    Wilder will spring up into range lighting fast and land a hard right to the pikey jaw. KO inside 3 rounds.

    He is a serious contender, I agree. But that just shows how bad the division really is.

    Uhm Fury would be a serious contender in the 80s and 90s as well, considering what calibre of bums got title shots in those eras.

    as long as he can keep them at the end of his long reach, hes ok. but, someone with quickness can exploit his lack of mobility

    Fury could have fought Vlad by now, but instead decided to fight Hammer. Fury should fight Wilder, then after beating Wilder, fight Vlad, which would be a huge fight. Vlad has much better defense and skills than Fury. Vlad would put him down with a left hook, right hand, etc., all his punches are shorter and better than Fury's. However, I think Fury is a better fighter than given credit for. He appears to be better than Wilder for sure...................

    I wasn't impressed at all with his performance, simply because Christian Hammer is not a good fighter. He's just like all the other slow, plodding bums that populate the HW division.

    Fury only impressed me against Steve Cunningham and the first time he fought Chisora. I'd like to see him in there against real talent like Povetkin, Haye, Klitschko and Wilder.

    I don't think Vlad is worried about Fury. Vlad has much better skills, talent, experience, etc.

    What a hell of a sh!t did you watch??

    That fight was a disgrace to the sport!

    Fury could not stop Hammer, they throw the towel in by no reason.. did team Fury pay them to do after round 8, so he could say "I stopped him, look how good I am"... that was a shame of a fight.

    I dont see Fury ending round 1 with Wlad, Fury will go to sleep early if Fury ever gets in the ring with him!

    Absolutely. He put on yet another masterclass against the game Hammer.

    A boxing clinic. Switching stances, hitting from angles, constantly moving around, fast and effortlessy.

    Seriously, his stamina would be impressive on a 200 lbs boxer, but on the 260 lbs of him, it's absolutely freaky.

    In the last two fights he particularly focused on fighting on the back foot, in the corners and on the ropes, wich will be crucial in the Klitschko fight.

    He just seemed to lack the killer instinct, he was toying too much with the mouse. But i guess against the champion he'll be more blood thirsty.

    From a recent interview....

    -"Do you have something to say to Wladimir?"

    -"Yes, Wladimir Klitschko can suck my *****, how about that?"

    He wants Wladimir Klitschko. The best man his own size on the planet. If he isn't looking to find guys his own size how do you explain him chasing Wlad??
