Vlad's effort against Fury was the single most gutless performance by any Heavyweight Champ in the history of the sport. It sickened me to see the crown that I had grown up revering as the highest mantle in sport treated in such a cowardly and spineless manner - by the long time champ no less! I won't break it down and list the sins committed by Vlad that afternoon but, I will say that he will never regain my respect nor the title.
AJ will overwhelm Vlad and should notch up his 19th consecutive KO. Vlad will resort to pawing, flaying, grappling, leaning and the odd pirouette - anything but trying to box! - in order to try and contain AJ. Vlad is done full stop.

It seems to me like time has dulled the memory. When fury beat klitschko it was "klitschko is done, washed up, doesnt have the heart for it, cant pull the trigger"
Now suddenly 14 months later everyone thinks klitschko is still in his prime and is going to be way too much for his most dangerous opponent in years, i dont understand it?
I picked AJ based on common sense, to me its more likely klischko will be even worse than in the fury fight than him suddenly turning the clock back to his prime.
