    I can't wait for Fury Klitschko 2. I've been a big fan of Fury for a long time and believed he was an excellent up and coming boxer before the Klitschko fight. But I didn't think he would quite be ready for Klitschko first time around. I thought he needed a couple more tests against big men first but how wrong was I? He outboxed Wladimir with relative ease over in Germany, it's one of the most underrated wins in the history of boxing. He hasn't gotten a fraction of the credit he deserves for that win. Imagine Joshua or Wilder did that?

    Even if Wladimir did get old overnight as some people are suggesting, Fury still went to Germany at just 27 years of age and widely beat an ATG who was unbeaten 13 years or whatever it was. Incredible win by an incredible talent, he's brought so much excitement to the division. His style might not be exciting to the casual fans but neither was Mayweather. Fury has the sweet science nailed and if you took his personality out of boxing, the heavyweight division would be boring again. When Joshua faces decent opposition that will go 12 rounds with him, he'll bring no excitement to the sport.

    All this brings us to the imminent rematch with Klitschko. I know Fury blew up in weight after the first fight but so did greats like Hatton and Morales. It's not uncommon for boxers to blow up, at 27 he can get away with it and has dropped the weight in no time. The fact is he is now in great shape for him and I believe we'll see the best version of him yet. He looks to be training very hard in top facilities and has adjusted his fight camp diet. He looks more muscular than ever and I suspect he will have more pop in his shots.

    Fury is easily the most gifted heavyweight on the planet. He's a natural boxer with unique agility for such a huge monster. If you compliment this with world champion belief and dedication, not to mention ever developing youth, I think we could have a great champion on our hands. The biggest ignorance of Fury is his age, at 27 this man is years away from peaking.

    Love him or hate him, he gets people talking about boxing and I've no doubt he will fight the best in the division again and again. He's certainly reignited my love for the sport and I can't wait to see his rematch with Wlad as I think we'll see another 10% from Fury. I don't think he's applied himself properly for large parts of his career but I believe he's now training and living like a world champion should during fight camp and that spells bad news for the rest of the division in my opinion.

    For me, he's the best thing to happen boxing in a very long time. Loved by many, hated by more, soon to be respected by everyone!

    He's not respected anywhere media wise bar the likes of ifl tv, he's too anti establishment and unpredictable. But for me, that's what makes him so special. He speaks his mind and is totally off the cuff, it's unheard of these days and needs to be cherished in my opinion.

    I don't agree with many of his beliefs and opinions, but I respect him for being himself. He's also ****ing hilarious and fearless.

    I am very excited and for me this is the most anticipated fight of the year. I just hope Wlad comes in with a clear mind and his wife gets her **** together so he can focus.

    I'm pretty exited. Fury's my favorite boxer by far, and I thought it was an amazing win over Wlad.

    That said, my respect for his win has to be tempered by the fact that Wlad looked so bad against Jennings. Historically, Wlad doesn't even lose more than a round. Against Jennings? Didn't quite play out that way. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the only reasonable thing to conclude is that Wlad is "old."

    But it was still a big win and Fury looked phenomenal with his upper body movement. It truly wasn't that Wlad was just not throwing for some magical reason, what happened was Fury's upper body movement and feints just completely froze Wlad.

    Fury is incredibly talented and I very much appreciate his irreverent personality. I was a little turned off when he was started talking about retirement and not caring about the win, but that seems to be over with for now.

    I still don't believe Fury gained anywhere near the amount of weight he claimed. I don't know if it was mindgames, or Fury just mouthing off, but he did not gain that much weight. Maybe 15-20 lbs or so.

    Anyway. Fury will win come July. Fury is good and Wlad is shot.

    Well written OP.

    The media have a campaign painting Fury as the villain and AJ as the hero, because AJ toes the line and fits their agenda - whereas Fury is a loose cannon who's likely to rebel at any moment, giving them all sorts of headaches!

    excited to see Fury outbox Wlad again then to see if Wlad grabs his nuts and decides it's all or nothing - at that point if this does occur we will see an old man get TKO'd by the new heavyweight king

    then Fury will call out bum squad for the butcher in December 2016.

    Even if Wlad lands his best punches at worst Fury will get knocked down...he has never been KO'd remember that ladies. Emmanual Steward and many others stated it was his toughness not just his skill that will allow him to get far.

    I hope Wlad knocks him down just to see our glorious champion rise off the canvas to continue his beatdown on Wlad.

    What can Wlad do different and will he shed the shackles of his preferred safety first style for one last hurrah.

    He will have to or else there is no point turning up.

    Its a great fight . I can't wait. The element of intrigue is what makes it so fascinating.
