Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Hope Tyson Fury Beats Wladimir Klitschko

[LacedUp]

I don't see why people are convinced K2 will win? They've lost bids in the past. Also, if Hearn comes in and throws PPV money around how could thy possibly compete? They can't. But also, I think they'd be happy to take an 80% cut and fight in the UK. Why not?

That's simply not true.

There are certain fighters Klitschko gets full crédit for who they were. Byrd, Peter, Haye & Ibragimov, Brock etc. he doesn't get full credit for beating Chambers for some reason. But he gets it from me. Now take Haye for instance. Called a cruiser bum by K fans before the bout but now want credit for beating him. Hmm..

People don't give Klitschko credit for beating guys like Mormeck, Wach, Pianeta, Leapai, Rahman, Peter II etc because they aren't good fighters and certainly hasn't done anything to warrant a title shot. They were just lucky because Klitschko needed opponents.

That being said, I think Fury is the biggest threat for Wlad, certainly since Haye and maybe even further back because of a few reasons. Wlad pushing 40 and let's be honest, not really looking great lately. Fury being longer, taller and possibly quicker at this stage and coming into his prime. Whether he wins or loses against Wlad he'll be amongst world titles in the future.

If Wlad beats Fury convincingly I feel it's a great feather in his cap.

Who has Fury fought that would give credence to him being 'a great feather in his cap' ?

I also like how you've changed Wlad 'hasn't looked good' to 'not really looking great lately' lately being him winning fights 119-104 and 118-109 lol.
