    prime vitali would outpoint fury, who is really a glorified fringe contender who got lucky - vits has proved he can handle them. Its wlad who got serialy destroyed by them


    but fury would beat 40something vitali by tko, outgassing him.

    Prime Vitali beats Fury IMHO, he's just a bit too tough. Bear in mind that it was a close fight with an old Wlad, and prime Vitali is clearly better H2H than a 40-year old version of his brother.

    A retired Vitali? Of course Fury wins.

    Vitaly is not timid like you know who. Fury might clown him in early rounds but he will step up the pressure and try to get Fury out if he falls behind.

    Yes. He would have outboxed him even easier. Vitali is overrated as hell.

    Vitali/Fury would have been a good fight. Wlad was mentally fragile against Fury. Vitali would not have messed in the head like his brother. It would have been exciting fight and close but I give the edge to Vitali

    I think the Vitali that fought Lennox would take fury out.

    No. Vitali would have walked through Fury's punches like a machine to land his own. Vitali would not have fought cautiously had he somehow found himself behind in the fight. He would have let those hands go, winning by clear decision over the Fury that beat Wlad.

    Tyson Fury is the greatest heavyweight of all time...people have just yet to realize it...and Fury himself has yet to consilidate this fact.

    No rioded up stiff robot will beat this man

    Come the end of this year it will loom on you all.

    Would have slapped Foreman silly.

    Danced around Ali

    Flatten Joe Louis with his shear size

    Would have broke Mike Tyson mentally and made him pull out of the fight

    Prime Lennox is the only one who might have stood a chance

    After Wlad boxes AJ's head off just remember Fury boxed Wlad's head off...and he didn't even use everything he had...

    Vitali got his ears boxed off by Byrd and made to look silly. Fury would do the same without dropping a round in the process.

    Hard to tell, Fury is so unorthodox that I'm not sure if Vitali could have walked him down. I suspect he would have been far more aggressive than Wlad but how much was that Fury???
