    I don't think Wlad is coming back for any big wins even if he beats Fury.

    Beating Fury would in itself be a big win, by default.

    He was the lineal champion.

    You misread the comparison however.

    My point is that Leon Spinks, is the only lineal champion who had one big win, and the other people cited as being among the weaker lineal champions, all had two or three.

    I think that Fury will fall into that category at least.

    It looks like a jab, straight, jab, straight, right uppercut combo.

    But Johnson does well to parry much of the attack.
