    I doubt Wlad would land a power shot on him now. Fury is still pretty hard to hit clean as Usyk showed and Wlad couldn't land big on AJ after the early hits and swung away all night.

    Fury would land a lot more and almost certainly TKO him.

    In truth the rematch with Fury training properly would have been very interesting, maybe even a great fight, assuming Wlad 'let his hands go' as he promised. But Wlad delayed it with an injury then Fury started headbutting ring posts in the gym. That stuff happens in boxing.

    Whatever you want to say about the fight, it was absolute entertainment. Fury came out to a weird Jesus song as an incredible underdog, beat Wlad on points without a mark on his face, then sung his Aerosmith song while Wlad watched on in horrified shock. It was absolutely legendary.

    And I am one of the few who absolutely didn't think it was a bad fight. I like scientific boxing, and Fury's fans in the audience gave it a fun atmosphere.

    Maybe they should have a rematch now, although I would still rather see Fury-Joshua.

    Wad has always kept in shape. I'm convinced he'd still beat 75% of the top contenders.

    It kind of did usher in a new ers in the heavyweights but Fury had nothing to do with it, for the first few years anyway.

    Fury would pull off a clean UD, Wlad is too old but could last all the rounds...

    A guy who had a mental breakdown and got up to 400 pounds shouldn’t be mocking anyone. Fury’s duck of the rematch was disgraceful.

    I hope Usyk sends a message to Tyson reminding him about him being 6ft 20” and still getting his **** pushed in by a middleweight in 9 years time

    Go easy on Fury, it's his greatest achievement in his life. Let's allow him to be happy...

    Of all of Wlads losses only Fury didn't knock him out. In addition Wlad had a combined twenty three title defenses over his multiple reigns, Fury had what, three?

    Fury is the Al Bundy of boxing, reliving the one moment he was worth a crap. Too bad he pissed it away for years after.

    With Furys life style they might be closer i. Wear now.

    although I posted the chances of a Fury win are high.....I think Wlad would win. less likely yes....but I would place a wager on it. not a large one though.

    Both of them were decidedly unimpressive in that bout but a win is a win no matter how ugly and dreadful, especially against a dominant ATG. Thankfully what eventually occurred in Tyson’s career resulting from this showed he had a lot more in his locker, and Wlad had a legendary but failed final fight against the next supposed heir to the division. Cracked open the locked down vault of belts in what had been a quite boring reign as effective as steelhammer was, Fury did what he said he’d do, just not in the way he was proclaiming. I wonder if the Wilder 2 and 3 version of him could have taken Klitschko out. I’d have wanted to see that rematch for sure, give the great champ a chance to win his belts back.

    That fight didn't deserve a rematch.

    When the underdog wins and it's not clear that it wasn't a fluke is precisely when a rematch is warranted...

    And there's reasonable grounds for thinking Wlad wasn't nearly 100% - the fact he was desperate for it and Fury was the one that avoided tells you they both thought there was a question to be asked, and they agreed on the likely answer.

    They both knew Wlad would very likely win the rematch.
