    <p>Fury would normally be the sort of guy that would annoy me but for some reason I'm warming to him</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Can he win this weekend (24 - 0)?</p>
    <p> </p>

    No he can't win IMO <br><br>
    Klitschko is arguebly the most underrated heavyweight in history , so clinical he is boring , but he will get the job done as he always does .

    <p>Fury talks a good fight, and turning up to the press conference dressed as Batman was hilarious.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It's not often Klitschko fights someone taller than him so I assume Fury has the greater reach.  Klitschko to win though.</p>

    <p>Fury is hopeless, big, unco and slow.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>In fact I'd go as far as the only thing going for him is his cool name :)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>good article below</p>
    <p> </p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>I'd like to see Parker take on Fury, I think he'd be way too fast for him.</p>

    The height could make it interesting , <br><br>
    Fury should have his moments , but I'm predicting Klitschko to keep throwing that sledgehammer jab keeping him out , frustrate the hell out of him and accumulate the points . <br><br>
    Go the distance or late tko . <br><br>
    Be good for boxing to see a new winner though .

    <p>Fury is a good talker and knows how to sell himself but is limited and not a real boxer. But he is huge and though cliched all heavyweights just need to land one punch to shock the world.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Wlad by decision .</p>

    <p>What a great name.  If he loses perhaps he could contact Vince McMahon about heading into WWE.  He doesn't even need character development, he's the full package right now</p>

    <p>it probably helps that not many boxers are good enough to punch him or his brother in the head.</p>

    Great vid Raz, both come across as respectful but yet eager to knock the other out. Can't see Fury taking this one, Wlad still looks in amazing nick despite being 'old'<br><br>
    He'll be too methodical but people forget he has devastating power at times too.

    <p>I've never really watched Wlad's fights and had a look on youtube last night. I'm no boxing expert but I have rarely seen anyone with his ability to hit hard from standing so far away. He seems outside of his own reach then leans forward at the same moment as the arm extends and thwack.</p>
    <p>As an opponent he must be a mare. Can't get close to him and if you stay away you'll just lose on points anyway.</p>
