My theory: Why Klitchko fought like a dead whale against Fury and Jennings

    Fury learned the friday before the fight that his wife is pregnant and they are expecting a third child.

    Tony Thopson has 7 children and still enough testosterone to knock David Price out and tell the interviewer afterwards that he's about to break the hip of his wife in order to celebrate his victory.

    Mike Tyson has 8 children. Evander Holyfield has 11 children.
    I never felt that one of them is missing testosterone ... but maybe sir Evan Fields helped himself out by another way.

    Could be true, we'll know if there's a rematch.

    I loved this post. :D I think that maybe you nailed it.

    Klitschko has forgotten his fundamentals because he is so big and well conditioned, that he became used to using his size instead of the skills that he undoubtedly had/has. Fury is an OCP for him.

    I think that if you stuck in pre-Sanders Wlad with Fury, that Tyson would be nothing but mangled dog treats by the end of the fight. It's really like Wlad has been two different fighters in his career.

    This is the kind of post that ends threads such as these. The thread starter's notion is proved to be just another excuse topic.

    It's true testosterone levels drop significantly from age 30 on. If you're over 35 and feeling a bit run down, anxious, aches and pains, bit of a belly and slow metabolism, pecker not as hard as it used to be.. it's probably t-levels.

    I just think he has gotten too comfortable with routine wins using the same style and forgotten how to deal with adversity.

    This should act as a wake up call and put a bit of the old fire back. I don't believe age is a huge factor just yet although it most likely will be in the next few years. Would like to see Wlad beat Fury in the rematch, take Wilder's belt then retire.

    Squeeze in Briggs at the end for a laugh.

    Pulev fought a taller fighter in the pocket with his left hand down and had zero head movement. How is that hard to look good against exactly? Even after Wlad knocked him down a couple of times he still still put his guard up and still used zero head movement. Theres no challenge.

    Wladimir just didn't look motivated. Same way Mayweather stopped looking motivated the past few years.
