    100% Fury skipped out of the rematch and in my opinion he was on PED's but not caught.

    Wlad landed only 60% of gypsy kings landed punches. Pretty dominating numbers

    Fury was not so much dominating vs Wlad.
    Looks that Wlad, like Povetkin, continued to fight when they were over the hill. I think habit and them likes to fight.
    Otherwise they both did not had bad habits and definitely had savings and no urgent financial need to fight anymore.
    Some guys too much get fighting in their mind and continue.

    Huck is another example, prime Huck was more tough than HW Takam and also more dangerous.
    Doesn't looks that money issues there, still continue to fight after these fights vs prime Glowacki, Briedis and Usyk ( more mobile than he is now version ).

    Fury is better remembered for punching himself in the face than beating Klitschko

    Old man Sanders blasting a younger Klitschko away was a far better achievement.

    Well, then Klit was not enough experienced and he really properly had landed on him.
    With not enough mature Huck in youth too this had happened.

    Still yeah, it was not 37-41 y.o boxers beatup for " marquee wins " like in modern times .

    Sanders was also a horrible stylistic matchup for him.

    Couple of things. Ali was a big under dog in the Liston fight. Ali threw more punches in 3 rounds than Fury did in 12. Ali gave Liston a rematch. The Fury fight didn't showcase skill or grit. It was more like watching 2 giants learing to waltz with all the hugging and holding. Perhaps you have a better eye for the sport than I do. You see details that I miss. To me, it was boring and fought at a slow pace with little offensive output.

    Lol so many haters

    Toyed with Wlad

    Beat him at his own game

    tried to cheat with the canvas

    Tried headbutt him

    Ref taking points

    Wlad is an overrated/ bum dosser. a big stiff idiot. The pusher of midgets.

    Fury is a real born and bred fighting man. superior in every way to Wlad.

    Nonsense, He passed 10 tests from Feb 2015 up to fight night over the span of 8 months.

    Then when he got injured UKAD decided to try and pull a sly lawsuit which failed and almost bankrupted themselves.

    It was extremely boring. Thats true but regardless im just referring to the fact that Fury outboxed Wlad. Wlad was elite at long range and Fury nulified Wlad with feints, fluidity and movement and outjabbed him. But Pulev also successfully outjabbed Klitschko and stood his ground while doing so, so in terms of Jabs Pulev is actually better. But Its not just the jabbing aspect but head movement, foot work, and ring iq the way he shut wlad down.
