    I can see both sides. Fury used his length and movement to frustrate Wlad, despite Wlad's greater power. AJ describes similarly in many ways, size and power. The big difference is he is MUCH more aggressive than Wlad. Hed thrown himself at Fury, and Fury wouldn't have the power to keep AJ off. He might have enough other attributes. I think Fury would have to adapt his game. Feints would be less effective against AJ than Wlad. AJ will just bore in. Fury's typically been a volume puncher, but used his stamina for the feints against Wlad. Maybe he needs to put more punches on AJ and hope his length, movement and reflexes can keep him from being countered too badly. It's about 55/45 for Fury for me, assuming hes prime. But alot of questions.

    It would ROCK for this fight to ever happen and answer those questions

    This fight will 100% happen as long as Fury gets in shape...and Fury knows it. Respect to AJ and even "that btch Eddie Hearn" as Fury would say.

    I love how AJ recognized what the fans want and will fight anyone.

    AJ actually might have saved Tyson Fury's life by beating Wlad...whether Fury wins loses or draws I think he will be happy and content afterwards and might be able to carry on with life with some level of stability.

    Gotta admit, I love the idea of AJ cleaning out the rest of the division, then getting the fight with Fury, then Fury beating AJ, only to quit again and let AJ dominate again. Be nothing like it in boxing history.

    I had £50 on Fury points vs Wlad at 12-1 when no one gave him a sniff. But I think you're over estimating the Fury performance. Fury got his game plan 100% spot on to win the fight but to be fair neither of them really threw or landed very many punches in what was a pretty dismal affair.

    It's one thing being able to avoid being hit when your opponent's not throwing very much and neither are you. But as Wlad found out, AJ is not going to let an opponent have that type of fight.
