"Wlad got old overnight" putting this BS to bed

[intoccabile]

It was only a year earlier that he knocked out Pulev, and the likes of Fat Dan from ESPN had him down as the #1 p4p fighter in the world.

People seem to forget his very lackluster performance against Jennings. It happens. Are you new to the sport? Fighters put on the performance of their lives only to look like **** for the rest of their careers afterward when they're older. It happens all the time.

It's total BS and it's usually from people that hate Tyson Fury. WLad, for the previous 2-3 years has been WRECKING American and world champions one after the other. Fury is a bad match up for Wlad. Wlad is used to fighting power punchers he can time and out jab, not high rate boxer movers.

I don't know why people cannot give Wlad credit he deserves, and also give Fury the props he deserves.

One of the few things I agree with Dan Rafael about: If Wlad were American he would be as big of a star as Floyd Mayweather..most of the hate is envy

He had a bad performance but was still able to win almost every round. He also landed a right hand late in the fight that nearly dropped Jennings.

He didn't get old overnight no.

Had he lost a step from his prime, yes but he was still very good no doubt.

Fury just had a great game plan and style and put it to work that's all there is to it.

Fury is hated though so many will refuse to ever give him credit. Just the way it is

He won every round, and Jennings came to survive, not win.

Wlad is physically fine, Fury just mentally broke him. It happens all the time.

This.

As big John Fury correctly stated. Fury could win 50 world titles and he still wouldn't get the respect he deserves.

Wladimir would beat any HW in the world not named Tyson Fury right now!

Yes he did get old. He can't pull the trigger & his timing & pop in his punches is waning..

This was evident against Jennings too. The guy is 40! Do you think he was at is peak? Ever heard the saying that you can get old in one fight? Well over two he has looks old..

Again HE IS 40! It was the same with Holmes. He lost to Spinks twice after dominating for years. Signs were there against Carl Williams & James Smith that he was slowing. It is only natural.

And he also had lackluster fights in his absolute prime.

That's definitely a sad myth. Completely untrue.

Look at Wilder. Spectacular KO artist but can barely fill his home town.
