    "with an undefeated record"

    if your best win is journeyman Derek chisora, this means you are a fringe contender and nothing more, not some real undefeated primester - your undefeated record is manufactured, and its difficult to call your prime when you've achieved little.

    No, herol, you witless wan-ker, you clearly don't know the meaning of the words you bandy.

    The dude is a TOP contender, no worse than #3 in anybody's rankings.

    Ring has him at 3 and TNBR has him at 2.

    TOP, herol, not fringe.

    (You could ask Missus Gee about what Top means. She'll explain it for you, maybe with diagrams)

    Again, comprehension fails your uneducated as$. The big fella IS undefeated and IS in his prime, so he is a real undefeated primester.

    The dictionary could be your friend.

    Thoughts...

    I think it may be a bit of a clumsy fight with holding and mauling but have a feeling that Fury will land quite often and do enough to win on points.
    Wlad hasnt been aggressive and going for 1st round KOs for a while.
    In fairness to Wlad, Fury will be his 6th undefeated opponent in his last 7 fights, but I think Fury is full of belief.

    Fury points

    It would be kinda nice if it would happen, as Fury is a fun, fun guy to watch, but I think you're going to be disappointed B.

    What's the over/under on body shots landed in this fight?

    My unbiased and fair prediction:

    Fury will try his best and he will rock Klitschko, put him on queer street, and when Fury tries to finish him off then... well, he will spark himself out with a self-uppercut.

    Wladimir by UD. I expect Fury to give it his all and fight a smart fight. He's going to try and box, move and use his reach and height to the fullest. I'll be surprised if this fight ends by stoppage for either fighter. There will be a whole lot of holding, pushing...etc. I don't expect it to be a fun fight but hell, I'll stay up for it anyway even if I'll only have 4 hours of sleep.

    Fury is underdog no doubt, but he has surprised me on a few occasions with how he adapts and changes.
    Early in his career Fury was given a very tough fight by a decent HW called John McDermott. Some felt Fury was fortunate to get the decision, but Fury was different in the return.
    I seem to recall many predicted Chisora to beat him when they were both undefeated fighters and Fury boxed well. I recall many favouring Chisora in the return and Fury boxed very disciplined and won.

    :huh

    Maybe I think Fury is alot better than people give him credit for.

    Your only as good as your last couple of fights and Fury put on a complete boxing lesson on Chisora. I don't think Chisora even landed a punch in 10 rounds of action.

    And Fury did it without any excessive clinching.

    Obviously Chisora isn't Wladmir, but I find it interesting that people who pick Klitscko are all saying it will be a KO.

    What happens if Klitcko cant KO Fury? Then what?

    Fury to his credit has a good skillset, maybe slightly uncoordinated, and he seems to get stronger as the fight goes on.

    That's a recipe for disaster for an aging champion, a young, hungry contender whose around the same size, who can fight dirty, gets up when he goes down, gets stronger in the later rounds and has endless stamina, even when he's out of shape and most importantly he's mentally very strong and also confident of victory.

    But if Wlad wins, then ill be the first to give him credit.

    Who knows, Wlad may show us something special tonight.

    But make no mistake, Fury is no Haye. Fury has a do or die attitude unlike the diva Haye.

    For the people who say Fury lacks big fight experience, I point to Rid**** Bowe.

    Prior to facing Holyfield, Bowe beat nobody of note except a controversial decision over Tubbs. But come fight, he ripped the belts from Holyfield.

    Wlad will win by later round stoppage, certain of it.

    Meaning, I don't think there will be many. Wlad doesn't, and Fury won't, at least that's how I see it.

    That's the thing, I think Fury will box Wlad, but I think he'll be conceding ground and trying to use movement to keep Wlad at distance. I don't think he'll be able to score enough points that way to win the fight, unless he lands something that hurts Wlad and changes the conplexion of the bout, which is always possible with his size and reach.

    trying to run and pot shot with weak jabs isn't the way to beat Wlad. If Fury does this after all his talk he will be a laughingstock like Haye was.

    Regardless, of where Fury is ranked, he has been protected in his rise to the top of the rankings. It used to be, a fighter would be well prepared, with an ever increasing skill set of opponent. Chisora, is a limited fighter, he always has been.

    The best skilled opponent was Cunningham, and he was limited because of his size. Yet he still managed to outbox Fury. Fury was forced to maul him to beat him. That was over 2 years ago. Furys management should have had him fighting bigger opponents. But that would risk a defeat. The ratings are a joke.

    Hate to change my prediction on the fight but I am. Have always been a Klitschko fan so I hate to change so close to the fight, I have been predicting that Klitschko would KO Fury by 4 or 5. Most likely five. However, I have to admit that looking at Fury's fights and realizing what he really does have I have decided to change my position. Have to face the facts considering Wladimir's age and all. So, here goes...I think Wladimir will KO Fury by round two.
