      What is great about this man regardless is the fact that he says, 'of course I have plans for my life after my boxing career' ... same with Vitali ... how many champs have we seen fade into obscurity, idleness and misery after their active career?

        As if Hearn would ever put AJ in with Wladimir Klitschko. You should be thanking Fury on bended knee for single-handedly reviving the HW division.

        A disgrace to our sport lol? Why? Because he says what's on his mind and not what Eddie Hearn tells him to?

        ****.

          even odds fight at the bookies.

          I wish this feeling that Wlad has no chance was reflected by them. He could obviously still absolutely chin Fury if he connects right.

            i like wlad ive been accused of being a "klittard" but... the guy is washed up. he looked like crap.

            if he wins this one he should go out on a high note and still retire
            This, I agree he should retire If he finishes Fury its evident that age is starting to catch up with him just like it started to show with Vitali its now happening with Wladimir be ashame to see one of the best heavyweights retire but it'd be worse to see him carry on for no good reason.

              I'm an ardent critic of Klitschko and I'll be forever grateful to Fury for ending his reign. I finally gave up any hope that Klitschko would progress beyond the foundation that he and Manny Stewart laid down to salvage his career as long ago as the Ibragimov fight.

              To his credit he's stopped us from witnessing what surely would have been the worst carousel of heavyweight no marks to ever win the crown had he not reigned over the division. In terms of training and professionalism to anyone that cares to take note, as far as the heavyweight division goes there's the pre Wladimir era and the post Wladimir era.

              What's he brought to the ring stylistically though for me was beyond tedious. With that said, for a critic like myself this is his shot at redemption. He needs to do what he hasn't done for a very long time and find the man that was once willing to risk being knocked out to win a fight. He capitulated in his last outing. Even I found that unpleasant to witness.

              This isn't even about whether he wins or not. I want to see him come out and fight like a champion. Which he's rarely done for me. He owes it to the sport and at this point he owes it to himself. Win or lose, walk away with pride.

                Wlad should come out of his shell and throw that right hand when he is in range.. Last fight he did not throw the right even when he was in range a few times.. Fury had him chasing all evening last time.. I don't see Fury doing anything different this time around, but it all boils down to Fury's weight at the weigh-in, if he is over 250+ pounds he cannot run all night but has to stand and trade which is not Wlad's style.. But Wlad has more chance of knocking Fury out than the other way around..

                  I like Wlad and am a long time fan, but right now he is just in the way of this new wave of unbeaten, tall fighters.

                  The Fury, Wilder, Joshua trio is something to look forward to.

                    Win, lose or draw, it's time for Wladimir to hang them up. A 40 year old HW champion? Nah, it's time to pass the torch.
