Tyson Fury has got more talent than Wladimir Klitschko

Klitschko hater tactic 102: group Wlad and Vitali together as one fighter

I'm not a Klitschko hater at all. I've stated many times that he's the best HW in the world, and would probably knock Fury out cold if they do fight.

I just get irritated by some of Wlad's fans like Cut Man who classify Fury as a "Bum" without any facts or analysis to support their claim.

[mlac]

what a joke im not even a wlad fan but GTFO

are you being serious?

you are seriously comparing a world champion unbeaten for the last 10 + years who is one of the top 10 heavyweights of all time with...

an unbeaten heavyweight who has A) never fought anyone of note B) punched HIMSELF in the face and C) in his last fight was instructed by the refferee HOW TO JAB.

... lol

[boliodogs]

I voted Wlad and I didn't think it was close. Fury might be the 2nd best heavyweight in the world and unlike Wilder he will fight any top heavyweight. He is a loadmouth clod but he has an excellent record and deserves a shot at Wlad unlike Briggs.

I'm sorry but Tyson Fury looked like **** in his last fight. I can't stand people saying "he boxed masterfully." He had a zombie punching bag in front of him that he held up for 10 rounds. He played paddy cake with Chisora until Derrick quit. Wow, what talent on display

[KnockoutNed]

Tyson Fury is certainly not a bum. He has good skills for his size.

To answers OPs question I would say yes Fury is more talented. He has shown the ability to box on the inside as well on the outside,moves well for his size, good stamina, can effectively switch to southpaw, throws quick combos and utilizes a greater variety of punches. His chin is weak tho but Klitschko has a weak chin too.

Klitschko I see as a good but very limited fighter. In lieu of any ability to fight on the inside, he hugs tightly to the opponents and his cardio is not very good. He only has 3 effective punches in his entire arsenal. I also believe that he lacks a true fighter's heart. If the opponent is bold and goes after Klitschko, he panics. Last opponents I saw doing that were Sanders, Brewster and Peter and we saw the problems he had.

Fury could very well be his best opponent he has fought in his entire 19 year career(possibly speaking to how poor the HW division has been in many years).

hilarious stuff

is fury is slick then wach and wilder are slick too

these lumbering clumsy tall guys are a dime a dozen... wlad has coordination like a welter

Simply put, Fury is slicker , brings more variety to the table and has a much more developed ( but sometimes clumsy) defense.

There is a 10cm reach disadvantage for Wladimir in this fight, and he is indeed 8 cm shorter.

Fury is no Wach, and James Ai Bashir must be DELUSIONAL to say that he was more worried about Wach than he would be against Fury.

Fury moves very well for a big man. He started early and one thing he was taught (evidently) was to develop the punches, the ranges and and to use his legs. Fury even does some things defensively that are part of the bare knuckles tradition that have been lost to modern fighters....he knows how to parry punches, pick punches off and to grapple well. He beat Cunnigham using his weight and leverage.

Its ironick really...Fury likes to come off as a meat and potatoes type "boxing is about will and I am the more willful one yada yada" but he has tremendous potential and analytical ability....He is the only present heavyweight that I can see that can adapt to circumstances in the ring as they develop...what some call adaptive reactive, what I would call "responsive" as a more general characteristic of combat fluency. hes also an intelligent human being and probably has analytical fight skills that are underestimated considerably. The Klits are not adaptive in the ring! David Haye is not adaptive in the ring, Chisora is not adaptive in the ring. Fury indeed stands alone in this respect.

its hard to compare him. he has shown a capacity to find a way to win which is tremendous and speaks well of him when he chooses to step up. haye really fvkeed him up with the cancellations...Fury would have benefitted tremendously win or lose fighting haye.

Compare them at a similar age. 2000 Klit that fought Monte Barrett vs 2012 Fury who fought K. Johnson. I'd say Fury looked much better.

I don't know why but Wlad fanboys always gotta exaggerate.

Anything below heavy with that coordination would be awful.

Hard to say really. I think Fury can do more things (fight inside, change stance..), but I also think that the things they both do, Wlad does it much better - like jab, straights, hooks, leg work.

Wlad would be a favourite when they fight, but I agree this is the huge fight and possibly the biggest challange since Peter.

Leg work? really? I know realize why there is such a schism regarding Vlad: there must be 3 klit brothers two named vlad because the Vlad I know is not known for his legwork by any stretch.
