Hmmm Fury is actually significantly bigger than Wlad

    Fury is 6'9 while Wlad is 6'6, has an 85 inch reach compared to Wlad's 81, and weighs nearly 270 pounds while Wlad is nearly 250. So I don't think Wlad can bully Fury like he did to Pulev, Povetkin and Haye.

    When was the last time that Wlad fought a guy significantly bigger than him that was as slick as Fury?

    Still think Wlad is #1 in the world but based on styles i think Fury gives Wlad more problems than anyone else on the planet.

    It won't matter. He's getting face planted by Wladimir.

    Watch the Wach fight if you want to see what Wlad does to bigger fighters Fury won't make it out of the first round if its the Wlad that beat Pulev that shows up.

    Fury doesn't hit hard enough to get Wlad's respect.

    We have seen flashes of power from him, but usually he just flicks his punches with nothing behind them. Since, hypothetically, he has Wlad next, there is not going to be much chance to re-learn setting down on them.

    Fury's got a glass jaw

    He'll freeze in his tracks by the first stiff jab from Wlad that lands

    Then he'll taste the left hook bazooka or right hand bazooka and it'll be night night for him

    any of the punches that dropped Pulev would probably knock Fury out cold

    Yea but Mariusz Wach is a stationary golem. Fury is a slickster that can fight southpaw.

    This. Fury doesn't put his body weight behind many shots, he does let his hands go a lot which is good but it's mostly arm shots. Wlad's typical clinching defensive strategy probably won't be effective against Fury, but by that same token, Fury is not as used to dealing with a fighter he doesn't vastly outrange and is pretty open defensively, besides also having far worse technique in general. Unless he's packing a better chin than it appears, I doubt he can take Wlad's shots or get to Wlad before Wlad gets to him. Still like to see it though.

    Problem is, that while big, Fury is significantly less athletic. He really relies on his size and against Wlad he won't be that much bigger. Also, he shouldn't weigh 270 - when he does it Means he's carrying too much fat.

    So a combined 8 KD's is bullying? :lol: Did the mean man throw too many hard punches?

    It's called boxing.....a sport where you are supposed to HIT and dominate your opponent.

    If you think it's bullying, better find something else to watch

    Don't be ridiculous, while I like Wlad and rate him high, it's obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that he physically bullied Povetkin and threw him to the ground (illegally) multiple times. He also manhandled the smaller Pulev in clinches.

    He doesn't have that size advantage against Fury, who is a beast on the inside and can punch in clinches. Hence why I think Wlad vs Fury is the most interesting fight at heavyweight.

    He could even be stronger than him.

    He deadlifts more than 500 lbs. He could deadlift 2 Wladimirs.

    He got dropped bad by an overhand right from Cunningham, what's Wlad's favorite punch a very very stiff straight right, Fury doesn't have a chance

    Except, it's boxing....not weightlifting. Fury may be stronger in some aspects, but in boxing ability he's significantly inferior to Wlad.
