    Who do you think would have won the rematch. I still think Fury by decision but with a much closer fight this time.

    Fury beat him in the Sauna, in their first fight, the rematch face to face brutally and would have dunked him in a rematch if it went ahead.

    Fury made Wlad look a fool in so many ways. He's already made Usyk look a fool also.

    Honestly, if fury was in any mental shape to fight, he would have beat Klitschko again.
    I was impressed by the "dog" that klitschko finally showed against Joshua but i do think that fury may have just been too much of an animal for him in a rematch. Even if he had adjusted technically and lets say dropped fury. Now its a dogfight and i dont think he could outlast fury. Fury is too tough in the ring, has(had?) An amazing engine for a big man and would have ground him down.
    Wlad would have gassed, quite possibly mentally folded and gotten stopped, in my opinion.

    If Wlad fought the way he did against Joshua he would have won but idk if he had that in him.

    The first fight never warranted a rematch,Wlad got out thought and out boxed,no controversy at all,it wasn’t a fan friendly fight but Fury had his game plan and he stuck to it . How many other fighters in his career did Wlad get hold of with both hands and stick the head on ?

    We won’t ever know since Fury faked an injury to get out of it.

    Fury. That version of Klitchko was already past his expired date, even though he gave 1 last great performance against Joshua.

    By making Usyk the people's champ and making people to root for the foreigner guy even in the UK? Or by losing the mind games battle time and again against a guy who barely speaks English? Or by pulling out of fighting him four times in less than a year?

    Wlad. And wiiide.

    There's a reason Wlad wanted the rematch and Fury wanted to run away from it as fast and as far as possible - they both knew what the outcome was going to be.


    Fury's good, but he wasn't not good enough to win the rematch - a distracted and off-colour Wlad he could beat, and he did a good job of that... But when not underestimating his opponent and when motivated with a point to prove, Wlad would've wiped the floor with Fury and he knew it.

    Look what they did next...
    Wlad went on to fight the hottest prospect in the division, a dangerous fight he'd ultimately lose. Fury ran and hid from the division, came back fighting bums, won the title of "king of the bum beaters" from the most ludicrously overprotected second/third rate champion imaginable and then fought a couple of ruined corpses (Whyte and Chisora) before arguably losing to a zero fight novice.

    Fury's hopelessly overrated on here, and probably still will be even after Usyk puts a masterclass on him - he's good, but it's a stretch to put him at elite at all.

    Fury schooled him for 12 rounds and made it look easy. Wlad was already beaten when they sang the national anthems. Fury was ready, he knew he was going to win and Wlad knew he is going to lose.

    There is absolutely NO way that Wlad would even have the slightest chance in the rematch.

    No matter who Fury beats there are excuses and imagination of how he didn't win.
    The same thing will happen after Usyk.
    The same thing happened after Lennox beat Vitali.
    It's kind of pathetic. Learn to be good sports. lol

    Wladimir. Always have said that. He was coming to let his hands go and he was on a mission. Also he wouldn’t have been two years rusty like in the Joshua fight

    I see no reason why Fury wouldn't have repeated the dose. Joshua beat Wlad afterwards.
