Comments Thread For: Fury Provides Another Chance To Appreciate Klitschko

[kafkod]

yea,,,sure dude. wlad doesnt control the range with his jab and footwork or throw the right hand dead straight down the pipe off the jab,,,,,,or hook off the jab with speed and power. he just uses his size to clinch to victory. you either know little about boxing or havent seen anything but the povetkin fight

Fury can throw accurate shots, with both hands, while moving backward or to either side.

Wlad can't do that. He moves well, but he can't punch and move at the same time, unless he's stepping foreward.

Wlad does a few things really well, and other things, not at all. Fury is much more versatile and adaptable.

Some valid points. Wladimir IS an unappreciated champ.

And underrated. I get that the opposition isn't so hot and his style isn't great to watch. But he's been on top now for about 10 years. He's been, he's been down, he learned and hasn't looked back. Just keeps knocking off the new kid on the block, one by one. And is still going. Number one pound for pound today, in my opinion.

What a nice article about the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.

Tyson Fluff Fury quite the average brit bum

Tyson Fluff Fury has little boxing ability and gets by on that lumbering size 6'9" and soft 270 lb body of flab to beat down smaller weaker opponents. No real skill or talent in Fluff Fury just a lumbering large soft OAF.

That happens when you clinch more than you punch .

Funny how Fitz, Yoz, and it seems a bunch of fans conveniently forget that little inconvenient reality. What gets me too, is how Fitz is basically putting up Wlad's size as some kind of accomplishment. The guy is the size he is. His maker did that, not him. And he too has had several bums in with him as part of that 18+ defenses. And then he mentions the Byrd fights like it was some brilliant achievement. Byrd was always small for a HW, but still he fought Wlad. Lost, mind you, but he still went in there and tried against someone who outweighed him 40-50 lbs. Hey, I salute Wlad. He's had some good wins, but geez he isn't GOAT for chrissakes.

This guy is probably the worst writer on their staff

on what exactly? Whether Frazier should be in the HOF?

On wlad vs fury.

The guy once said: "Is Frazier really HOF material?"

[RA Rugged Man]

Yes he is. Wladimir is technically limited. He wins fights due to his size, power and cheating tactics aka leaning and grabbing his opponents.

If you can't see this, you're clearly a mong.

People dive at Wlad's legs man. Not hard to understand. No one stands in front of him; If they did they would die. They try to get low to get inside. Povetkin was one of the worst at doing this. Same with Jennings. They dive at his knees. Hell Jennings was literally trying to win by DQ by grabbing Wlad underneath and trying to make it look like Wlad was holding him. Wlad was looking at the ref like "what the hell do I do?" Im not saying Wlad doesnt clinch, but have you ever watched the Lewis vs. Klitschko fight? Do you agree with how that was reffed? 9 clinches per round from Lewis and then allowed to hold and hit after he instigated the clinch. Do you think Lewis should have been DQ'ed?

Well Joe Frazier only fought 22 Heavyweights in his career. In that time he only had 17 HW wins. Most were bums. He did beat Ali. That win alone is what you are putting him in the HOF for, unless you're giving him credit for his HW title defenses against Terry Daniels....a part time fighter who 3 months earlier lost to a guy named Jack O'Halloran. Jack O'Halloran. Can you imagine if Wlad defended his title against a guy who lost 3 months prior to a guy named Jack O'Halloran? Jack O'Halloran...3 months before Terry Daniels got a title shot against Joe Frazier knocked Terry Daniels out in 4 rounds.

Look the HOF is kinda a joke and he beat Ali? However, what HW win are you going to give him credit for? He lost twice to Ali and lost twice to Foreman and other than that beat bums named Terry Daniels who had lost 3 months earlier to Jack O'Halloran.
