Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Confident Klitschko vs. Fury Will Happen

The difference is Klitschko has noting to prove. He is the WBA,IBF,WBO & Ring Heavyweight champion of the world.

It's not his fault he has been so dominant. He beat Povetkin, he beat Haye. Who else could he have fought?

Klitschko looked at these two rising Americans. Jennings and Wilder as an opportunity to return to New York for a couple of fights, Make some money and unify the belts. That's what the wants to do. If he has to give some step aside money to Fury, so be it

Fury has nothing that Wladimir wants.

Wilder has something that Wladimir wants. That WBC Championship belt.

He also wants to earn some money and kudos with the fans while winning that belt. Unifying the HW division would be the crowning achievement of Wlad's career. He wants to do it in a big fight against a credible opponent, and Haymon needs a return on the money he's invested in Wilder.

Outside of hard core boxing fans, Wilder is still unknown. The pathetic turn-out for his hometown victory parade after winning his paper title proves that.

Haymon will be looking to raise Wilder's profile with defences and KO wins over "Bum Squad" type opponents before putting him in with Wlad. This could give Fury a window of opportunity to tempt Vlad into defending against him before going after Wilder.

Fury vs Wlad would be a huge fight in Germany or the UK. Warren seems optimistic about making it happen this year. I hope he is right about that.

What's the difference between his last opponents and Wladimir's last opponents other than Povetkin?

Chisora was more proven than Pulev.

Pulev would beat Fury rather easily, that's one difference.

Klitschko needs just two more fights after Jennings to seal his legacy:

Tyson Fury
Deontay Wilder

After that, he'll be over 40 and ready for retirement.

I'm hoping either Klitschko-Fury or Klitschko-Wilder will happen this year.

I think Klitschko-Fury is more likely, because Warren and Hennessy are not as over-protective of their fighters like Al Haymon and they know it will be a MASSIVE payday for Fury (a very profitable PPV in the UK I'm sure).

I have a bad feeling Klitschko-Wilder will never happen as Haymon and Wilder will milk that WBC title for a long time with opponents like Szpilka.

tbh i think he just went down against cunningham in order to absorb the impact , he wasnt hurt.

Pulev would beat Fury rather easily, that's one difference.

Pulev fights at long range behind his jab. Fury has a longer range and better footwork. He would beat Pulev on points, without any doubt.

Pulev vs Chisora would be a very interesting fight.
