Yeah not to take anything away from Fury's win against Wlad because it wasn't easy to do what he did, I think only Fury could pull off a gameplan like that. However I think Klitschko got complacent and I think Fury avoided the rematch personally. Wlad hadn't tasted defeat in ages but always came back strong from any loss. He looked so mad at the Fury vs Wlad 2 press conference(people forget there was one). It wasn't just that he got beat in frustrating fashion, or that he was mad at himself not getting his hands going. I think he'd got wind of Fury's failed drug test that was taken before the fight. Which alot of people are unaware of, which shows how good a job they did of keeping that under wraps. Credit to Wlad for not making a deal of it really, he just wanted the rematch and was denied his chance at revenge.
He was very sharp and determined to prove a point vs AJ. How anyone can look at that performance just a year and half later and claim "ah but he was old and finished mentally when AJ fought him" I don't know. They seem out of tune with reality. He looked better than he had done in a long time to me. He wasn't always boring to watch, 53KOs is better than a lot of all time greats and it's not like he avoided anyone. It's just that the competition was nowhere near him for a long time until Fury.
I'm not saying AJ beats Fury because I really don't know but the disrespect to AJ is getting ridiculous. There's people making excuses for Fury not needing to fight AJ, because Fury and team have been making that excuse already. I just hope it's all to get a better split rather than a sign that they will deny boxing fans what needs to happen.
