Wladimir wants Fury in 2013

I think Fury could do fine.

He will lose, but he'll do fine

 

This would be an interesting fight if fury keeps improving the way he has been

 

Complete and utter domination by Wlad. Fury should face someone like Price first and in the (unlikely) event he comes through that, work his way towards someone like Arreola. He doesn't have much chance against Arreola imo, let alone Wlad.

 

I agree. I wonder if Ty is still growing? I think you're right that Tyson will be better when he's 30.

However, I'd like to see someone (Tyson? Robbe? Mago?) seriously challenge Wlad before he goes senile. Can Tyson put on enough muscle and skill by next year? Wlad will be 37 by then. Lewis was 39 and some people here were saying Vitali beat him up so bad only because Lennox was getting old.

But I do agree Tyson will reach his prime closer to 30.

 

I agree. Price and Arreola would be a good warm-up. And, like you say, if Fury gets past them.

 

I'd rather he faced Fury than another shot or much smaller fighter. How either Klit never faced Valuev I'll never know.

 

From fighting (and losing to) Wlad, Fury will learn more than he has learned so far in his entire career. Young fighters should be salivating to get an opportunity to face the only available ATG (taken Viatali retires in September) out there while it lasts.

 

David Who? Price is a measuring stick now for other fighters, it seems

 

Thanks Champ. I stand corrected.

Even if Tyson loses to Wlad, which I think he will if he fights him next year, it won't hurt his resume that much because he'll have the excuse/reason that he's green. But if he was to get lucky and win, WOW.

I like both fighters, so either way I'll both win and lose.

 

Definitely! I agree. Only drawback would be a possible brain scrambling, but that's boxing. You've got to take your chances when you get them.

 

2014 for Fury would be ideal.

Let his body mature, gain more experience, learn more craft
and come in when he's is absolutely ready, not just maybe ready.

 

It's best if Fury fights him in 2013, even if he's going to lose. Tyson's still young, and by fighting Wlad early, there's a lot he could learn that could help him in the future.

Let's not forget, Wlad has shown he's willing to give rematches. The longer Tyson waits to fight him, though, the less chance he'll be able to work himself into one before Wlad retires. The game for Tyson should be to develop as much as possible, fight Wlad at the end of 2013, and then gun for a rematch. If he doesn't want the rematch, he'll at least have a leg up on the other young contenders who won't take the risk of fighting Wlad and won't have that experience to draw on.

 

agree.

Fury won't take the fight, not for a few years, yet.

 

fury should stay away from wlad for a while longer, like others have said, i think hes on the right track but there no need to jump in and get dominated which at this point i think he would. maybe 2014 is a realistic time, he needs to fight the klits leftovers first to compare and see how he does.
