    In a few years yes... but it will be due Vitali's age and not Fury. Fury would not be able to out muscle Vitali and would be KOed in short order had they fought 2 years ago. If they fight in a few months Vitali struggles but wins. Fury was decked by Cunningham who has no power.

    Not sure Joe Louis can go past 5 with Tyson, but against Foreman I see Louis getting the win. Same thing with Liston. Pinklon Thomas? Maybe Holyfield? Holmes? Bowe?
