I'll second this.... Furys power is middleweight
It is true and that is what makes his success so remarkable. People hate it and it is not pretty to watch, but what he did against Wlad was masterful. Wilder for all his absolute shit boxing ability has more than enough pop to slow Fury down and knock him off his gameplan down the stretch, even before he potentially levels Tyson with the highlight KO. Fury has to hope he can frustrate Wilder enough to just sap him of that potential before the late rounds.

Wilder is not the Wlad that threw everything at AJ but he is much more than the Wlad who was mentally lost in his fight with unfathomably slick and quick big Gypsy lummox. It is much more likely that Fury gets stopped by Wilder but however painful it may be to watch I hope he can frustrate and outpoint Wilder. That way the huge stadium fight with AJ happens (if he survives Povetkin) whereas I think Wilder's team and Hearn just dig their heels in and fuck it up for everyone else if the Alabaman wins.
