The fact you had to compare Wlad to this version of Fury to make him look good is laughable. I totally forgot all the fun going around here on ESB
The fact that a Fury donggobbler called Pianeta a bum and then forgot that ol' Tyson fought the worst version of Pianeta ever is what's laughable. Next you will tout Wlad's junior ex-sparring partner Wilder as a top win for Fury
Spot on. A lot of talk about Wlad, but this was Fury’s first fight on a global stage and he fought very nervously. His confidence has grown immensely since then. I’d have The Fury from Wilder 2 to quite handily embarrass Wlad personally.
Fury is still massively untested in terms of ATG status IMO. And if he retires now once the hype, of the 3 Wilder beatdowns dies down, his resume wont be the best of this current era, he'll just have the bonus of being undefeated. His biggest win was a tactical one against a 39 year old uninterested Wlad. Great win for a young Fury on paper, not so much if you actually watch the fight and pay attention to the details surrounding the fight. Then he dominated Wilder who had a 100% padded record and who's 2 best win where against the same man rumored to be almost 50 years old at the time. While dominating Wilder in 3 fights Fury tended to switch off as he does , resulting in him being dropped 4 times. Then you got the Chisora1&2 and Wallin. And then you have him fighting Journeymen and Gatekeepers, dominating and switching of at times resulting in being dropped on a few occasions. Looking at Fury closely, he is hugely inconsistent. Even the 3 fights with Wilder you got 3 different Fury's. That being said "if" he beats Whyte, Joshua and Usyk. Then I'd start referring to him as the GOAT since Lewis retired.
Prime wlad wouldnt have been able to hold anyways, he can't put l fury. Reckless young wlad would have the best chance but fury would make him gas then take him down to brain damage town like he did to wilder
Fury beats a 40 year old Wlad and now magically he beats a prime Wlad? I bet most people who think this way are very young. If you are around 40 you already know how much people physically decline at this age. Or Klischko is not affected by effects of aging? Than why he didn't win a single fight after Fury loss? Why he is not an active boxer now?
Why did Fury duck the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko? Was it because he knew he'd lose to a fully focused age 40 past prime Klitschko? Wlad actually has rather short 26" arms for a man who is 6'6". Much of his "reach" is in his broad shoulders. Fury in contrast does indeed have very long arms, they appear to be over 30".
Fury wins because Wlad was always a low output gun-shy boxer. The writing was on the wall when Haye went 12 rounds without being hurt. There's no method of victory for Wlad unless he gets stuck in and lets combos fly in the wheelhouse. But Wlad wasn't that guy. Even Lewis would lose if he tried to box Fury from range. He'd have to get stuck in and attack like he did against Golota.
Those HBO arm length stats were bogus. According to them James Toney had longer arms than Wlad which is obviously not true.
The rematch would’ve been 50-50 but Fury did not want it a 34-year-old Wlad would’ve hammered and dropped Tyson fury
