Let me just make one thing clear, Wladimir Klitschko is not shot.
A year ago, Wladimir KO'd Pulev who at the time was considered the second best HW in the world. After it happened, people claimed that this was the best ever version of Wladimir, that he matures like a fine wine. Many people put him straight into their top three p4p fighters.
Then he fought Jennings, not as impressive a performance by any means, but he still won every round pretty easily.
Now onto his latest fight. Tyson Fury is a fighter who takes his opponents best weapons away from them. Against Chisora, he fought the entire fight southpaw, took away Chisora's best weapon (his big overhand right) and make him look very limited. NSB then decided that Chisora was shot, despite Chisora being on the best win streak of his career.
Against Wladimir, Fury again took away his best weapon (his jab) with constant feints and head movement. This again made Wlad look very limited and of course, NSB said he's shot.
There's a pattern appearing here. People need to recognise the skill of Tyson Fury. Put Wladimir in against a Povetkin or a Wilder and see what happens. No other HW understands the sport like Fury and the technicalities behind it. He understands angles, can control distance etc.
The only way of beating Tyson Fury is to knock him out, you won't win a decision against him.
