Things are looking good for wlad in 2015. Lots of credible challengers rising up for some good fun fights. Jennings Fury Stiv/wilder winner If he can get two of those three for the year it will be a big year for the heavyweight champion.
lets see what happens with Fury... he barks and barks but when its time to bite (sign a contract) he runs away... hopefully this time they will say YES
Fury is 6'9 260lbs of inside fightiness. :deal Dont think wlads got a snow***** chance in hell of winning vs Too Fast.
ill be sure to repost this when, wladimir is doing his boneless man impression, the wibbly wobbly, when fury crashes an uppercut on wlads chin.
Surely you cant be referring to the 3rd longest heavyweight champion of all time not having a "snowb alls chance in hell" of beating a decent contender?? That would be stupid talk. Im pretty sure Chef is rererring to Wladimir Klitschko, the 63-3,53kos IBF, WBA,WBO and RING Heavyweight Champion of the WORLD. What "Wlad" were you referring to?:think Im not aware of anyone named Wlad that Tyson Fury would have a chance to beat.
atleast fury ko'd him out in the rematch. wlad was s.hitscared of rematching this golfplayer: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eisx8ek0l0g[/url]
Jennings-voluntary, Fury-Mandatory, and Wilder/Stiverne winner unification would be a great yr. Though the only two I feel almost certain will get done are the Fury and Jennings fights. Wilder is promoted by Al Haymon, and he always tries to milk the cow for all its worth, and Stiverne is promoted by King, who's contract requests and past history with Klitschko will make the negotiations very interesting. I'd prefer Wilder and his glossy record on Wlad's resume, but we'll see what happens in his next fight.
I agree the unification fight is going to be a difficult deal to get done. Don King kept Ruiz away like the plague and we know Haymon doesn't risk his fighters. If Wlad can't get the unification this year but still intends to fight three times I hope he fights the Glazkov/Cunningham winner mando because that will free up more time to make the voluntary unification in 2016. If he opts for Briggs I would be disappointed but after two top 10 contenders I could live with it.
I don't want him to fight Stiverne/Wilder this year. I want him to fight them next year because if Floyd/Pac fight this year, FOTY will go to them. I want Wlad to win the damn award once.
I wouldn't count on may/pac coming off. Even if they did fight and the award went to them- A year of Jennings, Fury, Wilder/Stiverne would be incredible year for any HW, you got to go for it. However, Wlad takes it one fight at a time, let's get Jennings signed and prepare for that fight.
I was going to add what you said about the Glazkov/Cunningham winner being a suitable 3rd defense for the yr, should the unification not come to fruition with Wilder/Stiverne. However I'd be very ****ed off at a Briggs fight. And I'm a big Klitschko fan. Would i watch Briggs get beat to death by Wlad, sure, of course, maybe just in sparring, just not as one of his 2-3 title defenses he makes a yr. Id have zero interest in it, and already know the outcome, Briggs being in a 24/7 home health care.
He's been saying that for years, and hasn't been able to deliver except for 2012 (and in that year, most boxing fans could have done with that Mormeck fight). If he fought only 2x, so be it as long as they are good fights....but we know Wlad wants to max his income while he can. I don't see him doing 3 fights in 2015 at all though, something will come up......injuries, family, politics, something....
