Weird comparison. It's like saying: Imagine Ali vs. Holmes, except twice as bad for Ali etc.....
Stylistically its an interesting comparison though. Wlad likes to fight in straight lines, likes to fight opponents who stay in front of him where he can control them with his jab and his size. Ali, like Fury, would not allow Wlad to fight like that. He would be moving, manipulating rhythm and distance, changing the angle, moving his head etc etc.

Really bad style for Wlad imo.
I obviously dont disagree, it was just comparing a wlad at 40 in his second to last fight that rubbed my feathers. Hence why I took Ali in his second to last fight and in the same way you can compare Holmes to Wlad as you compared Ali to Fury. Like Holmes, Wlad had an outstanding jab, better footwork and punchpower. Worse chin also ofcourse, but chin shouldn't be a major issue for Wlad in a fight against Ali.
Wlad wouldn't be able to touch him. Too stiff, too slow and wide open for counters. Granted, he beat a very slick Chris Byrd 2x, but Ali is much bigger and quicker on his feet. This speaks more to how overrated Wlad is, and not so much to Ali's greatness. Wlad would be the perfect opponent for Ali.
