Would you say Tyson Fury is one of Wlad's top ten opponents?

    It's arguable but hard to say at the moment, I think it'll be more clear after the fight, if he folds in a round or two, then probably not.

    It's at least arguable, and I think I'm inclined to say yes.

    Wlad is almost 40 and he slipped a lot , so yes he is vulnerable and fury may look like he's top 5 opponent , not because he is , but because Wlad is way past prime.

    Actually he can beat him and not because he's good , just because Wlad is not that good anymore.

    Based on wlads last performance ,he aged o lot, his jab, power, defence is not what it used to be. Prime wlad would destroy Fury the way he destroyed austin , but Wlad of today may very well lose this fight.

    Have you ever thought it might be that Jennings is far better than people thought he was, I definitely ranked him higher than Fury even before the Wlad performance, Jennings fought an intelligent very spoilerific match and did everything in his power to survive and not get hit flush, and Wlad has never been one to go looking for the knockout, see David Haye fight, he only takes that chance when an opportunity presents itself to him, like with Pulev.

    Jennings fought a hell of a fight, but it was pretty obvious Wlad is past it.
