Comments Thread For: Holyfield Tabs Klitschko: If Tactics Change, He'll Beat Tyson Fury

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former undisputed world cruiserweight and heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield knows a thing or two about winning rematches. Holyfield lost his heavyweight world titles to Michael Moorer and Rid**** Bowe, and later avenged those defeats in rematches.

Last month, potentially in the biggest upset this year. Tyson Fury ended the decade long reign of heavily favored Wladimir Klitschko. Fury won a twelve round unanimous decision to win the WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF world titles.

Perhaps if they try to use that spongy ring like they did the first time things might change. Otherwise Wlad might actually have to use his legs, you know, other than to lean in and clinch repeatedly.

It must be hard for holyfield to keep a straight face when commenting on fights like that, given the way he fought.

Yea soon as the ring was changed he was not effective at all

Not unreasonable to think that Wlad could take the rematch as Tyson had virtually no output as well. I'm not picking Wlad after his last two fights though as I thinkhe's mentally done with the game. If he comes in like he did with Pulev, he'll KO Fury. I just don't think his mind is in that place anymore.

It's well established that the words of the fighters are nearly invariably worthless when it comes to analysis.

However Holyfield consistently has provided some of the most intelligent and accurate insights through the ages.

Of course he is right.

Wladimir coming back stronger and winning the rematch is 75% chance what's gonna happen.

I will never ridicule anybody for going against Wladimir in a match up again however as I didn't think Fury stood any chance of surviving let alone winning.

Basically if Wladimir manages to throw more than 10 punches per minute, he wins

Kind of agree here..

He wiped the board with Povetkin and Pulev who were the 2 most serious threats with guys like Jennings, Fury and Wilder being merely house-keeping fights.

Unfortunately he began TREATING them as house-keeping fights too. And paid the price.

He should have retired after Pulev squeaky clean and it would have been assumed he could have simply trashed the rest of the division anyway.

The Wlad that beat Pulev was probably the last peak of the mountain, even if he DOES beat Fury in the rematch.

It will probably be equivalent of Ali beating Spinks in the rematch. He never should have lost in the first place.
