Wlads age to downplay Fury's victory is a bad argument

You think the fight would have played out the same if there was a 30 year old Wlad in there?

 

Fury would have always been a nightmare style for Vlad regardless of age

 

Possibly. I just think if Vlad fought the same way he did against AJ he would have done better, but as you mentioned, the movement, fients of Fury kept Vlads hands holstered.

 

klitschko is a gym rat

 

It was an awful fight, nothing to do with age. This version was no better. Wlad's style is just lame.

Wladimir Klitschko looked awful vs Jennings just before the fight with Fury. He was an old man. Sad that Fury fans have to try to pad his resume of old men and nobodies, but at least Wladimir remains as the best of his era and the longest reigning champion in history while Fury is widely considered inferior to Usyk and only ever defended his title vs 1 guy

 

Wlad should've been DQ'd a handful and he's lucky Vitali wouldn't put hands on him.

 

Wladimir Klitschko reached his prime at 39 and his ultimate physical peak at 41, i believe whatever they say on Sky Sports.

 

As I recall this fight was just two tall guys flinching and hesitating in front of each other all night. It was absolute garbage.

 

37 year old version of any fighter beats 40 year old version.

There are a few rare examples of boxers who peak late (32 and older) only because they've had slow low wear careers.

 

Traditionally in the HW division the old guard ALWAYS eventually lose out to the younger fighter in their prime. The only times that didn’t happen was when Lennox Lewis retired but he came close vs Vitali and Marciano retiring. Nothing to be ashamed of it’s simply how the torch is passed..

 

He did better than Joshua vs usyk and he is getting a pretty undeserved rematch for huge money.
