Wlad is seriously risking his health in rematch

[Beanz]

As usual, the thread has gone off on all kinds of tangents, including Fury's character.... something I admit to know nothing about.
So I'll stick to the boxing.

Getting back to the thread topic, I respect my friend's @brocktonblockbust opinion that Wlad would be risking serious injury in a rematch with Fury. I just don't see it. Were I to think of Wlad as the type to take some risk in order to redeem himself in the ring.... I might agree somewhat, and even then I can't see it, given the aforementioned punch outputs by both men.

But I just don't see Wlad that way.
Imagine, if you will, the following exchange between Wlad and his very different brother, Vitali:

Vitali: Hey brother... now that we got the rematch, there's something I've been meaning to say. You know I love you and all.... but you looked like shit out there against Fury. It was downright embarrassing.

Wlad: What do you mean, brother?

Vitali: Well... I hate to bring this up... but you hardly threw any punches. Hell..... I wanted to get in there and beat the hell out of Fury for you.

Wlad: But I was being cautious. Remember Sanders, Purrity, and Brewster?

Vitali: Yes brother.... but that was a long time ago. I thought you had let that go by now.

Wlad: Listen... between you and me.... I'm scared of getting KTFO'ed like that again. It HURTS!

Vitali: I know brother... but you got your championship taken away from you. By a guy who ridiculed you and called you every name in the book. He even came dressed as Batman.

Wlad: Well.... for the rematch, I'll just box him more. I don't know.... I'll do something different.

Vitali: That's NOT ENOUGH, brother!! You have to get mad. Go out there and take back what's yours!!

Wlad: But what if I get hit on the chin and get knocked out again??

Vitali: %$&#$&# brother!!!!!! Never mind. How about I fight Fury?

Wlad: Would you really do that for me?

I thought you were going stick to the boxing? That's just daft character assassination based on very little. I replied with a direct quote from Fury himself a few days ago, in response to Brock and Ross ' ridiculous claim that Fury is a role model.

You sound very bitter greenbeanz like this affects you somehow.

Have you tried to be something and failed?

Bitter? What are you waffling on about now? Seriously mate you seem unable to see anything but fluffy clouds where Fury is concerned. Well done to him but the entire forum is getting a bit gloaty bollocks the last few days.

As to your question

"For what is a man's grasp if it's not for over reaching?"

Tito's post was clearly a tongue in cheek and very funny dialogue between guys who have a history of letting big brother do the tougher jobs. Nothing more.

I am not the one starting umpteen threads on TF or dragging out my own contributions from the past to show how shiny my crystal ball is. It's only because you and Brock have got it so spectacularly wrong in the past that you feel the need to do so.

Hmmm, Umpteen? I think someone is exagerating a little

C'mon Beanz. "Character assassination"??

It's just a skit, man.

And BTW..... Vitali did look rather frustrated in Wlad's corner. I can imagine his reaction when Fury was mugging at Wlad with his hands down. I'm not just another Klitschko hater, Beanz. As a person the guy's alright. But Vitali's got the only pair of "cojones" in the family. Wlad may get the better accolades career-wise when it's all over..... but Vitali is truly the better fighter in the family.

BTW again.... I don't consider Fury a role model. I don't know enough about Fury the man to make that kind of statement. All I can say is he took a big risk, challenging Wlad in his own backyard, and made Wlad look like an amateur in the process.
