Did Tyson Fury "Expose" Wladimir Klitschko?

[Y0@NN]

No but big John Mcdermott exposed Fury long time ago.

Loooooool. That's nothing new here to be fair. Pick a fighter to win, then refuse to give credit to the opponent when he doesn't.

I expected Wlad to win, so there's nothing left to do but give Fury all the credit in the world for pulling it off.

You obviously didn't see the rematch.

Fury not only exposure Wlad as a fighter, but team Fury exposed Team Wlad from the gloves to the canvas debacle.

He didn't get exposed, he just lost. You don't go undefeated for 11 years and hold all but one of the major belts and then get exposed. Wlad is old but he got beat fair and square, full credit to Tyson.

"It's the first time Wladimir has fought someone who was the same size (or bigger) who had very astute boxing skills as well as speed, movement and youth."

People are acting like this is a common thing. Maybe 3 guys on planet earth have ever fit that description really. I don't see how that's being exposed.

If he lost to a guy who was "dumb, slow, unable to box, moves poorly and pushing 60" that would be exposed. This is just an aging fighter losing his title after 10 years.

Did Kovalev "expose" Hopkins?

You take away a lot from both fighters like that.

Kovalev is simply a phenomenal fighter and Hopkins couldn't win forever. Nobody exposed anyone.

Just for the fact that he has zero inside game is enough to say that he got exposed badly.

In the last 10 years, nobody could get near him on the inside due to his continual grabbing, hugging and decent jab. As soon as he fights someone who he can't grab, hug and jab, an inside game would have seen him through this fight. He doesn't have one and that's why he got badly exposed for the limited fighter that he is. No Heavyweight champion should be lacking an inside game. It's a crucial tool to wearing out your opponent but due to his glass jaw, Klit grabbed and hugged to protect it instead of going to the body.

4 body punches on Fury in a 12 round fight is a disgusting return for s Heavyweight Champion. All the greats of the past would not let that happen.

To lose to a fighter like Fury just shows how basic a fighter he is and that the Klitlickers overrated him to stupid levels.

Fury exposed Klit.

Likely not. Lance Armstrong was exposed. People took the new **** that came to light, retrospectively assessed his achievements and formed a new opinion on what had gone before.

For me this just affirms what no amount of acumulated statistics can distract from. Wladimir's safety first over cautious mindset stifled any potential that he had to excel at his craft. He held on for dear life with his stunted skill set in the poorest heavyweight era in living memory.

For others he's a dominant top five of all time P4P long standing champion who couldn't outrun Father Time.

I'd say we need a large volume shift of opinion for it to constitute an exposure. What we have here are hard heads continuing to butt up against each other. Same as yesterday.

No..you don't expose someone how was champ for 10 years. We all know what kind of fighters Wlad is and he was just so used to fighting smaller guys and being able to jab and lean on them to tire them out.

Fury also had a rhythm going which threw Wlad off rhythm. Fury is not a GREAT talent but he maximized his physical abilities and had a great gameplan/rhythm going.

That being said...he would lose to Ortiz, Wilder, and Joshua

Marciano exposed Joe Louis as well then obviously.
