Tyson Fury vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[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?

I actually think tyson fury is the saviour of the heavyweights!!

He is also very good up close at holding etc

And I reckon he is the only one to beat klitschko

He looks several levels below Wlad in technique, and several levels again below Wlad in power. I can really only see this going one way. Just like punches from Pulev, Wlad doesn't have much to worry about with punches from Fury.

[Primo Carnera]

I actually think Fury has virtually no chance, but like IamInuit said "so what?" He will put up a better effort than Haye and most of the other guys Wlad has fought recently. He will go in there believing he can win, and his heart won't be in question. He will attack and I reckon because of that , he will get put on his ass a few times. However, I reckon he will keep getting up and I think that maybe he'll see the final bell.
As a bloke, regardless of how good or bad he is, you've gotta love the guy. the press conferences will be fun , Wlad will hate him in the build up, but I think he'll earn the guys respect by the end.

[El Kabong]

Tyson Fury doesn't get extension on his punches and that's one of the reasons he doesn't knock anyone out....he short arms everything which is doubly bad because that means he gives up height and reach and against Wladimir that's just not a winning game plan.

[Mark TKO]

Fury knocks him out early

Then an all British showdown for world heavyweight title in summer 2016 at Wembley

I'm actually a fan of Fury's because I find his antics amusing, but he's not in Wlad's league. I wouldn't pick him to beat Deontay Wilder to be honest. I think Haye would have flattened him had the fight taken place.

Honestly I'd be amazed to see him go past 6 vs Wlad.

Tyson Fury is a good heavyweight, you don't beat the guys he has beaten without being good. But I think he's much like Nicolay Valuev in that his size makes him difficult for some heavyweights to handle. That said, it won't really bother Wladimir because Wlad has already beaten guys like Jameel McCline, Tony Thompson, and Maruisz Wach that are bigger in height and weight than Wlad and those have been relatively dominant wins for Wlad. I think Tyson Fury is too easy to hit, I don't know what he was trying to prove boxing southpaw vs Chisora (either he thinks he's clever or he is doubtful of his own boxing ability) but he could stand on his head and Wlad would still knock him out.

It will be a fun watch that is for certain

[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.

This fight will very likely happen in 2015.

What's your prediction?

Fury is going to feel a number of things he hasn't felt yet the shock of which will be felt even in the canvas.

[Dark Lord Al]

What I found very funny at the weekend , before the fight fury said Chisora was a bum and he beat him easily the first time , this time he would knock him spark out.
He of course boxed well from southpaw and dominated the fight but failed to KO him spark out, Chisora's effort was pathetic and he showed how limited he really is.
Then after the fight fury say - who else could have boxed southpaw and dominated a world class fighter like Derek lol , short memories these boxers.

Your clutching at straws Al in your efforts to be a nob.

Who switched stance the entire fight against Chisora then and made him quite throwing no power?

[AdamGB]

Let's put it in perspective ross, he beat a limited, 1 dimensional, declining, short armed, 6 foot 1 boxer with only average power and it took him over twice the time to make Chisora retire than when a part time cruiserweight was able to drop him twice and stop him.

It was a comprehensive, but lacklustre and relatively insignificant win.

[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!!
