'Pacquaio should have won' - Holyfield on Mayweather vs Pacquaio.



That's about as much credibility this crackhead has nowadays.

This time though I think it's more 75% Wlad, 25% Fury.

Wlad will never beat Tyson Fury as long as he's got a hole in his arse. Fury is too good.

[Tobi.G]

Wlad will drag this out for about a year. He will fake an injury then reschedule for sometime around November in the hopes that Fury loses his edge and gets frustrated and doesnt train hard not believing the fight will happen.

Klitschko is 39, he should rematch Fury as soon as possible. If he drags it out it could backfire on him.

Yeah plenty of good reasons to back Fury again this time round, well noted.

Smart money is still on Klitschko.

This time though I think it's more 75% Wlad, 25% Fury.

Can Wlad change the way he fights ? I don't know

Fury had his number and has his number still. I would be happy if I could believe that wlad could Change his fighting tactics. I like Wladimir. He's gotten so used to his Punch-and-hold style of boxing in the last 10 or so years that I doubt the results of the rematch will be very much different. I don't think tyson has the skills to KO wlad (despite wlad's doubtable chin), but wlad won't be able to get on inside unless he starts to train for now. Game-as-usual Training camp won't do it for wlad I'm sorry to say.

... and if he can land a few of those thrown, he wins... with the emphasis on "if"

[bojangles1987]

If he comes out aggressive, it's certainly possible he stops Fury. Thing is, Fury will expect that and if Wlad doesn't get that early KO, he will be gassed by the 5th and might be stopped himself.

There are reasons why Wlad started fighting the way he does, and a big reason is he can't sustain an active pace. That's certainly not going to change at his age unless he juices hardcore.

I don't think Wladcan change his style. He got used to winning that way, and now he is gonna have to change... Old dog new tricks.

When Lennox lost, it was because he got caught with good shots.

Wlad is gonna have to catch fury with a big shot.

It is gonna be tough to find sparing partners as big as fury, etc.

But, Wlad might have gotten the wake up call he needed.

Let's see.

I believe fury wins again.

[Elroy1]

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.

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.
