Wlad's legacy will certainly be effected. Just like no matter how old he was losing to Vitali would effect Lewis's legacy. He will still be remembered as a great champion but the number of people who compare him to ATG's will significantly decline.
I agree with this too. I just can't see a guy like Fury taking Wladimir's titles away from him. This is a very important fight that Wladimir needs to win. Fury's not in his league though, so there are no worries.
It would be a huge win for Fury, because many clowns give hi no chances so that would be huge credits for him, while it wouldn't be a big loss for wlad because he's old and his hairs are grey
I think it depends how he loses. If he gets outworked and loses by a close decision. It will be chalked up to his being older. This won't do much damage to his reputation. If he gets knocked out it will cement his reputation as being a chinny champ who feasted on weak opponents.
