    No KO power then why does he have a 72% KO rate? Fury has extremely heavy hands and and Wlad is packing very fragile glass. If Wlad actually throws some punches this time he gets slept early.

    You must assume that Wlad knew how long it would take to turn around , since its 100% within his control when and where it will happen.

    He signed a fresh deal with RTL so he has dates and venues set up already.

    He could have let Fury take care of Glaskov so he'd bring all the belts to the rematch. He didn't . That tells you he's not serious about ever getting back in the ring with Fury.

    Wlad just isn't good enough to beat Elite fighters like Fury.

    Did you read the article? It is taking so long because they want the fight in the UK. If it is elsewhere it will be sooner. :rofl

    No , Team Fury don't care where the fight is. Is nothing but posturing from Team Klitschko.

    The heavyweight scene will be better off without Wlad.

    Boring as hell and now delaying things again.

    There are a lot of potential exciting fights in the heavyweight division and Wlad-Fury is not one of them.

    Wlad-Wilder, Fury - Ortiz , Joshua- Martin, Haye - Briggs/Browne...

    Fury isn't exactly exciting himself. He was scared to engage with a dead man in front of him.

    72% KO percentage though. Now I'm not saying he's a banger or that he will stop Wlad, but his power is underestimated...

    I'm not fond of the rematch. I really don't want Wlad to win either. Tyson Fury already dethroned Wlad, why can't we move on and see exciting matchups in the division rather than a past prime Wlad?

    Ah so Fury's excuse is Wlad was afraid?

    I don't think it's posturing, I think they are buying time to work on an entirely new strategy. 11 years of muscle-memory has to be unraveled and replaced with a new approach. Wlad knows he can't reply on jab-and-grab when fighting Fury again; that will result in the same decision.

    What he will do instead, I have no real clue, but he has to be aggressive and take more risks. He has to fight like he's the smaller man, because that's what he is...

    I'm a fan of Wlad and respect him a lot. But I tend to agree with you. Even if Wlad wins he's 40 and way past it. So whats the point? He should retire but false pride keeps him going. Not good at all.
