I would think he has having just been to Germany to school the guy who dominated the division for a decade.
you mean the senior citizen who struggled against ex janitor jennings? OH wow what a feat! And he had reasons to go, not only was Wlad aging(like he said himself), he had a chance to get every belt besides the WBC.
Yeah the Ukrainian guy was so bad nobody beat him for a decade. Wonder if the Bronze Bummer..........sorry Bomber will still be champ in 2026?? What do`y think?
Who said he was bad, he was clearly aging which fury pointed out himself . Your hero said Wlad was old, yet you can't seem to get that through your thick skull. Wlad went life and death and lost 4-5 ruonds against ex-janitor jennings, or was it part-time janitor jennings?
If he gets past Povetkin somehow I'd not expect him to fight anyone of note until 2018 by which time he can retire with a mega event perhaps vs Joshua.
I picked Wlad, but also said that I wouldnt be surprised if Fury won, since Wlad was aging, and looked awful against Jennings the fight before.
That`s an excellent prediction! You kinda picked both. Covering all bases. Whatever the outcome you were right.
I would say most boxers are not afraid. It is the business they have chosen. It takes courage even from the unskilled to step into the square circle and put it on the line. I think it is more of a matter of business teams making decisions. Boxing has always been a business....appears to be even more so today. With so much dough on the line management goes a long way to look at low reward versus high risks and guide their fighters accordingly. Yes, one does get the sense that some fighters are afraid of others. Noone WANTS to have the holy hell beat out of them and their lucrative life style take a large hit will only increase that very real concern. It is easy to get carried away and express a sentiment toward a fighter one does not favor or like. However, in my heart I do not think of fighters as being afraid in the sense one would usually mean it............On second thought Wilder is too much of a bum and a scaredy cat to fight Fury...or any feisty grandmother that has had more than a 2 week camp.
