Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

[Rockin']

What do you think Tyson Fury's gameplan will be?

Simply to not get killed.............

[Fury4daWIN]

Gameplan will be to stay alive. I like Fury but truthfully he's an oaf with rudimentary skills and no real styles as such. Wlad is known for clinching and jabbing but he sometimes goesinto kill mode when the opponent doesn't present much that and I believe that's what he's going to dohere. I mean, what has Fury EVER done to indicate that he would give Wlad any problems? He's got no speed, no footwork, and marginal power for a man his size.

I'm interested to know which Fury fights you've seen. If it's just the Cunningham fight, then I urge you to check out his later fights where he displays all those things you claim he lacks: footwork, speed, fluid combination punching. Much more than just rudimentary skills.

The fighter you describe sounds more like Mariusz Wach, minus the marginal power.

Fury's going to beat Klitschko from the Southpaw stance.

He'll switch back to orthodox if he senses a knockout coming though.

Not gonna happen. furys "combinations" are overrated he hasnt beaten anyone decent

Chisora and Cunningham are decent. Chisora would have been seen as a pretty good name on Wlad's resume, especially at the time Fury fought him in the rematch. The fact Fury abused him so easily without even breaking out of second gear should have been a pretty big wakeup call that this guy is the goods. Instead, Chisora gets criticised and relegated to bum status. It's unfair.

Look at it this way. If Wlad had beaten Fury's last two opponents the way Fury actually beat them people would be praising him a lot more, regardless of the level of opponent. It'd be hard not to, considering some of the skills displayed.

Fury might still be a bit of an unknown quantity but at some point people just need to wise up that he's maybe a hell of a lot better than they first thought.

That's funny you rip Wladimir but are the biggest Joshua fanboy although Joshua said he wishes he can reach Wlad's level someday.

Fanboy?

Why would anyone say they wouldn't reach world champion status for 10 years?

Would Joshua ever like Wlad? Of course not. He knows Wlad never was and never will be a PPV fighter and stinks the joint out every time he fights. Other than a few fans on NSB, nobody will care if he retires.

There won't be a Muhammad Ali esque celebration of his career because there has been no highs, just a good solid average "couple of claps, eat shrimp salad, go home's". You've never seen an amazing performance from Wlad, never been amazed, never any excitement. Just the same old boring Wlad.

Except for the Peter fight. Other than that, he has had a pretty boring career.

Before his death ,he had favored Wlad over lewis in any year,no delusional fan will change that,this particularly upset lewis going as far as to give every Klitchko fan advise to beat him,you and my Dirk diggler buddy are getting a FULL education here....

So why did he rank Lennox as one of the best heavyweights ever and Wlad #8?

resume VS head to head?
1 career not complete yet?

pretty obvious

Head 2 head.

He basically said Wlad fights scared + hasn't beaten as good fighters as Lennox beats.

Both facts.

[Weltschmerz]

The legends of the sport transcend ring action - Vlad does too. He's an outstanding role model to kids (unlike certain other 'champs'), he engages in charity, humanities, political debate, societal issues, etc. A true ambassador to the gentleman's sport and simply one of the brightest stars the HW division has ever witnessed.

We don't agree much when talking about heavyweights, but, yup, this is true.
