Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko-Tyson Fury: Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The next wave is arriving.

When 39-year old Wladimir Klitschko turned professional almost two decades ago, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, and Lennox Lewis were the top of the division. He didn’t develop fast enough to get in on that action but through hard work, longevity, and dominance became their heir. Inevitably, he is closing in on the time when he joins them as part of fistic lore.

Earlier this year, he got by a 30-year old Bryant Jennings and before that a then-33 year old Kubrat Pulev. Tyson Fury (27) is the first in a wave that could, if Klitschko keeps winning, encompass Anthony Joshua (26) and Joseph Parker (23). WBC beltholder Deontay Wilder just turned 30.

I was wondering the same thing during weigh-in. Many people are saying that Fury slouches, that's why they look the same height. If that's the case, poor posture and the inability to stand up straight doesn't bode well for the Gypsy douchebag. Also, is it possible for for Fury's reach to be exaggerated as well?

Wlad was wearing elevator insoles. Check the photo in my sig. Fury is taller than Wlad. He isn't 6 9 doe. Maybe around 6 8.

As entertaining as Fury is, I don't see how he plans to win. He's not going to muscle Clutchko and he can't outbox Dr. Steel Hammer. Anything can happen, but it will have to be special for Fury.

Wow they didn't even give the speed advantage to Fury?

I think the height difference is that Fury is more than likely about 6 ft 8 inches, and if you look , Furys head ROUNDS UPWARDS toward the back of his skull a lot so it rises almost an inch and half high than the front part of his head .

So when measured the top at the back of Furys is actually much higher than the front of his head.

I'm surprised the writer of the article didn't realize that wlad was wearing elevator insoles, though he mentioned the possibility only to then continue on as if it's fact that they are the same height. Fury is taller ... fact.

Anyway it won't matter as Wlad has got this one imo. But if you're going to write an analysis at least get your facts right.
