    Fury hasn't fought anyone as big as Wlad.

    Meanwhile, Wlad has fought guys around his height or taller.

    Pulev: 6'4
    Wach: 6'7
    Thompson: 6'6
    Pianeta: 6'5

    no, because he's slow, clumsy, poor defense and a chin that will not withstand Wlad's L hooks and straight R's

    If Wlad is fully fit, and he clearly was not in his last fight, then its clear he is a far better fighter than Fury and should win by a UD.

    Fury though has a chance, simply because he takes risks and he is a similar size and he does believe in himself. If Fury lands on that jaw of Wlad or Wlad turns up injured yet again, then Fury could take the fight.

    This is an exciting fight... I would walk over broken glass to watch this fight.

    peter fury has done a good job with fury using his jab and reach advantage. he totally neutralized hammer last time out with it. but, wlads quick feet even at 39 could give him problems.

    Not in the least. Let's get a grip here Fury looked good against a half dead Chisora and a completely worthless Hammer, he will never be on Wladdy's level, and will fall to the Highlight reel KO of 2015.

    but if he is getting paid well for this fight, he might stick around for the retirement check:D

    Fury has fought:

    Scott Belshaw 6'7
    Nicolai Firtha 6'6 [who went distance with Povetkin & troubled Wilder]
    Nasciemento 6'5

    He also spars all day long with his cousin, fellow unbeaten heavyweight and World Youth Gold Medalist, Hughie Fury who is exactly the same height as Wlad, 6'6.

    Klitschko's size won't be a surprise to Fury, Fury's size+reach+switch hitting combo will be alien to Wlad.

    This is an intriguing fight.

    size and power scare the **** outta fury. you named three complete bums. he has ducked every decent fighter with size and power that he was supposed to fight or that called him out.
