    I thought Wlad could really struggle boxing someone taller and heavier than him for once! Very little if any height advantage for Fury there though.

    No doubts about who the stronger man inside the ring will be then.
    Wlad will toss Fury around like a dirty rag.

    Wlad should be the stronger faster man in the ring.
    He's the career athlete not Fury who has trained well for one fight.

    Fury is going to have work his **** off in there and be awkward and land something big.

    Wlad on points I think

    I don't know about stronger strength is a very natural quality and fury has it in abunabnce , I think his stronger than wlad. His also got way better stamina

    Boxing is boxing. Superior strength doesn't mean much in boxing if you don't get to apply it in the fight.

    I suspect Wlad is the stronger man because he's been building his strength longer and is a muscular weight-trained type who has also been boxing for years. He has years of strength training and years of applying his strength in a boxing ring behind him.

    But Fury is strong enough, and the whole issue is whether he can box and fight, not whether he's as strong or stronger than his opponent.
    It's really not relevant if you get strategy and tactics right.

    I remember the furys saying that Tyson would have a near 4" height advantage because Klit was nearer to 6'5".
    But they looked at the weigh in bang on the same height!!

    Really? Furry has been pushed back in clinches a big part of Wlad game by the likes of Hammer and McDermott I don't see him being stronger than Wlad. Stamina is interesting he might be able to throw more for longer but I think Wlads will always be bigger shots and Wlad has been the distance numerous times so he can pace himself - he knows what's required.

    I want Fury to win I just think Wlad will but im pleased he's given himself a big chance with how in shape he looks
