Which is why I'm not.
But lets not act like Wlad has been fighting beast after beast. Most of his opponents came in totally out of shape too.
Povetkin wasn't in his best shape but his tricky footwork make him "athletic" in a certain sense.

I struggle to see how Mormeck came in the best shape of his career? That's just a ridiculous statement.
Wach, Pianeta, Pulev... Some of the worst challengers for the title in 30 years.
Mormeck of course being THE worst. Alongside Leapai and Rahman in 2007.

Originally posted by MDPopescu View PostDid they have a clause in the contract regarding the gloves? Is it true that Fury has to use Grant's instead of Cleto Reyes'?Originally posted by MDPopescu View Post... In case it turns out that Klitschko forced Fury to use pillow Grants instead of puncher's Cleto Reyes, I will definitely root for the ***** from now on...Originally posted by kafkod View PostNot Grants, "Paffen" a similar type of heavily padded "safety first" glove manufactured in Germany.
The contract requires both men to wear Paffen gloves. Fury's team wanted Reyes for both, but Wlad insisted on the Paffens.
Fury was sent a pair to wear in training, to get used to how they felt, but developed pain in his thumbs.
He was told by a doctor that, because of his size, the fixed thumb design of the gloves was bad for him.
The manufacturer then sent him a customised protype pair of the same gloves, but without the fixed thumb, and Fury said they were ok.
But he still hasn't seen a finished pair of the actual gloves he will be wearing for the fight, and Bernd Bönte is saying that the issue is between Team fury and the glove manufacturer, no concern of his or Wlad's.
Anybody any thoughts on this?

A contract is a contract but I personally believe Fury should wear what he wants as long as we are within rules and regulations.
But Team Klitschko is the boss, so there you go.
