Hahaha glad Wlad lost but my god was that fight horrible to watch.

Both those guys looked horrible.

No kind of fluidity or natural movement with these guys.

Where's all the people that were on Wlads nuts calling him the p4p best?

A massive fraidy cat headlocking a slob. Woeful.

It's finally over. The Wlad Era is finally over. Boxing fans have a reason to rejoice today that we can finally bring the division back to worthiness. I'd be surprised to see Fury keep the title for any length of time but at least it's not in Wlad's hands anymore and now maybe we can see some interesting fights happen up high.

Did Max say that Clinchko landed 20 punches in he entire fight ?

Dreadful , worst performance ever .

Somewhere Corrie Sanders is laughing

Didn't know typos were that important to you.

Next time ill make sure to proof read it so you wont lose any sleep over it.

You must be a butt hurt Wlad fan.

Yes, as a spectacle boxing-wise it was shocking, but I take my hat off to Fury for doing something many have failed to do before and I hold my hands up , I thought he would be stopped inside 4

About as sh*tty as it gets

It wasn't a masterpiece; it was actually boring as hell.

But tactically, it was brilliant.

They clearly studied Wlad in depth and took huge advantages of all his tendencies.

Played him like a finely tuned instrument, from his cautiousness outside to his habit of holding inside.

Knew him from soup to nuts and had a gameplan that stymied Wlad the entire fight.

Fury fought exactly the same as most gypsys I've seen fighting, just hit and run and that's all. With his long tentacle arms it worked perfect scoring points. Klitschko should have accepted a punch and then hit him himelf to have a chance. Basically the same way Povetkin fought Wladimir. It's the only way to win against someone with a longer reach. Somehow I have the feeling Klitschko hasn't fought any boxer that was fast and had a longer reach as himself at the same time. In that case you get this.

Vitaly was always the better boxer. Lewis would have destroyed Wlad.

I have always felt the same.

Vitali would be competitive in any era. Wlad, not so much.

Two or three rounds of that crap and Vitali would have cut the ring off,
bent his knees, and looked to trade inside.

He would have walked right thru Fury.

Absolutely

Yup. Wlad hits harder but he's not a fighter.

I never ever understood people who said Wlad was better than Vitali.

That was painful to watch. Very very painful.

Vitali was always the better brother. Look at his results for proof. No one put him down or "beat" him. His 2 "losses" were via injury in fights he was winning. Wlad was beaten decisively numerous times. Vitali never.

Vitali could have always been better, but he ended up A) quitting against Byrd B) getting stopped by Lewis C) skipping out of the Rahman fight 3-4 times and retired for years. While he was gone, his brother was in full belt collection mode and Vitali played cleanup. The best win of his career was against Tomasz Adamek. Spare me the talk of his greatness.

All I know is that in his prime, Wlad gets KTFO by Ross Purity.
Few years later, Ross gets into the ring with Vitali and winds up horizontal.

Corrie Sanders makes Wlad do the chicken, then his very next fight gets put to sleep in 2 by Vitali.

Kinda obvious who is the better fighter.

That's all u got on vitali? A torn shoulder and cuts defeat in 2 fights he was winning?

He barely lost a round in his career. Had an iron chin and brut physical strength. He's a greater fighter than Wlad, by a distance.

Stick to topics about Floyd, brut.

Yeah, he lost his two most significant fights. He beat Sam Peter, Tomasz Adamek, Good 'ol Golfin' Corrie Sanders, and an array of bums. He was a commercial flop in the US when matched with Danny Williams on PPV.

Then he should have fought Rahman, not disappeared for 4 years, not let his brother take most of the tough fights when he came back, and not quit against Byrd.
