Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

[KnockoutNed]

Just imagine a Lennox-Vlad fight, if Vitali hadn't scared Lennox into premature retirement.

Wlad had just gotten his glass chin shattered by a 10yrs past prime failure of the Lewis era

[Weltschmerz]

Lennox was still young for a HW champion... He could have fought Vlad in 2005, after Vlad was over his 'crisis'.

Wlad has better jab ,left hook and straight right...Lennox has just a right upper cut over Wlad anyone who knows how to watch actual abilities can see that ,add in Footwork and its even more clear...... really i can list the many direct quotes from Steward and blow this pointless idiotic angle of yours up like a grenade

Like Fury said, that's something they teach you on day one. 1-2 hook. That's basically Wlad's entire arsenal outside of bearhugging his opponents.

[Weltschmerz]

Anybody who understands boxing and/or isn't a klitschko nutter could see Lennox was far superior in every aspect of boxing.

So Emanuel Steward didn't understand boxing?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Emanuel Steward also said Maurice Harris was the most naturally talented fighter he worked with....so yeah.

Steward would always be a whore to whoever was paying him at the time.

Like Fury said, that's something they teach you on day one. 1-2 hook. That's basically Wlad's entire arsenal outside of bearhugging his opponents.

The point is that Vlad fights economically, even minimalistically. As others point out, he was an aggressive, come forward fighter early in his career and used to trash opponents left and right in the early rounds even. He has simply mastered his current craft to perfection without overdoing anything unnecessary.

Fury is good value for entertainment and a decent test for Wlad but...

If Tyson Fury really believes he will get the better of Klitschko mentally I think he is deluded,

There are times when Fury should just STFU and get on with his training, this is a huge step up for him.

If he backs up all his trash talk then fair enough, but I think he will come up short in the fight.

Looking forward to this one.

Fury is a pure entertainment!

Right...because Lennox's chin was chuvalesque?

[mlac]

hes fairly amusing

what will be more funny will be seeing him on his back after all his trash talking.

the irony is overwhelimg. ' hes fought bums ' ' he has no arsenal 'and who have you fought fury ? what is your arsenal?

literally no one and nothing.
