The sooner Fury loses the better, boxing is a laughing stock whilst he holds the lineage. I don't see it being a lengthily period him holding the belt with Luis Ortiz kicking around, the same Luis Ortiz I believed would be the biggest threat to Wlad before he lost his belts.
The heavyweight division was the least entertaining it's ever been while Wlad was champ. Just zero entertainment all round. Having Wlad as champ was like having a big negative black hole sucking all the fun and unpredictability out of the division, with fat, apathetic bums with padded resumes queuing up to get knocked over in boring fashion or quitting on their stools.
Since he lost the division has come alive again, with brutal, competitive matchups against top ten fighters once more occurring on a regular basis. The fact that people still don't rate Fury is great, since everyone will be gunning for him in the hope they can be the next champ, and Fury is crazy enough to make every fight a nailbiting, edge of your seat affair. A million miles away from those interminably tedious Wladimir performances, where you knew exactly how the fight would unfold long in advance.
If Fury's reign is short, so be it. He'll have done his job and saved us from the division's worst representative since Jess Willard.
Wlad is impotent when he fights Fury, that's also a fact.
Is he still the second best heavyweight on the planet until proven otherwise? Yes.

well he wouldn't, as Vlad would be right back at the top
Fury could have defended his IBF title easily during this layoff.
Wlad needs a Teddy Atlas in his corner screaming at him. Steward riding his ass between every round lit the fire under him in the Haye fight that kept Haye from stealing rounds, it was Wlads best performance to date.
Wlad is not a confident guy, it's always been mental with him. With Banks in his corner, it's like he's out there all alone.

With the Klitschkos, who knows. They have a complicated dynamic, as brothers do. Wladimir can't do the things Vitali did, I can see having Vitali in the corner potentially going badly.

I know, it could seriously wind Vlad up, well both of them. So probably a bad idea. I just want to see someone get in his face. Like Steward did when Vlad fought Eddie Chambers for example. Banks is great but you won't see him shouting at Vladimir.
