Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

[LacedUp]

You're mistaking a 'higher skillset' for being willing to throw a wider variety of punches.

Fury gets dropped by cruiserweights hard because of those punches. Wlad doesn't.

Wlad is so infinitely more skilled that Fury that it's amusing that we're even having this conversation.

This dude just doesn't know anything about boxing.

Wide variety of punches isn't tied to skills? Haha.

Only read the first paragraph and that was enough.

Having a wider variety of punches definitely does not infer that one has a higher skillset.

In fact the EXACT OPPOISTE is demonstratably true.

The sharper the skills, the LESS variety boxers seem to display.

The epitome seems to be Klitschko, a perfected minimalist style which has proven beyond doubt that things like body punches and combinations are completely unnecessary and worthless!

Klitshko himself displayed a wider skillset earlier in his career before he was refined.

Now this variety isn't a sign of bad skills. Variation in itself is a good skill, particularly when NO SINGLE attributes of your game are very highly developed!! (key). Therefore I implore Fury for this style and it seems fitting for him to be sure.

But let's not try and pretend that Fury's skills even closely match those of the champ.

No doubt that their skills are apples and oranges. I can't believe somebody actually can say those things and be serious.

Is anybody taking these two seriously? High variety of punches doesn't equal higher skillset?

Wow, you two have just taken nuthugging to a new low.

36 years old and watched boxing in the 80s?

Mate, unlike you I was a kid in the 80s but i'm not ****** enough to say I watched SRL at the age of 4.

God you're unreally dumb.

Do you know when SRL retired without looking at boxrec you moron?

Of course. But I don't count his "comeback" as SRL.

Oh well, that's logic for you.

What wisdom and knowledge coming from a guy who's watched boxing for 30 years and in all that time learned that a wide variety of punches doesn't have anything to do with skills

Please let me drink more of this knowledge water from your oasis of wisdom.

So since I watched a little past it SRL in the late 80's it doesn't count?

I was 8 years old when he fought Hagler and 10 years old when SRL was a SMW titlist.

Born in 1979. You're such a moron.

I especially like that uppercut combo to his own face he throws.....that one shows his real skills are really real. I hope to see that one in the Klitschko fight at some point.

Wow, what I said apparently when right over your thick little head.

.....why do I even try?

I digress.

You said this.

What did you say that went over my head? Your post and this subsequent response was all everyone needed to see how little you know about boxing.
