Comments Thread For: Fury: After I Beat Chisora: I Think Klitschko Avoids Me

[M Bison]

I think Fury is wrong. If Fury does win I think he (Klitschko) will target one of the easy top 10 ranked opponents like Fury or Jennings who are so out of their depth that they'll make Klitschko look like sex. Bar Stiverne Klitschko has an easy run now since destroying Povetkin and Pulev during the last 13 months. Could be a few years before Klitschko faces a stern test again.

Easy... Uhhh no, just no that is being disrespectful and its something no real pro would do to his opponent.

It baffles me how people think Fury could trouble Wlad.

I don't necessarily give Fury any more of a chance than I did Wladimir's other big-man opponents, but I'll say this - I guarantee it would be a much more entertaining (and deserving) fight than goddamn fucking Shannon Briggs. Even for pre-fight hype it would be better. Fury could come up with far better lines than "LetsgochampLetsgochampLetsgochampLetsgochamp"

I agree it would be entertaining. fury wouldnt go into a defensive shell. hed at least go down punching. my wish list is wlad vs fury and wilder. hoping to hell they both win there upcoming fights

Klitschko will obviously not take any of his future foes likely but there is no doubt about it that when on paper looking at past Wlad opponents just prior to the fights at least 20 maybe 30 of them offered far more problems than the two young upstarts Fury and Jennings.

Nobody can keep a straight face and tell me these fights below were not far tougher opposition for klitschkko.

Povetkin
Byrd
Byrd 2
Pulev
Tompson
Thompson 2
Haye
Peter
Ibragimov
Sanders
Peter 2
Chagaev
Brewster
Shultz
McCline
Mercer


Realistically Fury might be at the level of Ray Austin at his absolute best. Could he surpass that level in the future? Maybe.

The only thing Wlad will have to avoid about Fury will be which way the big goofball happens to fall after Wlad knocks him cold. And I have to ask if Fury is so popular in the heavyweight division why is his fight with Chisora buried on ESPN3.com here in the states?

If you want my honest opinion, Fury is nothing special.

Fury vs Wlad would probably be Wlads most entertaining fight tbh.
Let's be honest, Tyson is incredibly unstable. He'd go hell for leather, probably wobble Wlad, then get knocked out or disqualified.
Chisora prob goes mental & gets disqualified too

[kafkod]

what quality does fury possess that makes him most dangerous to wlad? im just not seeing it. size has never been an issue with wlad. its speed and explosiveness,,and a strong chin thats been his biggest enemy in the past and fury has none of the above

When Fury is fit and focused, which I hope he will be from now on, he moves well, has a very fast, accurate jab and hits hard enough to KO Wlad for sure. He is taller and has a much longer reach than Wlad or anyone Wlad has faced before.
Fury is also extremely physically strong and loves to ruck and maul with his opponents close up. For such a long armed guy he can shorten his punches well and throws a lot of uppercuts. Cunningham had never been Ko'd but Fury knocked him spark out with a punch which only travelled maybe 18 inches. Wlad will not be able to count on being able to clinch and take a breather with Fury the way he likes to do.
Wlad also likes to be in control of what happens in his fights and looks uncomfortable when opponents surprise him and take that control away, and Fury is a very difficult guy to predict. You just never know what he is going to do next.
I've been reading again here about Fury's suppossed "glass jaw" Here are the facts on that: He has been down twice as a pro, both times when caught square by overhand rights. Both times he got up looking more embarrassed than hurt and carried on fighting without any problems. He boxed as an amateur international at super-heavyweight while still a teenager and was never stopped or decked.
Wlad hits hard enough to KO Fury, I have no doubt about that. But Wlad hits hard enough to KO any heavyweight in the world, so punch resistance will be no more of an issue with Fury than with any other challenger.. If Wlad catches you clean, you're out, whether your name is Fury, Pulev, Wilder, or whoever.

Wlad has a better jab. Fury has poor defense, and would get KO'd by a Wlad right hand.

Seriously, if Cunningham could floor Fury, what do you think a Wlad right hand would do?

good post. at least your backing up your opinion. I do like fury's combo's on the inside for such a big man and I agree that he moves well for such a huge man as well but I disagree about his physical strength. I dont think hes all that strong for his size. he did manhandle cunningham on the inside but he was a 200lber moving up. I think wlad is much stronger than fury despite being smaller and wont have a problem on the inside. fury is game tho and wont go into a shell or quit. he'll go out fighting and have a few moments but I just dont see it being that tough a fight for wlad. hope it happens tho as I dont see it being boring
