Tyson Fury has a much better chin than Wladimir Klitschko

[The Hammer]

Prediction for the fight if it happens?

I think Klitschko wins.

But you never know, Wlad is getting older and he'll be the smaller man. Fury will be a very difficult fight.

[Japanese Badass]

Fury has height and weight over Wlad that's it.

I made this thread to challenge the fanboys who continue to claim Wlad has a better chin when statistics clearly do not support this. Klitschko has been dropped more than 6x as much and stopped 3x as much as Fury. His fans then claim that it's because Wlad's fought more fights but Wlad was dropped and KO'd more in near the same amount of fights that Fury has had against overall weaker competition.
They will talk up the men who dropped and KO'd Wlad as if they were some fearsome powerpunching great fighters but the truth is they were mediocrities.
Purrity was a bum with a 31-20 career record and 50% KO
Sanders was an old fat chinless 4 round fighter who in spite of spending his entire career fighting a long line of tomato cans in south Africa only had a 67% KO. Notoriously glass chinned Hasim Rahman absorbed all of the hardest blows from Sanders and KO'd him. Wlad was the only world class HW that Sanders ever KO'd.
Brewster was one of the most awful titleists in the worst period in the history of the division. He was beaten by Clifford ****ing Etienne, only notable win was beating a shot 37 yr old Golota.
Peter never KO'd a top 25 HW in his entire career and needed a robbery to beat a 40yr old obese MW.
Fury is lightyears better than any of these bums and would have beaten all of them easily.
Wlad's chin is still the same as it's always been he just fights very safety first clinches excessively and refuses to engage.

What is Wladimir going to do? Is he going to do what is necessary to beat Fury that is aggressively stalk him, force him on the back foot, take risks and fight on the inside of the bigger man's reach in order to try and score a stoppage? No of course he won't, he's no Lennox Lewis. He hasn't the skills nor the balls to do any of that.

personally,,I see this going very much like his first fight with tony thompson. he'll have some struggles with fury's range and awckwardness but will eventually crack thru and take fury out

Klitschko would ko this bum.

Sanders obliterates Fury. Peter probably beats him too.

Fury has been matched carefully to date - against small, feather-fisted punchers.

LOL yeah just like he obliterated Nate Tubbs and Hasim Rahman Sanders was a 40/1 underdog for a good reason. A fat bloated one trick pony with no defense, glass chin, terrible cardio and overrated power. He was a fringe contender at best. Sanders just exposed some things about Wlad: He's scared of getting hit, he can't fight or think when he's hurt, his chin is glass, he has no ability whatsoever to fight on the backfoot and he lacks heart. Peter was terrible as well, an extremely slow 2 bit brawler who had no defense and couldn't box to save his life. Peter was outboxed by a 40yr old obese MW and never KO'd a top 25 HW in his entire career.

The Fury of today beats the version of those guys when they fought Wlad handily. He'll also beat Wlad if Wlad decides to honour his mando and fight him later this year. Tyson hasn't even come close to his peak either at only 26yrs old, he's improving every fight.

I've liked Fury for a long time. I'm a big fan of Hennesey, they know fan friendly fighters, Froch, Fury....Galahad's coming along well

I thought Fury had blown his chance of a career after rejecting Steward as a trainer. I felt Steward would guarantee Fury success at HW.

This was before Peter Fury came on the scene, what a difference. Fury is looking so strong now & is only improving. He's fighting smarter than ever & learning his craft.

The fight with Wlad will be a huge step up in class. Wlad is underrated, he's brilliant at what he does

If Fury can set the pace of the fight & get Wlad's respect then he's well on the way to an upset.
Fury can brawl but Wlad is refined, he can take that step back always maintaining distance.
If Wlad is able to control the distance then he'll eventually punch through Fury
With Steward(RIP) in his corner there's no way Fury would beat Wlad at present.
With Banks & Peter Fury doing the work respectively it's far more open

I'd love Fury to win.
If Fury won he would instantly become a great & favourite in the division. I'd also hope that he'd leave Haye out in the cold & force Haye to take 3 tough fights to test himself
