I do hope that Fury isn't as quick to dismiss Wladimir as a lingering relic. Maybe most are right and Wlad needs the rematch to know that it's over before he can walk off into the sunset with his big bag of misleading statistics. . . taking seat under the shade of a tall Bavarian tree and playing Number Wang.
But what if that isn't the case? Fury's already taking about a loss of motivation. That he's reached a pinnacle and doesn't see where he goes from here, plus Wladimir has faced bigger setbacks than this. Admittedly they've never been caused by a foe as big as Fury but surely being stopped and having you're older brother tell you to call it a day was a lower moment?
I'm a detractor of what Wlad brings to the ring but he's a far more experienced and more accomplished boxer than Fury. He's more skilled, although he's limited his repertoire. And he's proven adept at facing setbacks.
A return bout is a shot at redemption. If he lets his hands go then it's a whole different fight. He's not the kind of natural fighting man that Tyson is but if he comes to the ring willing to risk a stoppage to win then he's very capable of beating Fury.
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the man.

I still won cash on Fury, haha. You know why? Because I felt he would pull it off, as he did.Originally posted by denium View PostFunny how you never previously mentioned on here that you thought Fury would "pull it off".Originally posted by -Weltschmerz- View PostWell I'm a Vladimir supporter, that's why. Doesn't mean I don't see things, as I did.
Sorry, but I'm calling bull**** on that.
Before the first fight were saying the same thing as you are right now - that Wlad is far superior to Fury and would beat him easily.
Now you trying to tell us you were lying back then, and secretly backed Fury to win because you "saw things"
If that's the truth, then you must be lying about Wlad's superiority again, and planning to put another secret bet on Fury, because you haven't seen anything new from either of them since the first fight.Last edited by kafkod; 02-08-2016, 12:45 PM.

Originally posted by Strive 4 Truth View PostIm a Wlad fan but I dont agree with the whole being stripped deal. He should have been able to rematch then fill the mandatory. These sanctioning bodies are acting backwards today and its getting annoying. Gotta wonder how much Haymon is really in the ear of those behind the scenes.
