    I think Wlad will win, but I've noticed this as well. It's an almost eerie similarity in many ways: Old champ known as power puncher whose best punch is the weakness of the challenger. Old champ good sized for the time against a new breed of larger challenger. Champ more a power puncher, challenger more a volume puncher. Challenger doesn't have remarkable power, and has huge chin question marks, having been knocked down twice by lesser opponents, both challengers have beaten a similar number of their era's upper comp, sometimes unimpressively, both loud and boisterous and hated by fans.

    Again, I think Wlad will win by ko, but anyone not recognizing the similarities and the potential for an upset isn't being honest with themselves.

    I like Wladimir but Fury winning could help the game. Out with the old in with the new

    If Pulev can wobble Wlad with a Jab Fury has a chance
