    Fury has underrated boxing ability, he twice dominated Chisora, beating him a lot easier than Vitali did. Wladimir didn't know how to handle him, it's as simple as that and due to him lacking versatility (a problem that has plagued him his whole career) in the ring, he didn't take the initiative and go on the attack. Also I disagree, he is some Mayweather, Loma & Rigo, he just dominated a champion that has looked untouchable for years, Fury may look clumsy but he clearly has a great boxing brain.

    Both have Glass Jaws. I'd pick Joshua at this stage, Wlad can't pull the trigger any more and is petrified of getting hit.

    What you consider his chances to be of succeeding are irrelevant. If the offer is fair, he'll take the fight.

    Eddie Hearns is a master bull**** artist. I doubt this is for the November date fight

    He didn't "dominate" him. He just didn't lose as badly as Wladimir did. He beat a Klitschko that didn't show up to fight. He had the easiest time winning a heavyweight world title in all of history. Wladimir fought 3 hard fights for those belts. Fury had to fight one easy one where his opponent didn't even wanna hit him. Comparing Fury to Mayweather, Rigo and Loma is ridiculous dude. Fury is sloppy as hell in that ring.

    A Klitchko of 8 or so years ago would be a very good match up against todays Joshua, and I would have him winning by a commanding margin on points. A 40 3/4 year old Vlad is a different proposition though. I don't see AJ coming out blazing and think he would be cautious first 3 rounds. I would have Joshua to win by KO somewhere around rounds 7 or 8.

    Great fight. Obviously Joshua destroys him.

    I really think Fury will retire though, he's clearly got demons atm.

    How many years ago was the sam peters fight? Its obviously not the same klitchko. But it was far from a shot wlad. Until fury dethroned him he would have continued to beat up on the smaller guys for another few years. Probably even the bigger guys too.

    Totally disagree that he didnt turn up. Furys longer reach and footwork put him into his shell. People shouted for klitchko to throw punches. It would have most likely ended with klitchko getting knocked out. The reason hes been as succesful as he has was because he pretty much always had the height/reach advantage. The few guys he didnt have that with were useless.

    Fury beat him fair and square. Klitchko now will still beat anyone else out there today.

    Wlad would probably win. He's just outjab, jab and grab. AJ doesn't have the movement or mobility, and he doesn't have the experience yet to win by KO.

    The fight won't happen anyway. Hearn wouldn't risk AJ like that.

    Joshua would rightly be the favourite. He'd do it within 5.

    Yeah?
    Because Wlad's not as good as Whyte and Breazeale?

    You can only beat whats put in front of you. Who did Fury beat of any significant worth before Wlad ?

    Bro, you are one ignorant fool on the topic at hand. Have you seen both AJ's and wlads last few years of action ? And if you had you seriously believe wlad could compete with AJ right now ?

    Your RESUME means ZERO once you enter that ring. How do fighters ever become champs along your line of thinking ?

    Fact is AJ is so far superior to any and every cersion if wlad. The wlad of mid 2000's could make it exciting for a couple rounds but AJ is a atg in the making..

    AJ would annihilate wlad and i would fear for the viciousness of the inevitable brutal KO ending of wlads career. Fellas, you have to get off the he hasn't already done ot so he cant do it.

    Right now, wlad doesn't belong anywhere near a ring with the true top 5 hw beasts.


    You guys literally have me wondering if you guys have any remaining beain cells that are still functional through all those cobwebs

    Klitschko never turns up to fight. He turns up to win by doing as little fighting as possible. His hugging strategy his designed so he doesn't have to fight at all.

    Fury beat Wlad the exact same way Wlad beat Haye. You Klit fans never had an issue when Wlad was winning this way. And , yes , Fury whoops any version of Klitschko.
