    Opinion: A motivated Fury would have stopped Wlad in a rematch.

    -Wlad had an average inside game.

    -He didn’t have the greatest chin.

    -He was on the decline.

    -Fury has an exceptional record in rematches because he is very good at analysing and reading fighters. Every rematch he’s ever had, he’s won by stoppage.

    This is just an opinion though, so please don’t get all emotional about it.

      I do believe that a motivated Fury would have definitely beaten and possibly stopped a 40-41 year old Wladimir Klitschko. What's interesting is that Fury didn't seem motivated back in 2016 so Wlad could have very well turned the tables and avenged his loss if the rematch had happened.

        No way, Wlad is not Wilder. Fury was at his best when he fought Wlad and barely landed a clean power punch the entire fight. Fury's was an elite fighter but it's very unlikely would ko any other elite fighter, especially Wlad. Not impossible, just unlikely. Wilder btw is not elite and never has been anywhere close to it imo.

          The way Wlad fought AJ he seemed more determined to win than when he fought Fury and I honestly think AJ only beat him from youth grit and serious pop on his punches. The same Fury that fought Wilder last Saturday would've made it a fun fight though.

              He never came forward against Wlad in the first fight though, he beat him purely off the back-foot.

                Doubtful. Wlad is a better defender, and knows how to clinch.

                  A rusty Fury looking to box still pinpointed and stunned Wilder in the first fight. An in shape Fury never managed much of anything vs Wlad if I remember. Wilder is just very vulnerable.

                    I actually thought he was far more determined to beat Fury. He liked AJ whilst he hated Fury and wanted to teach him a lesson, he had far more success against AJ but that wasn’t due to motivation. It was because AJ is a far better matchup for Wlad stylistically and to put it bluntly because Fury is a far better fighter than AJ.
