    I am rooting for Fury, not because I like him, but because he will be a better fight for Vladimir. Chisora will get hugged and tired out like the rest of them. Fury can make it a scrappy affair and more interesting, due to his size and at times unpredictable style.

      Chisora is a more dangerous opponent, IMO. He has a troubling inside game. Steward said the same.

      Fury is a little underrated on NSB, but he doesn't do anything that well. His footwork is so poor, he'd likely get knocked down by one of Wlad's jabs.

          Fury matches up better with Wlad than does Chisora. Wlad is very good at finding shorter and smaller fighters than him. He uses his superior reach and jab to keep the shorter fighters from coming in and working on the inside. He'll use the clinch tactic to tie up the smaller fight and then reset.

          Last year Fury looked like he was developing a more rounded game and adding nuances to his style. He can fight in southpaw stance as well as the orthodox one. I think Fury is also slightly taller than Wlad and has a longer reach. This makes the fight more interesting because it will be harder for Wlad to tie up Fury, well maybe - I'm not so sure.

          Best case scenario: Fury wins his fight with Chisora in dominant fashion and then is super motivated to train properly and give Wlad a good fight.

            You know what happens to a smaller guy trying the inside game. The Povetkin fight is the example. Chisora isn't a prime Mike Tyson or Joe Frazier, he has nothing special or very explosive. He will get clinched and pushed down, drained for energy.

            I think you are one of the guys underrating Fury. He isn't bad, he has pretty fast hands actually and is still on the learning curve at a young age and is supposedly in the greatest shape of his life. He takes out Chisora, you wanna bet?

              fury has the better chance but they'd both get folded within 8 rounds. not enough explosiveness from either guy to get to wlad and I dont think either takes a great shot. chisora hasnt showed the same chin since haye dented it

                I think Fury beats Chisora. People say Chisora has the better experience opposition wise, which is true, but Fury is fresher and hungrier in my opinion. Plus he will be the bully of the two in the ring. Expect a dirty scrap.

                  I wouldn't use the Povetkin fight as an example for what could happen to Chisora against Klitschko. Tony Weeks warned Klitschko early on when he started leaning against Pulev and Klitschko stopped.

                  It would entirely depend on the referee.
