This might be true, but this fight is the first time ever Wlad lost partly because of his 'heart' so I am not sure about a 'big issue'. It is...
I understand this take, but you need to remember that Larry Holmes had no plan B for Michael Spinks, Muhammad Ali had no plan B for Leon Spinks....
So, why is it that no-one of the hundreds of heavyweight boxers out there who box "better" than Fury can't beat him?
Tyson performed some good head movement there. Wonder if he had trained with Rooney, if that was the case then this is just what everybody has...
Yeah yeah, size alone doesn't win anything. It is YOU who should remember that. If Fury or Wlad were merely big and tall, they wouldn't have...
Al "Blue" Lewis took Ali to 11th round and kept it somewhat close, but anybody today is vastly inferior to him? Ken Norton beat Ali, maybe twice...
No, just that the fight isn't as ludicrous as it seems when you compare their looks. So far, I pick Ali about 9-3 but let's see what Fury does in...
The fact is though, if Ali were as good as he was in his highlight moments, then he shouldn't have dropped rounds to Chuvalo or Mildenberger. In...
Good point
I am not sure if it was that Wlad was scared or just that his body couldn't react anymore the way it has (on other words, he has just become old)....
This. I'd pick him over several ex-champs, Moorer, Douglas and such
Surprising how many still mix entertaining and effective. It was an awful fight no question but there is a reason why Wlad hasn't been beaten...
Props to Fury. Whether or not Wlad is old at 39, Fury found the winning formula against him as a first guy in 11 years. It wasn't pretty but...
Wlad almost looks like Ali of Holmes fight even though Wlad is older. Ali lost his heart there too
Fury is winning. I am not sure if it is his style Wlad can't figure out or has he just gotten old at 40
If this is the case, it only means that Wlad is trying to gain some type of mental edge and unnerve Fury, not that he is worried himself. This...
This goes to prove that fighters are often deemed as shot way too quickly
Agreed. This is sad news for this very reason
They are, but in a good way
I don't deny that European people are stupid, only that Wlad wasn't popular which he is
This is true, but only if you keep your eyes on USA only. Over in Europe, Wlad is among the most popular champions ever, has sold out football...
Zaveck lost on cuts against Berto. He is a gutsy guy but a very average one in every way. I think he tries hard enough to allow Lara look good though
Wlad turns 40 in March btw. Only George Foreman has defended the title (universally recognized one) older, against Axel Schultz
Funny facts btw. Klitshko has been unbeaten for 11 and half years now. He hasn't been "the champion" all that time, but has fought at the top of...
I think this depends on how good Canelo's chin is. If it is very good, then I pick him to outwork Mosley. However Mosley of this time wasn't in...
Speaking of right hands and commies, Teofilo Stevenson had a superbly straight and accurate cross
This is true and it is interesting to think what causes it. I think it has something to do with the snappiness of his punches - he might be one...
I think the only problem people have is that IF Canelo is going to call himself the middleweight champion of the world, then he is supposed to...
If boxers do not improve after they turn 21 or so, I think trainers get paid way too much for 10+ of useless work
This is what we have often debated before. Some say that Canelo has already reached his prime: he has huge amount of fights and has fought the...
