Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

[RED REP]

Watch it as in suggesting I haven't. Nice one, I'll get around to watching it some day, thanks for the suggestion.

For the record Wlad states he was not a born fighter, rather a molded fighter. What the fcuk has Vitali to do with anything in this thread ?

You'll love the film. How haven't you seen it?!

[Weltschmerz]

No need to take too much from 'The Gloves are Off'. Fury is his joking self, Vlad his cool and calculated self.

Much like it may look like in the ring.

[The Hammer]

I'm thinking Klitschko will stop Fury late, in a rough fight.

When was the last heavyweight fight that had a thread going on for this many views and posts on BoxingScene?

You think this is unique and bizarre wait until Wlad fights Joshua, every Brit on the forum will be posting for Joshua. It will be unparalleled.

There was more interest in Haye-Klitschko.

But, still, the Brits lose their heads when they have a fighter going for a world title.

How do you see Fury fighting, style wise? Will he try to counter Wlad, or take the centre of the ring and push him back?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's nice to see a heavyweight fight create this much attention, excitement and debate.

Would be better if 95% of it wasn't going over the same topics and arguments over and over though...

I think about 150 pages ago at least, I remember debating with Fury fans getting green k off them and it was a good, balanced and fair debate and telling the fight for what it is. In my view nothing has really changed, yet people are still recycling and if anything the Fury fans have become a bit deluded or exaggerated to say the least with some of their statements.

I think we're all in agreement and frustration this fight has been delayed for longer than has been needed and for the most part that is Wlad's fault, he had two months to come to agreement and took the full sixty days then announced at the end of that the fight would be official for four months after, with the injury another month, so all in seven full months since he last fought, not good enough, that's worse than Floyd. Fury fans will have had to wait nine months to see there man in action, and realistically he hasn't had a competitive fight in nearly three years since the Cunningham episode, which was obviously meant to be a walk over.

The exaggerations can not be help on their part, they need to the hyperbole to cling to something to believe their man actually has a chance, I won't knock them for retaining hope, it's the sense of zero reality I find peculiar though.

I loved the gloves are off, I thought it was hilarious. Wlad was actually really funny, the part where his face broke and he could barely contain his laughter I thought was out of character. Fury seemed agitated and appeared to grit his teeth that Wlad refused to accept the nonsense story he was telling, as if he was upset he would not go along with the hyperbole. Made great viewing, Wlad truly can not be ruffled.

These casuals are nauseating.

I think a lot of them are just soccer fans that come from supporting clubs that have been starved of success so they turn to the no.1 guy in their country in said respective division, which usually for the Brits simply does not equate to best in the world in the division. Don't get me wrong I have noting against blind patriotism, I just find it cringeworthy and nauseating, these Dirk's and Laced's of boxing scene are certainly fun to have around, I would not enjoy it half as much if they were not here.

It's not just brits though is it? the blind patriotism of puerto ricans towards Cotto i've seen on here is equally as "nauseating". As it was with people from the Philippines or who descend from there towards Manny Pacauiao, they might have been the worst for it. And many, many others.
