Not based on what he's beat so far.

Joshua is the one to follow, Hearn Jr wants him in with the pikey next year, if it flies it makes more money that a Vlad fight, sad but true
I disagree.

I think the Fury fight will be very high on his list.

Low risk, high reward.

Most of the other coontenders have a punchers chance. Fury doesn't. But fans THINK that he does, thus inflating the fight.
Not sure m8, fury is significantly taller than wladimir(3 inches but it is noticeable) he is heavier and more importantly mr fury really knows how to make it rough, which is a favourite tactic of wladimir these days, I think wlad doesnt need to grab, hold and push around people as much as he does but he does it to gain an even bigger advantage over the enemy, if he takes on fury he will come up against someone who is his equal in using these roughhouse tactics but fury is taller and heavier so wlad can't rely on roughing them up... I do think wladimir is too good to be beaten by fury but it would not be as easy as his last fights have been due to furys size and excellent grappling capabilities... I would not be surprised if negotiations break down when trying to arrange this mandatory title fight... wladimir has bigger and easier fish to fry and fury can gain a shot at a vacant title(wbo) by being awkward...
