haven't gotten a title shot yet?

Fury, Jennings, Wilder, Stiverne....they either haven't fought big power or they haven't fought good boxers or they haven't fought guys who were supposed to test them.


I think Fury's attitude is good enough to where he'll be confident in his ability to win....but the bad part of that is his attitude may also work against him by allowing himself to get hit, giving up that height and reach advantage....he's going to try but Wladimir will just hammer the hell out of the guy.

[palmerq]

I think it won't happen, I am going to guess wladimir will take on jennings and defeat him then take on the wbc champ whoever that is and win that then he will be faced witha demand from the wbc and wbo to take on their mandatory fellows and wladimir will drop the wbo belt or just retire, fury then goes on to take on someone like boystov and becomes world champion and hilarity ensues !

Kltschko KO3

Let's be honest, very weak opponent for Wladimir.

He has the length, but Wladimir's shots hard enough to knock Fury flat out and they are so much faster and sharper he'll beat him to the punch every time.

Couple that with vastly superior defensive and offensive skills, immaculate conditioning and you have all the ingredients for an early upset.

Pulev was 2ce the boxer Fury was. Fury looks good against smaller oppoents mainly.

The only fighters who can really upset Wlaidmir now are those with good offensive qualities, a great chin and a really big punch. Fury has none of these qualities.

Yes he does

Vlad will win easy if he fancies it, but he is in a position where he is 'kingmaker'. He can pick and choose his opponents, and I'm not sure a gobby troublesome pikey will be high on his list of priorities, perhaps if he cleans up Haye/Price etc. he deserves a shot. Not based on what he's beat so far.

Joshua is the one to follow, Hearn Jr wants him in with the pikey next year, if it flies it makes more money that a Vlad fight, sad but true

I disagree.

I think the Fury fight will be very high on his list.

Low risk, high reward.

Most of the other coontenders have a punchers chance. Fury doesn't. But fans THINK that he does, thus inflating the fight.
