You know thats really funny because what did you think just happened over the weekend? Pulev tried using rough house tactics, and "not giving a ****". Guess what though..you can't block punches with your face. Only being 'gritty' and big will leave you lying in the hospital vs wlad, Fury will be no different. You need boxing skill, quickness, movement, power, size, grit, smarts and experience to even stand a chance vs Wlad. In other words you need to be a complete boxer.
People his own size are punching bags. Fury beats them all easily. Wilder and Price have a punchers chance, that's about it. He'd jab Ustinov's face into oblivion.
Pulev's inside game consisted of rabbit punches. Fury is Stronger than Pulev. Faster. Has an uppercut. He also doesn't leave his hands down after breaks to be hit by left hooks.
disagree on all counts. fury is not strong at all. he has a weak base, have u seen his chiken legs? wlad will throw him around like a ragdoll. fury is also very lazy with his hand placement.. hap hazard is how i would describe it. i see little technique or skill displayed by him ever. he will get caught and knocked out brutally i really dont know what you guys see in him
If you say so. http://ist1-1.filesor.com/pimpandhost.com/1/_/_/_/1/q/T/b/h/qTbh/176636_Tyson-Fury.jpg
It proves he has 3 inch over Wlad, 15lbs come fight night and a clear strength advantage during clinches due to having the leverage advantage. Put it this way. I'd rather Wlad hug me than Fury. Its like the Big Show from the WWE. He's much stronger than muscle-head 6'5's
Just compare their shoulders and tell me Wlad wins the clinches!?!!? :/ Throwing him around like a rag-doll hahah Yeah, throwing an 19 stone guy around is very easy feat of Strength.
Povetkin is the number 2 heavyweight right now. I guess the winner of Fury-Chisora or Stiverne-Wilder(especially if its Stiverne) could make a case based on current accomplishments but I'd still take Povetkin. Going by h2h its clearly Povetkin regardless of who beats who anywhere else. If Haye came back and pulled in a decent win or two that could put him n the conversation but I don't see that happening. If Povetkin wins another fight or two against good fighters while looking like he has latley I'd really like to see a rematch with Wlad. Povetkin is possibly fighting at his best ever while Wlad is slipping. In another year thats a very interesting fight. Povetkin is and has been a very good heavyweight. His stock dropped for a period but it back where it belongs now.
