    Is the argument that he would lose to anyone near world class of the same size based on the fact that he has lost to a guy bigger than him (TF)? Are you conveniently forgetting that Wlad is ancient and has been past his prime for years now?

    you see, you are talking about his Hypothetical losses while I am talking about his actual wins. Many things can be said about Wladimir. No, he wasn't as tough as his bro, nor was he as fearless or had the same mean streak. But he was a superbly quick giant of a man that had power in both hands, excellent discipline and he has not avoided a single top fighter except his OWN BROTHER.

    • Mismatch
    • Aj, way too aggressive, powerful, technically great, too much timing, sharp, smart and way too much chin for fury to have any shot at seeing 2nd half.
    Mismatch
    DW, way too aggressive and powerful with no fear of anything fury could attempt.

    Haye I would pick today and tomorrow. Just too fast and powerful.

    Wlad, would win any rematch. A mentally lost Wlad barely lost (if one can call that losing) to fury and round 12 showed how that fight would go 99% of time.

    Parker, 60/40 fight only size disadvantage makes it close..too skilled, aggressive and too fast

    Fury could and should beat most the rest. I rate fury right around a 41 yr old wlad WITHOUT the power and technique

    AJ's aggression would be defused easily by Fury. He brings nothing to the table that Wlad didn't bring. He'd be worse off than Wlad since he hasn't 10 years of holding experience to stop Fury building up an acclamation stoppage.
    Only the trained eye can see the subtle skills and craftiness of Fury.

    AJ is all crash , bang , wallop which is why the casual fans are hanging off his nutsac and calling him a Tyson/ Ali hybrid.

    No one currently at HW today would I favor to beat Fury. Too slick too smart too big too good.

    Any puncher willing to let his hands go would have a decent shot at upsetting Fury. If you look at his very carefully plotted route to Wlad you'll notice a dearth of anyone approaching his own size and a real lack of punchers.

    Haye pulled out of two fights with Fury. He knew he'd get pulp'd. Ridiculous mismatch.

    Haye is too scared to even fight a guy like Charr and Gerber these days. He hasn't fought a real HW since 2012.

    I can imagine Fury outboxing AJ. If you watch Fury's previous fights you'd have to say Haye has best shot as he's a way way better version of Cunningham.

    fury avoided everyone with size, power, or skill on his way up. then he ran for the hills to avoid his rematch. he was going to be a flash in the pan no matter what.

    He didnt look a million miles past his best vs pulev.
    Either way you slice it,hes in great shape.it wasnt age,it was fear of being hit.
    Hes always had it against smaller fighters but jabbed or grabbed to avoid taking any big shots.fury out jabbed him,clowned him to his face but still didnr get any sort of reply from wk as he was terrified
