Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

Wlad is more of "chess player" than a fighter.

I don't know is it bad or good thing.

Wlad is more of "chess player" than a fighter.

I don't know is it bad or good thing.

So the 27 year old 22 fight Fury is more of a fighting man than Klitchsko ? Dude has been fighting as nearly as long as Fury has been alive ! The notion makes no sense to myself whatsoever that Fury is more of a fighting man and has demonstrated more heart.

[mann187]

Is the current heavyweight champion not a fighting man ? the guy hasn't lost in over 11 years, has held a title for more than a decade. To me he is a proven fighting, more so than the 22 fight Tyson Fury, surely a fighting man faces all challenges like Klitschko has, not avoided certain challenges like Fury has for instance when the big hitting Price was evidently pursuing Fury.

Of course Wlad is a fighting man, I just think Fury may have the an advantage in that department when it gets rough in a fight. Wlads one of my favourite boxers but Fury is more of a fighter and weve seen him go down and get back up to grind out the win (I know Wlad did against Peter too).

I merely stated he was a fighting man in jest as he always calls himself a fighting man, chill out dude.

Well he fights like a girl for one.

So no.

You are completely wrong with these:


Defense: Fury -- what?? Have you even watched Wlad over the last 5 or 6 years? He has worked like hell on his defense and it is probably the best in the division right now. Meanwhile Fury eats clean shots almost every fight.

adaptability: Fury -- Based on what? Wlad has been able to adapt to a vast number of styles and has consistently come out on top. Fury has adapted to fat chisora and shot chisora.

power: Fury -- Probably your worst call of the lot. I suppose Eddie Chambers has more power than Wilder? Wlad has MASSIVELY more power than Fury.

more effective hooks: Fury -- Check out second round of Wlad v Povetkin or watch Wlad v Pulev (both better opponents than fury has ever faced) and say that again with a straight face.

The likes of heart and chin which you give to Fury are both questionable at best.

Also why did you include silly things like Star Power (Wlad is by far the bigger draw anyway) and NSB draw power (there are far more posts and threads about Wlad) and proceed to give them to Fury too?

I think Wlad will catch him early with something big. Dominate the next round or so (if Fury survives that) and then catch him again and knock him spark out. Fury is too easy to hit and is not fast enough to avoid Wlad's bombs and does not have Wach's chin. He's going down.

Can't believe somebody would say fury has more power than wlad

I noted the wide smile, I just don't agree with the notion. It certainly is not proven by any means, if anything Wlad has proved he is a true fighting man.

Well he fights like a girl for one.

So no.

Watch Chisora Fury 2 in the first round or two whenChisora is actually giving it a go before capitulating after the opening rounds Fury is using the same tactics, clinch, lean, grapple.

Don't beat yourself off over it, you may actually pull it off in angst.

Watching that vid I still can't shake the notion that Wlad just doesn't really get Fury. Maybe he doesn't need to, but it never pays to underestimate your opponent, especially when he's a live dog. Fury on the other hand seems to understand Wlad completely, including understanding how he can be beaten. His breakdowns were clear, detailed and logical, a far cry from the simple minded rantings of David Haye and countless other opponents. I honestly think Wlad was a bit thrown for a loop. He's so used to being attacked over his chin, his fighting style and his three losses that he wasn't prepared for Fury's brutal honesty, and while it will have hardly rattled him, I think it must have given him a deeper appreciation of Fury as an individual, a man he's repeatedly labelled a clown and an imbecile. It's never much of a confidence builder to find out you've misjudged someone so badly.

[Fury4daWIN]

Wlad, for all his talk of being a therapist, doesn't seem to understand human psychology that well. He's intelligent in an academic way, but he lacks that intuitive understanding of individuals that Fury has. Fury gets into people's minds and sees what makes them tick. Then he picks them apart piece by piece.

Fury knows how to beat Wlad. Whether he can achieve it is another matter, but I have full confidence that his gameplan come fight night will be spot on.
