The Klitschkos may make opponents sign bull**** contracts but at least Wlad didn't wait until the night before the fight to throw a completely bogus rant about "safety" and refuse to fight unless his opponent was banned from wearing the gloves he wanted.

      Fighters have chose their opponent's gloves forever. It was Mayweather basically deciding to walk if he didn't get his way on fight day that was the b*tchiest of b*tch moves.
      I can agree to this.

      But choosing another mans gloves is a diva move regardless.

        I can't go against what you've said earlier, Fury is not really the most entertaining heavyweight fighter inside the ring... It's his character that I like

            But you had a really good point, Fury's last couple of fights were not very exciting. Hell, Wilder's last few fights were more entertaining than Fury.

            I just want Klitschko to lose, so the heavyweight division can open up. Klitschko is too good at cheating and boring the crowd.

            If anyone deserves all the belts or at least Klitschko's belts it should be Povetkin.

              Why did the poll close so early?

              I was going to say Fury by KO.

              I honestly think he has a legitimate shot.

              I just rewatched the Fury-Hammer fight, as well as the Wlad.-Pulev fight.

              Wlad is obviously a heavy, heavy favorite.

              Fury does have youth going for him.

              Fury can get pretty sloppy, but I think he'll be disciplined in this fight.

              Fury actually boxes well, has fast hands, moves really well, and fights well going backwards.

              Fury won't win a decision, but he could catch Klit. and knock him out.

              It is not entirely likely, but there is a legitimate chance of it.

              Never say never on winning a decision, he could well out work him, but logic says Wlad. will have the advantage on winning rounds. Given Fury's defensive lapses, Wlad. will just as likely knock him out.

              Fury will definitely have to fight the fight of his life, but that's merely stating the obvious.

              I forgot to mention, Wlad. basically always fights the same way. It is very effective for him, but it just might work against him here.

                I don't agree with boxers having that much control, champion or not, in a sport which is suppose to be regulated.

                But we all know what the state of regulation is, so what do you expect.

                Have you ever heard of a tennis player choosing an opponent's racket?

                There are rules, and if the rules allow the glove, the 'a-side' fighter should have no say.

                But boxing doesn't work that way.

                  I go against it, I just watched the Hammer fight, and I thought it was a good fight.

                  I remember liking the Chisora fight, as well.

                  Comparing Fury to Klitschko in terms of boredom is laughable at best.

                    His last fight wasn't competitive, but Fury takes risks, throws combos, turns lefty to land cracking left hands; it's impressive also to see a guy so big move around the ring like he does and fight off the back foot.

                    He is not exactly Ali, but he does some impressive things.

                      and then saying he would win every round agaisnt the 2nd best heavyweight on earth.

                      someones been on the

                      even charr and perez have better win's than fury

                      on a serious note, i really hope he can make it competitive agaisnt klit, i just dont see how, it's too big a step up from fighting journeyman to fighting the greatest heavyweight of our era.

                      you would of thought his team would at least put him in with a b/c level guy or at least a step up from christian fkin hammer
                      Considering the fact that the second best in the division is Fury, can he beat himself? I guess he can.

                      Don't you know better than to judge a fighter based solely on their resume?

                      Fury is a perfect storm of a fighter for the division. He has the size, ring IQ, speed, ring generalship, power, and chin to dominate unchecked. The only thing he lacks is experience against elite opposition, and that will come in time by default.

                      Povetkin gets stopped late.
