    Now that Fury is set for Wlad, do you think he is happy with that? If you were Fury would you prefer Wlad or Wilder? Which would be a better fight for Fury? Right now it looks like:

    a) He gets KO'd by Wlad, his career goes into a downfall, he might go into retirement with his fat paycheck.
    b) He goes the distance with Wlad and loses with a close decision. He loses some momentum but still goes on with his career possibly keeping on fighting undersized B-grades while waiting for another shot at the vacant title once Wlad retires.
    c) He beats Wlad and becomes the new king.

    IMO option A seems most likely, but B is certainly possible as well. What do you think? Do you think this is the right fight for him at this particular point of his career? Would a fight with Wilder (or anyone else) serve him better?

    Wilder, it's still a dangerous fight as Fury's chin isn't much better than Wilder's, if at all. But if he wins he has a lot of leverage in a fight with Wlad and gets a far better payday than he would just going straight to Wlad.

    Thats right if he beats Wilder. On the other hand losing to Wilder will be far more embarrassing than losing to Wlad. He can survive a decision defeat to Wlad, but losing to Wilder will be a huge setback, or perhaps a career ending situation.

    Wlad. Against him you have the legitimate championship.

    Wilder. Fury has no chance against Wlad. Wilder is stiff without much of a skill set and can be beaten by a lot of top heavyweights.

    It depends.... Wlad for the payday, Wilder for actually having a chance at winning.

    Wilder

    much bigger chance of winning and gaining bargaining power (WBC strap) for potential unification of all the belts

    Both will obliterate Tyson. At least with Wlad you will be paid handsomely.

    I say Wlad. I think he gets stopped by both, but at least he gets the payday with Wlad. Either way he will soon be exposed.

    Wlad. If Fury wins he'll be well paid, and a legend.
