    To a certain extent of course.

    Wladimir with Golovkin's style and mindset would be the hardest challenge for Fury.

    They've already got similar styles but Golovkin's is more developed and refined.

    I would like to see Wlad coming in and shifting his bodyweight left to right, feint a right hand and throw the hook and vice versa.

    Could be his chance of connecting either of his money shots.

    The first 6 rounds is his chance, or he will get TKO'd due to cuts if he fails while opening up.

    No. GGG has an iron chin, he's not scared to take a punch. He's also P4P a stronger puncher than Wlad. He uses these both abilities psychologically to break his opponent.

    Everyone will be willing to trade punches with Wlad if he fights like GGG.

    He also lacks the ring IQ of GGG.

    Yes, but he will be fighting Fury, and Wlad is a stronger puncher than Fury - who could go down just as well.

    Stylisticly - Wlad already shares some fundamentals with GGG.

    It would be worth a try at least.

    I'm hoping for the best versions as possibly on the 9th of July.

    Should fight like brother Vitali, who averaged 50 punches a round. Vitali would give Fury no peace or hiding place.

    His style wouldn't work against Fury's long and fast jab. TKO 5.

    But great for short guys.

    He doesn't really have to do anything different from the first fight to beat Fury. Fury is 45 pounds overweight and clearly can't handle the pressures of being a champion. Moreover his style relies heavily on reflexes and movement. Being as out of shape as he is, he's going to be a lot more hittable second time out.

    Vitali would get inside him and wreck him, prime anyway.

    Wlad being himself from the Pulev fight should suffice...

    Sorry, I'm not seeing the comparisons between Wlad and GGG's styles.

    I like Wlad but GGG is on another level when it comes to offensive boxing. And yeah, a HW version of GGG would absolutely murder Fury.

    Wlad just needs the footwork to close in on Fury.
