Klitschko-Fury Set for October 24 in Dusseldorf, Germany

[ross]

Ross you seem to have this me against the world attitude with respect to Fury. I don't think Fury will win, as it's been WAY too many challengers that have talked big, only to walk sheepishly into the ring and lay down for Wlad. I'd love nothing more than for someone to walk in hit Wlad in the mouth and see how Wlad reacts. He hasn't had that in many, many, many fights and it's about high time someone did just to see what happens. I've always thought Wilder has a better chance of upsetting Wlad than Fury does, but I watched his last fight and was not overly impressed. I honestly don't care who does it, as long as I see it sometime before Wlad retires.

Ok you dont think he will win, I do.

You have seen smaller, older, less skilled, less willed fighters get in there with Wlad happy to be there and let Wlad dictate the pace.

What your about to see (unless Wlad pulls out) is a massive, fit, young, strong willed fighter who throws combinations, can move excellently for a heavy and pressure, push Wlad and break him down.

I hope you're right, as it would be great for boxing (see post # 31). Let's say you're correct on all counts regarding Fury. What about his chin, though? The little I've seen of Fury hasn't exactly given me a warm and fuzzy feeling that he can take a shot from Wlad. And make no mistake about it... at least one is bound to land. Then what? Also... is Fury prepared if Wlad decides Fury's too dangerous and tries to turn the fight into a mauling, foul-filled affair (see: Povetkin)? You talk about Fury's physical shape. The times I've seen him he looks like anything but. Has he really given the gym enough of his time to come in as fit as you say? Again... not against Fury. Just a little jaded when it comes to Wlad opponents. And this isn't even a compliment to Wlad.... just a huge critique at all past Wlad opponents.

I said nothing about Furys shape. I said he was very fit which he is. You are confusing bodybuilding with boxing like some others do. Look at Durans body shape as he moved up to fight in his natural bodyweight as what Fury does. Did he look ripped and shredded? No. Was he fit? Yes!

As for Furys chin. Hes going to be much harder for Wlad to hit than Wlad is for Fury to hit and has Fury been knocked out? No. Has Wlad been knocked out? Yes! 3 times!! How many times has Wald been knocked down? 8!!?

Haye was and is supposedly Wlads most dangerous opponent but how many times had he been knocked down prior to fighting Wlad! 6? Also how willing was Haye to fight Wlad with an injury compared to Fury?

Ali got dropped hard and nearly stopped by 180lb Cooper and 190lb Sonny Banks and robbed a decision off Doug Jones. Does he beat the monster Sonny Liston?
