It's more realistic than Chagaev being top 5 which you claimed yesterday

Chagaev? Top 5? LOLOLOLOLOL

I knew Scott-Weiland was clueless, but that's just hilarious.

Wlad by KO within 3. A lot of these people on the Fury bandwagon are jokers they know Wlad does everything better than him. Apart from size what advantage does Fury have?

A better engine, better footwork, more heart etc. The only advantage Wlad has over Fury is raw power & big fight experience.

Speed, punch variety, balls, inside fighting game, reach, can switch stance seemlessly....

There are quite a few things.

No way does Fury have better speed or footwork (when Wlad uses it instead of holding). Wlad is the better athlete and better boxer, i agree Fury has more balls but that's not always a good thing and is better fighting inside (which counts for nothing with octopus Wlad).

Fury has better footwork than Wlad, watch his last two fights, watch his movement, it isn't even close tbh.

Fury is the better athlete, he throws roughly twice as many punches as Wlad does in a fight, and fights strong for 12 rounds, and unlike Wlad doesn't rely on clinching and leaning on his opponents every 10 seconds to conserve stamina. Wlad is known to gas, Fury looks as strong in the 12th and he does in the 1st.

Fury might look a bit tubby around the edges, and Wlad might look like a Greek Adonis, but Fury is the better, fitter athlete.

I would agree 3-4 years ago, but looking at his last 3-4 fights he looks slower to me, and doesn't use the ring like he used to before. Fury uses the ring better. I wouldn't say he has better footwork, but he has a lot of other things that could quite easily trouble Wlad. Like a long hard jab. All of 86" reach. That's 5 inches on Wlad.

Wlad don't want to hug Fury, he'll get an uppercut straight to the face.

Wlad will knock Fury out no problem.

Wlad couldn't even knock a rookie like Jennings out. Fury isn't going to stand straight in front of him like that bum Pulev.

Why "switching stances" is brought up so frequently? Is he any good in either stance? This video fragment alone shows backhanded jabs, which shall be picked upon by competent referee.

Which - aside from a distinct difference in skillset - are the two very best advantages that a heavyweight could possibly have..... experience and power.

I am not overly impressed with Fury, but I like him, and wish him the best.

I like that despite his size, his focus is on skill..... and I like that he doesnt load up on his shots.

I am picking Wlad by UD/late TKO, but hoping for the upset.

Good point about his workrate.

I like that he doesnt load up on his shots.

But my concern for this fight, would be Furys ability to absorb Wladimirs output for 12 rounds. Not sure that he is sturdy enough.
