Unlike most I guess, I don't have issue with Fury and his antics. He'll probably be a stand up comedian after he retires, but for now he's just a guy trying to get to the top, the best way he can. Really looking forward to this one. Being realistic though... but there's always that 'what if?' in the back of my head.
Nah man its all about vampire facials, 750ml of IV's and vitamin C that will show father time who's boss!!
AM I RIGHT, OR AM I RIGHT?!?!
Yep
It could be the start of things to come but Wlad has only ducked Fury once, let's see if he breaks Floyd's world record of ducking Khan 4 times right in front of everyone's eyes!
God I hope it doesn't get that bad.
LOL Fury is suuuuuch a bozo. I'm excited for this fight, but he isn't even Klitschko's toughest opponent to date. Not by a long shot. Wladimir gives him the same emotionless stare down every press conference and he's saying he saw fear?! Tyson get ahold of yourself, buddy. This is why you're called a clown. The dude got injured. Let it go. It'll be back on a month later in November. If Marius Wach's chin didn't scare Wlad at the same height, your big ugly head doesn't either : )
Grinding on Fury like this, I'm guessing you also think pro wrestling is real. And I suppose you think Klit is gonna do something... ANYTHING interesting to build up a fight? Good luck with that. Fury just doing the job of 2 fighters, trying to get butts into seats. Not a thing wrong with that.
This is getting ridiculous now. I get it he's european and he's nice but when has this Golovkin disrespected, dissed, talked down any other fighter. For the hate the man gets you'd think he was going around slapping people's mothers and punt kicking deformed babies. He's a nice guy who goes in there in destruction mode...is he unbeatable no, no man is but damn if him doing his job hasn't made so many haters out of fans. All the guy is doing is his job. I can understand the hate for Mayweather, Pacquaio, Broner, Marquez, stevenson, kovalev..they've all done something or the other at some point to piss people off but this guy always has something nice to say about his opponent and been respectful. It's truly curious all the hate he gets.
Pssst... It's called trying to get a title shot. You know, that thing fighters do to progress in their chosen field of employment. Sr has a rep for talking alot, but even so, his son is now on the map as a potential challenger. And there aren't many who wanna fight GGG. So maybe complain less and be thankful more. At least Jr would go some rounds, maybe even get lucky and land a few bombs. Or are you afraid your idol gets blitzed? They're fighters. Let em fight. Geez.
Banks: "Klitschko Will Be Appreciated When He's Gone"
Translation: "I will miss the fat paycheck when Wlad's gone".
How much talent does it take to be that big? None. He was given his size by genes, not talent. His structure and clinching are Wlad's 2 biggest weapons. How many have been big enough for it to even be structurally possible to get to him? Or does size mean nothing in this conversation?
Look at some of the comments on this thread and you'd see nearly all known/reasonably well known HWs in the past 60-70 years dismissed as average. If Wlad was 6' 2" 225 lbs., with the same skill set, he'd probably be top 15 but not champ, or not for long. He has good talent, good reflexes, good jab, all the basics. But a weak chin. We just don't see that liability now because he improved his defense under Manny. He's lucky he has the size, and that he had Manny in his corner for many years. He isn't bad by any means, but take away the gifts at birth, you have an above average HW.
Well, I'd pick Fury but that's not saying much. I will however say Wilder has a puncher's chance, as do most heavies against Fury because the guy leaves himself so open. Klit had the same chance but he either couldn't pull the trigger or was not right mentally. Wilder is right physically and mentally (goes after opponents when they are hurt). Neither is particularly good to watch though and lacks educated feet. Could be a messy, ugly affair.
Don't remember seeing it put quite like that. Of the 2 tho, Fury's feet seem to have at least gotten thru grade school, or jr. high maybe. :boxing:

So, essentially you're saying the babe's azz saved the guy.
Dracula-B#tch needs to be called onto the carpets by the NSAC. Man, what a joke. Both fighters fouling, extremely close fight with Chaves up by a point, and here comes yet another huge ego ref sticking his nose into the outcome. Wow, I'm speechless. NSAC better get busy. They have alot of work to do... or this type ignorance can cost the sport big in the long run.
Kind of an unusual comment from someone after being caught, albeit with medication that probably should be legal. Crank up the testing, but first, improve testing.
This guy is flat out stupid and anyone who wants the 3rd fight is stupid. He's basically a domestic fighter over there, who got lucky with a huge money fight. Take that money, invest it well, and shut up.
IMO the ref (obviously and clearly inexperienced at this level) skroo-ed up by not giving Kokietgym more time to recover. Only the fighter knows how bad the butt was. We don't. We can speculate and dismiss the fighter as a bum. Doesn't make it so. I like Rigo, great boxer, good power etc etc, but this is not a good way to win the fight.
and now, officially from this day forward, Mannytards have zero room to talk about Floyd's opponents. ever. EVAR.
'wraps has spoken.
Wraps has spoken? What, are you some legend-in-your-own-mind?
Algieri is taller, moves alot, good range, speed... he will give Pac alot more problems than anyone Floydie has taken on in recent fights with the exception of Maidana.
"Daily Affirmation with Wladimir Klitschko". Wladimir Klitschko is a caring nurturer, a member of several 12-step programs, but not a licensed therapist.
Wladimir:
I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am an attractive person. I am fun to be with.
I'm going to do a terrific show today! And I'm gonna help people! Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!
:trink26: :alcoholic
I actually had to go to Boxrec site to make sure this wasn't some other George Groves. Nope. Same one. Same guy who Froch destroyed, Jack beat. 3 world stages. 3 fails. IOW choked. Geez, some people you can see a mile away just from their swollen egos. SMH

who TF is Brazier? how can you have an opinion when you dont even know WHO is fighting let alone how they fight!?
It's a play on words, friend. I know the guy. Kassi beat him but was robbed, Manseur was beating him til he was injured. Joshua will annihilate him. The guy is just a fat slow oaf with some power. And this coming from someone who would like to see more Americans do well at HW.

Getting the impression Wald's just ready for his huge retirement check and gold plated watch for 20 years of service. Kinda tough to feel sorry for someone who is that wealthy. But really, he's had stacks of high moments with very few setbacks, and will keep having them after the boxing career, so he'll do fine no matter the outcome of this fight.
Matt Legg was 7-2, and had already been stopped twice before he fought Joshua. One of the guys who stopped him was 6-28. Joshua broke his eye socket, but that's what happens when you put a top-caliber fighter against a complete tomato can. Potentially, Klitschko could also have seriously injured a fighter like Matt Legg. In fact, a fighter like Chris Arreola could have ended his career. This article is pure sensationalism.
You may see it as sensationalism, but fact is, the article, the interview... they focused on Joshua's power. That can't be disputed. Now, if Klit grabs, leans, holds, stinks up the joint... yeah he could get the W. But if he actually gets aggressive and fights Joshua, he'll get caught with a few of AJ's bombs. Sure, the reverse could happen, but generally in a fire fight, the younger faster more powerful fighter wins.
I realize the scribes are egging him on, but still, geez, is this guy ever blabbering away to no end. I'm confident that Manny must've had the weekend off when Klit lost to Fury. And he'll be on holiday this weekend as well. Doubt has a crazy habit of coming back to haunt a fighter, especially early in a fight. Expect Wlad to freeze, get clocked, drop and roll, with the first 6 rounds.
Tyson you ain't heard the news?! The black heavyweight is BACK on top!
And here comes the azzhatt who's gotta make everything about race. Geez bubba, take a hike.

I know they're talking smack now... that's a given before any fight.
Why are not supporting the American fighter???
Brook is talking sh*t too...but you mad at Spence.
Typical scab mentality.
Geez, here comes Mr 'You Prejudice Doe'. Get a life man. I like stacks of fighters, and don't care what race or nationality any of them are. Spence just needs to have proved he had a set before grinding on Brook's GGG fight. Brook showed he wasn't scared of the big boogie man. And Spence's competition has been light at best. And you know all this.

Who did Brook fight to get a belt? I already know you won't answer that question.

Spence can say whatever he wants and they're both talking crap. It's a fight.

Wouldn't mind another Pac fight after Bradley. He's fun to watch. What isn't to like? Drag the Juicer Floydie outta retirement and give him a full blown loss to chap his back door. Now that he's been caught, he'd probably be watched closer and most likely couldn't cheat for once. And he's pretty much an ordinary boxer with less punch resistance and less track meets. Best medicine he could ever hope for.
I'm thinking Haye is too much for Wilder. Wilder's footwork is ridiculous, and he's still too green for any real challenge. Doubt Wilder would sign for a Haye fight though.... but he is slowly painting himself into a corner and soon enough won't have any options. Haye himself is just in it for the money now, but he'd still have enough for Wilder, assuming Wilder even gets past Povetkin.

Maybe vortex should go through the exact same training, diet, exercise, and everything else this disciplined LEGEND does to give us GREAT fights... Go through the same hell he goes through to prepare for a fight and we will see how ripped you get... Clown!!!
He work with Angel PED Heredia, had increased his power in his late stage of his career, avoided VADA testing with Bradley.. Anyone that knows 2+2 = 4 knows damn well Marquez JUICED.. Great fighter and technician, NO DOUBT about that, but definitely a big RED FLAG with the later portion of his career...
As time goes on we will see some more slip ups with the 'experts' in juicing. It took a bunch of fight camps, but Floydie was finally exposed. Caught dead to rights. Yet what will ever come of that reality? Probably not much. Bottom line is, we fight fans luv a sport that, like all sports, isn't 100% legit all the time... but just like anything in life, the more money you have, the smoother your ride thru it. First and foremost example is Floydie. We may find he and JMM deciding to not risk getting caught. Maybe they'll stay retired.
And for the record, Pac won the 3rd fight.
He won the fight, but I don't think by that many rounds. I had it a 1 point win with an even round in there. As for the Puerto Rico vs Mexico rivalry, that was just something to sell the fight. Both fighters are hyphen Americans in reality, so why there just has to be a rivalry I have no idea. Both fighters fought hard, both had moments, but neither dominated the entire fight. Certainly don't think Guererro has anything to be ashamed of. He just needs to fix some issues he always seems to have the last half dozen fights, and go back at it again. Garcia hopefully gets the Khan rematch, and maybe then we'll find out if he's really as good as his fans think he is. Khan's speed should nullify Garcia, but we will just have to see. Looking forward to it.
