    That so-called overmatched fat middleweight also beat Boytsov and came within a mere few seconds of KO-ing KINGPIN, back when Johnson was still relatively presentable as a Heavyweight...!!!

    fury has absolutely no punch resistance. that is why he has been matched so incredibly soft. first solid combo wlad lands, it is over.

    Povetkin would beat Fury..................and Vlad will knock Fury out!!!!!!! Vlad is way too skilled for Fury...............at first Fury claimed he was 6 feet 10 inches tall, then came down to 6 feet 9 inches tall, but when Vlad and Fury stood face to face it appears that Fury is only about an inch taller than Vlad, about the same height as Wach was. Vlad fights tall fighters better than he fights shorter ones. Vlad punches much harder than Cunningham.................is stronger than Fury, has more experience, power, foot work, stamina, ad infinitum...............

    Safety pin hasn't been relatively presentable since his non effort against Vitali.

    Wlad destroyed Pulev, Fury ducked Pulev...Fury won't even step up to face the level of Klitschko opponents.

    I do not want no one to change their pick when it comes closer towards fight time. I going to ****yse each and one of you.... Fury not going to shock me whatsoever... Put it this way wlad no Bernard Hopkins :)... I will not be surprised if wlad pulls out very soon either because injury or disruption in the camp.. You Watch how easy this fights going to be for fury... More easier than he thinks

    I don't think you have any risk of anyone Changing their pick, why would we? Only reason I would consider it is if Wlad threw in one of his previous opponents or sparring partners which as I previously have indicated, are typically more recently of higher quality than anything Fury has faced

    The trouble I see with wlad previous opponents except for three is that non of them came to fight and to win and shake up the champion and rip it from him......you start to see the subtle difference.. Fury has no respect for Wlad fighting
    ability and wouldn't be ***** footing around the ring... He will be bringing it to him watch wlad panic under pressure and cave in... Unpredictable fury will have him second guessing and he wouldn't be able to react quicker enough

    Watch Fury's game plan change when Wlad starts landing.

    Not relevant.

    Fury is not a huge power puncher.

    His KO ratio is inflated because has had very poor competition. It could be said to be very good until after the first Chisora fight, and then, instead of fighting tougher opponents to continue to build himself, he seemed to start to cherry pick. Fury's best stoppages are against Cuningham, who is a cruiser, and Chisora, who probably could have been. Haye's competition, though limited, is far better.


    But treats his body like a garbage dump whereas Wlad stays in shape.

    But doesn't have a world class jab to capitalize.


    It could be just like that because Fury has been down agasint feather fists like Cunningham and Pajkic. Wlad might kill him.

    It is hard think of anything that Fury really does better than Wlad. His handspeeed is probably better, but I Wlad is better in every other facet of the game. Fury does that switch up trick, but using a southpaw stance is just going to help him to eat the right hand--Wlad has one of the best right hands ever.

    I like Fury, but he is NOT ready. He needs 2-3 more years training hard and figthing big boys like Tony Thompson, Ustinov, Dimentrenko, etc.

    Fury is entertaining. I hope that he doesn't disappear from the scene after this one. I want to see him vs Wilder

    He isn't but he can throw some sickening body shots when he winds them up. Wlad need to cover up.

    He does go to the body with power, but Wlad can take body shots all day long. You have to hit him on he cheeen.

    Povetkin is a really bad matchup for both Fury and Wilder.
    Fun thing is that the odds are mentioned here for the Wlad fight, and are compared to Wlad vs Haye. Both have been fueled by British betting/bookies, wich we know always present the Brit boxer in a much more positive light. The actual odds should clearly be wider in my opinion.
