I think even a complacent Fury can still beat Wlad. He's a born fighter and can adapt in the ring when things go south. Wlad needs everything to be in place beforehand and to go smoothly on the night. That's why he fell apart so badly against Fury.
Fury still needs to prepare well of course, and it'd be a good test of his championship longevity to see how well he prepares for this coming in as the favourite. Wlad reigned so long because he never dialled it in, even against complete idiots like Leapai. Perhaps he would still be physically near his peak if he didn't go through the same gruelling process every time out, but given his past losses I don't blame him for wanting to cover all bases every time out.
