    Nah, he's going to get a typical Klitschkoesque experience and come out on the wrong end of most exchanges.

    Perhaps Fury does not know. Perhaps, Fury has a severe bipolar disorder. And, perhaps on his "good" days, it's extreme confidence. On his "bad" days, perhaps its false bravado.

    I dont think so, I have a hard time erasing Fury getting flattened by a Cunningham right hand

    Fury really hasnt beaten anyone elite yet and seems vulnerable

    Plus Wlad destroys guys that are his size, they just arent athletic enough to survive or fight back

    Pulev tried manhandling and brawling with Wlad, and he ended up with his soul being eaten and spit out by the Ukrainian

    Yes fury is the second best HW in the world behind Wlad he's skilled and he has the size and in the HW division more so than any other division all it takes is one punch.

    Wlad doesn't know what he's in for. He has a bunch of yes men around him and is going into this fight with a false sense of security.

    Well Fury is in trouble if he can man handle Fury like he did to Pulev.

    I surprised to see him push him around with such ease.

    I believe Fury will be more physically imposing on the inside however. And if Wlad gets pushed back its game over.

    Yes and not because Fury is something special , but because Wlad is 40 years old.

    A champion who has been at it as long as Wlad doesnt think like that. Wlad knows that all he has to do is keep jabbing and clock him with occasional rights and Fury will fall, no way Wlad is gonna miss a target that big.

    The opposite is the truth. They go into each fight ****yzing the possibility of loss and not taking any chances. They ****yze Fury's weaknesses and will capitalize on them.

    Yes. Depends which Fury shows up. Either (a) Wlad gets manhandled and knocked the **** out, or (b) Fury boxes to a complete shutout win which, even with some dodgy German scorecards, results in a new Heavyweight champion.

    Wlad's time is over.
