    Lets hope so.

      Jennings doesn't have a conventional style of attack either.
      Jennings also has a monster reach to couple his awkward non-crowd pleasing style.
      Whereas Fury is a conventional fighter in every sense of the term, with an extremely limited reach...

          So you are mistaken buddy. The Wlad that showed up vs Jennings could look very different vs anyone else.
          You just mentioned some of Fury's best quan****** (monster reach, unconventional style, etc)

            I was big on something being funny about Klitschko & the only thing I had to work with was Tyson showing up Klitschko at the presser. I felt like the injury was for sure bull***** doe. Than the news came out about his wife & than I switched up my stance in light of more info. I think Mansour would probably have a different opinion if he knew of Klitschko's wife's issue.
            I suspect this is the real reason. Still, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth that he felt he needed to fake an injury to postpone a fight for other perfectly legitimate reasons. Fury pulled out of the Ustinov fight for similar reasons and no one, barring a few idiots, gave him any real criticism for it.

              You can't announce you're postponing a fight cuz "*****es be crazy" which arguably coulda been all Klitschko thought &/or knew at the time. Plus your girl isn't likely to wanna be the thing that you postponed a fight for unless she's overly selfish & attention getting or he/she/they mighta not wanted it out there at the time. I could see lotsa reasons Klitchko would rather go with a bs injury excuse over being straight up honest doe.

              Basically telling tmi to a bunch of strangers about your personal life when the lie is so much easier is just good PR. Its like a lite version of the classic example where a celeb goes into the hospital for "exhaustion" when really he/she was coked up to the gills. No one really needs to know your personal **** like that let alone your wifes personal **** or how it affected your fight &/or fight preparation in this case.

                He didn't have to tell every last detail about it. A simple statement to the effect that his wife was seriously ill and he'd chosen to spend time with her till she was better would have sufficed. There's very little Tyson, his team, or his supporters could have said to that since, as was mentioned, Tyson pulled out of a fight for similar reasons. Faking an injury makes him look extremely bad since it smacks of cowardice or gamesmanship. Not good PR at all.

                  I'd suggest you & I are in the minority of people who think Klitschko is faking the whole injury thing & I'd suggest we are even in a smaller minority of people who gave an inch of f#ck about it in the first place lol. So its not a bad move or bad PR at all cuz few are thinking like we are & even fewer care enough to think twice about this situation.

                  This is kinda like the Mayweather IV thing divided by 200. No one without an agenda cared about that situation. No one really cares about this situation & its like 200x less important &/or attention worthy than the Mayweather IV situation.

                  And either way its not cowardice or gamemanship. If its a legit injury its a legit injury & if its more to do with his wife doing &/or saying crazy **** (believe Brooke Shields said she thought about killing her kid when she had postpartum depression & many people have successfully done just that with this medical issue) while it eventually becoming known she was suffering from postpartum depression than I can't dog the guy over that. I mean he possibly just thought his wife was losing her ****. I'd assume its very likely they didn't know wtf was going on at first. And you just don't wanna announce your wife, the famous actress, might be going crazy so you are canceling your fight while you try to sort that out a lil bit.

                    Oh, come off it. You'd be happy if Fury became HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION?

                      This ^^^^.

                      You're wasting your time with that guy, though - he's a Fury troll.
