    Do boxing fans care about the World heavyweight championship?

    It seems like they haven't for a while.

    fury is playing mind games, he will be fitting fit come the rematch. Wlad was a great champion, maybe ATG, but think he got old. Would be one of wlad's greatest achievement if he wins

    This is coming from an interview with Fury where he said anything now is just icing on the cake. He's achieved his big dream, and if he lost 10 times in a row wouldn't really care.

    Very different tune from the first fight of "I know I'm going to win" etc etc.

    Also his prediction Chuckles Martin would beat Joshua, that was seriously bizarre stuff. Martin was an obvious fraud.

    Judging by Wlad's performance against Jennings, then Fury. He looks to be shot and so Fury will win another boring UD.

    Fury is the biggest troll going besides Floyd Mayweather
    Regardless of Fury's physique hes going to be ready to box for 12 rounds, he will win again easy

    Fury has always said he's not in it for a long term disciplined career.

    Can't find it now but I remember seeing an interview of him before he'd even secured the first Klitchko fight where he was talking about how he would win the championship hang around for a bit but will never be a long reigning champ.
    He was saying he wasn't interested in the lifestyle and would rather be able to have a few pints and enjoy himself rather than live camp to camp.

    While I don't think Fury is stable enough a character to have a long reign I'd be surprised if Wlad is the one to dethrone him.

    Fury for all his crazy talk has proved he can fight and proved he has the style to bother Wlad and Wlad is no spring chicken. Wlad for so long has fought one way and it took him several fights to alter his style before and that was with someone as good as Steward in his corner. I'd be really surprised if Wlad could so quickly adopt a different style again and force the fight and produced the knockout he needs to win. He always has a punchers chance but it would require Fury making a mistake and that's never a good bet if your hoping for someone to under perform.

    The last time I did that I lost it all :lol:

    But, when at first you don't succeed, just try and try again

    I think Wlad will learn from the awkward performance Fury brought in the first fight, that he has to be aggressive against Tyson.... if he does so, Fury doesn't go past 8-9 rounds imo...

    Could be true, but I think we'll see a more focused and determined Klitschko this time. It's either a Wlad KO or Fury UD.

    I'm sure Wlad has the intention of coming out aggressive and overpowering Fury. I just don't think he has it in him anymore.
    The entire second half on their fight I was thinking Wlad must've broken his right hand or something.
