    but the thing is, "THIS VERSION" of fury is the one u deal with, in that the only versin of fury is the one who cant maintain his professional level.

    That is as much a part of Furys ability and limitation as anything else. To consider Fury you need to consider him as the sum of his abilities AND limitations. You cant just consider Wilder on the basis of his hook.

    Absolutely disgraceful to be honest, he has zero boxing skills and just relies on the knockout and in truth even that might be overrated due to the level of opposition he has fought.

    Pretty clear after last nights result Wlad is levels above Wilder in terms of boxing ability. Wilder isn't even a better natural talent, Wlad is faster and hits harder.

    We all know Wlad toyed with Wilder is sparring and dropped him multiple times and last night just reconfirmed how poor Wilder really is. Sure he hits hard but power alone is never going to be enough at the elite level. I'd pick Wlad now to come out of retirement to KO him.

    But Wilder did drop Fury twice pretty easily. Whilst Wladimir Klitschko couldn't even come close to dropping, much less being able to drop Fury with his best flush punches.

    It begs the question now. Does Wlad really hit harder than Wilder and is he really faster?

    Without question. He did what Wlad could only dream of.

    Not even close. Vlad in his prime would have KO'd Wilder within 7.

    You're comparing a 40 year old Wlad to a 33 year old Wilder?

    Let's see how Wilder looks at age 40.

    Yes, I am because that 'Brighton Bomber' stated Wlad would KO Wilder even now. So I was questioning how Wlad could be better at his current state (or even when he fought Fury and Joshua).

    Then when was Wladimir at his best? How do you measure when his prime was?
