Should Wlad forget about Fury and target Wilder instead?

    if he doesn't jump on wilder now, he'll have to face povetkin again to unify. odds are that is why he postponed the fury fight.

    If Wilder has got away with fighting two bums as his first two defences, he will fight another 2 bums next year, as the WBC has shown a complete disregard for sporting fairness and honesty.

    Povetkin is not getting a shot anytime soon, thanks to the corrupt WBC.

    What doesn't Fury bring to the table.

    He's #1 Mando. I thought Wlad always fights his mando's?

    In what universe does the #3 Ring ranked and biggest name in the division bring nothing to the table? What sort of a muppet are you|?

    if he doesn't fight wilder now, he'll have to fight a rematch with povetkin to become undisputed. fury will fight a bum (or no one) in the meantime, and still be undefeated once wlad ko's wilder.

    Fury still arguably has the better resume than Wilder. Plus they were signed on to fight so obviously I'd prefer it actually happen... Fury also poses the on-paper threats that make a Wilder match interesting; top 5 HW, equal or greater height than Wlad, undefeated, and much younger than Wlad... Either way, Wlad rests easy the night of the fight. At his hotel victorious. Not in the ring, before anyone confuses that.

    Fury is a good stay busy fight for Wlad, during Wilder, Povetkin and WBC will make their fight..

    and by the way Wlad always fights his mandos.. so there isno Need for that question...

    I am very surprised took the mandatory..tell i realised fury forced wlad hand three times for that mandatory spot...he ranked 1 for WBA. IBF. WBO lol no where to hide ...wlad had to take it period.....maybe its not out of question for wlad to give up the WBO belt ..anythimg his possible.. I saw tyson spar two years ago....he reminds me of vitali but more skill...and stamina ...much quicker...its is arkwardness ...and very cunning at setting up traps ...one minute he on the ropes and they swinging ar him next minute he slips beautiful you have to see him...watch his fights closer .

    Wlad, chin is not the best. So, he better avoid Wilder for awhile.

    I'd prefer to see him KO Fury, that's a much more entertaining fight to me. But from a legacy standpoint I can see why Wlad would prefer to fight Wilder to unify the titles.

    He never had a raggle taggle Gypsy King as a mando before.

    That excuse was used for years to give Wlad a pass for facing total bums in fake , set up mandatory fights.

    Now that excuse has back fired:scaredas:

    Wilder will do nothing for anybodys legacy. He's on borrowed time and widely regarded as a complete fraud.

    Fury is the legacy fight.

    Wlad wants the WBC belt and if he can't fight Fury until February because of available dates on SKY TV maybe he can fight Wilder sooner and then fight Fury.

    Thats the worst possible out come for 2 reasons

    1-Povetkin vs Wilder must happen . If Povetkin wins he will probably get a fair chance to box Wlad in a rematch and not a Judo match like last time. Wlad would certainly lose in a clean fought fight.

    2- Wlad fights and beats Wilder. Then takes the belt back to Germany. Uses back breakers and neck locks to beat Povetkin again. Then takes a voluntary. Then retires having totally avoided Fury.

    Easier win, more money. Makes sense.

    do you ever wish you could shoot Vlad in the back Dino?

    just to get rid of him?
