We'll see. I suspect Wilder is the bigger draw and will be Fury's #1 option after a Klitscho rematch - that is unless Vitali comes out of retirement. The Ancient Egyptians have a 3000 year long history of kicking Northerners asses. History has a way of repeating itself...
Fury is lineal, he became the greatest over night. Nobody knows who Wilder is, your Egyptian hope is just that. He may even lose to Povetkin. So they were the best primates until superior civilizations evolved. History is repeating and Fury is your new northern superior.
Worthless celebrity worshiping junk. Glorified oversized caskets for rich inbred freaks to waste away in. The pyramid has been surpassed long time ago, by inventions that actually benefit humanity.
Fury fought a very smart fight, he threw enough punches to score points, then he would stay out of reach. Wlad in the past 10 years, maybe lost 13 round in 20 fights, tonight I had him losing 7. He didn't get old, he just hasn't been using any of his special gifts for a while now. Wlad is a GOAT, I think if he wants to be remembered well in years to come, he needs to rematch this guy, an develop a plan to win. Hayes, is more powerful an much faster, an was great at staying outside, that riddle was answered by wlad in dominating fashion during there fight, I gave haye one round in that fight. To think wlad can't beat this guy is silly, wlad has over 25 title matches, know what he has to do is get his self to want an be at that mental level, to throw his jab, to listen to his corner (which he did not do), use his left hook. Wlad been gliding along on talent alone for the past two years, an it caught up with him. Wlad did not take any real physical abuse this fight, you could argue cause of the last round, Tyson took more then him. Wlad should think rematch around May or June next year, give himself some time off, an some time to really pre-pare well. But for a guy to dominate like this, get beat once an go off into the sunset, yea does not sound like a great idea. Yea he needs to rematch him, even if he is 40, cause wlad is a young 40:bbb
I think he deserves to try again if he's got the will and I'd respect him if he did. But I agree. I don't think there's any real point after that. He'll probably be stopped.
So many suddenly making out Wlad was faded, when he didnt fight any differently to normal, just that Fury knew how to offset what Wlad did and so many of you didnt think Wlad was going to lose beforehand and now post all knowingly. Wlad has wins over several of the current top 10 HWs and didnt look faded in any of those fights. In Wlads 6 fights leading to Fury, he had beaten 5 undefeated HWs What went wrong in my opinion, is that Wlad likes to double jab before throwing his right then tends to hold and lean after, which were all things that I thought wouldnt happen against Fury as Fury is a mover, so the double jab would not be able to range find to throw the right and Fury is as heavy as Wlad so there would be no leaning on Fury and pushing him down
Wlad wasn't faded in that he still beats most, I just think Fury is just better now than Wlad and it's time for Wlad to retire and let the next group of HWs get their time at running things. He has nothing more to prove. I actually wrote after the Jennings fight he should retire because I didn't think he would have anything left to prove and didn't need to take a loss against a young up and coming fighter. Though I didn't expect it to be Fury though, but AJ.
Yeah I don't get trying to diminish the win. The majority of posters on here made it seem like Fury was some terrible boxer who'd just crumble once a punch landed. I'd figure it'd be easier to give him some credit for improving (the growth has been obvious, but many still stayed hung up on his early fights when he would half-ass things). His lateral movement and upper body movement were exceptional, particularly for a big man. A fighter about as big as Primo Carnera shouldn't be able to move that fluidly. I've never seen that from a fighter that big. Then, you have an 85 inch reach with handspeed on top of it. Yes, Wlad is old and not peaked, but he's still damn good. Forget the people who'd rather twist the situation than admit they misjudged it. Man, Tyson Fury is a unique fighter in the history of the division. Unique doesn't mean unbeatable, but people are in denial if they think a focused Fury is an easy out for anyone. I knew it would be a tough fight, but Fury surprised me with the soundness and execution of his gameplan.
It could be build today much easier, but it is totally meaningless to build one, the flash light alone is already more impressive than the pyramids.
As much as I do not like Wlad's style, I respect him to the core. A gentleman, real role model. But he should NOT take the rematch. It won't be better for him. Fury might actually stop him. No jokes. Don't want to see him getting brutally knocked out. He should ride into the sunset now and just enjoy his $ and Hayden
