    Yes.

    I just can't get to grips how people can overlook being knocked out by the likes of Ross Puritty, Corrie Sanders and Lamont Brewster because he went on a reign defeating the likes of Jean-Marc Mormeck, Francesco Pianeta, Calvin Brock, Alex Leapai and the rest. Remember that Wladimir Klitschko unified against legends like Sultan Ibragimov and David Haye...

    Nope, Prime Wlad KO's him. There is a huge difference between 30 and 39 and he had over 60 fights. It wasn't Wlad who pulled out of the rematch. Wait and see if Fury is still fighting at 39 and how good he is.

    Wlad had over 60 fights because he was fighting guys with losing records! 27 fights fury UD’d wlad.

    fury won’t be fighting then, wlad was fighting scrubs at 27 fights in and had already been ko’d by one.

    fury if he wins his last 3 will leave a legend.

    Is prime Wladimir Klitschko the one who got KO'd by Ross Puritty, Corrie Sanders or Lamont Brewster? I seriously doubt that version KO's Tyson Fury.

    Who is the best boxer Wladimir Klitschko has defeated? Is it David Haye? An ancient Hasim Rahman? Is it someone who has never held a world title like Alexander Povetkin or Kubrat Pulev?

    Wladimir Klitschko is, by far, the lesser of the two brothers, but has a wonderfully padded record.

    Wladimir Klitsche only wanted the rematch because his brother Vitali was retired and couldn't inflict revenge on his behalf. That's how much of a fighting heart Wladimir had. He had to get big brother to sort out his problems.

    tell me any of wlads wins that would you clearly favour to beat fury?

    Quality over quantity.

    even chisora and hammer are better than pianeta, Botha, lepai, mormeck etc

    Haye , Jennings , Sultan and Williamson didn't even get dropped. All of them used the footwork around the ring , apart from Haye who used more upperbody movment than leg movement . When Wlad fights movers he doesn't look good. . Haye being "on his bike" was used to excuse Wlad for being unable to produce a knockout. All Wlad fans cried for years that Haye moving around is why he produced a stinker. If prime best ever WK couldn't land a left hook or right hand on Haye , what hope would he have landing on Fury..

    Lucky for Wlad his era was riddled with non-atlethic plodders becaue Fury would befuddle any version of Wlad. Todays tank version of Fury would in all likelhood be able to crumble him like a cookie.

    the Haye fight is completed revisionism by klit fans.

    the dodgy entrance. The most likely bouncy castle ring. The constant leaning and cuddling that Haye decided he wasn’t going to accept. Haye took about 4 rounds and if all things were equal had the beating of wlad

    would love to know what else went on behind the scenes

    Haye landed the best punch in that fight in the 12th round. Had Wlad holding on badly. Haye during the whole fight was never hurt as badly as Wlad was in that 12th round.
    Wlad won clear though due to being too big and awkward for little Haye.. He would never have those advantages agasint Fury

    Even if Fury beats AJ, he doesn't pass Wlad. Since when is AJ a monster? He was almost KO'ED by a 41 year old Wlad and there is the Ruiz thing. He's not exactly a prime Mile Tyson or Foreman.
    Fury needs to go on a run in title defenses before he passes Wlad. This Wilder victory is getting out of control.

    Nah!
    Lennox Lewis moved just as well, hit harder and fought better competition!
