    It's taken me a long time to pick a winner with Wlad and Fury.

    I've taken many factors in to account.

    I've considered Wlad's strength and experience, his boxing ability, a student of the late great Emanuel Steward.

    But I'm picking Tyson Fury.

    Here's why....

    - klitschko is not the same fighter under Jonathon Banks, I believe Banks could be a great trainer but he is not the guy to motivate Wlad like Steward did, we saw this in his fight with Jennings, that's a fight that Manny would have demanded a KO.

    this is the biggest reason why I'm picking Fury....

    - Fury like his name (which is tongue in cheek) is actually too fast and I'm talking hand speed, as much as you don't know what to take serious fron Tyson's rants, I actually agree with him when he's says Wlad's best chance is in the first round. As the fight goes on, I only see Fury getting better and peppering him with his hand speed and switch hitting. Tyson does not have one punch power and I can't see him flattening the champ in devastating fashion but I can see the tide turning and picture a scenario with Wlad not getting off his stool for the next round.

    - height and reach are also big factors here and Tyson has the ability to sidestep which could be very effective.

    - does Wladimir have the ability to dig deep? We saw him dig deep against Sam Peters many moons ago to get off the canvas three times to clinch a decision but like I said that was a long time ago and Wlad has not had to deal with a real challenge since.

    - the will to win. I do not believe Tyson Fury will ever be dedicated enough to compete with Wladimirs longevity in the game due to his lifestyle, I believe Furys peak will last 3 or 4 years top, possibly less....but his time is now, he's a huge man, a smart man, a young man in the prime of his life and I believe he has the will to win. This is his time and I think he knows he's going to Germany to become champion of the world.

      What interests me the most about Fury is what he will actually do after Vlad beats him.

        I think it's more interesting to think of what he will do after he beats Wlad. Does he body Wilder and Povetkin, and defend his kingpin status for 20 title defenses?

          Fury is entertaining, but Vlad has all the experience and interact to shut him out.

          Most of fury's opposition has been pretty p1ss poor, and mentally he is fragile.

          It's an intriguing fight though, anything could happen.

            I don't think Fury will have a long title reign. He reminds me of Bowe in more ways than one, and like Bowe I think his star will be short.

                Is there in fact an argument for labelling Fury the GOAT heavyweight?

                    No, not by a long chalk. In fact, given boxing's lesser standing among the general populace in both the UK and the US as well as the perceived weakness of the division, I don't think it would ever be possible. People still have a hard time putting Wlad in their top ten, preferring fighters like Foreman and Liston and even Dempsey over him, and he has about as firm a case as any to be in there.

                    Fury would need to capture the imagination in a way no one has seen since Tyson and Ali and go on to dominate against a long line of equally well known and respected opponents to even be in with a chance, as well as eliminate all traces of his former oafish past, which given his bodytype and personality is never going to happen.

                    It's an impossible task.

                      Mentally he's one of the strongest fighters in the ring. He literally never gives up. Outside it is a different matter.
