    The best version of Tyson Fury would outbox any version of Vitaly. Fury is stylistic nightmare for Vitaly and Vitaly isn't a huge puncher that could have KO'ed Fury with a sigle punch.

    H2H sure but P4P no chance. Jimmy Krankie is a beast.

    Vitali was an excellent heavyweight who would give any man in history a difficult night. He never had a great resume but that happens in boxing.

    Not as talented as his brother but was stronger and had an exceptional chin.

    In his prime he very well may have beaten all 3, though I think smart money would be on him beating 2 of them and losing to 1 of them. And choosing between the three in regards to who he beats and loses to is way too difficult and can see all three posing him problems in their own ways. In no way do I think he easily beats any of the three, not a chance. Vitali was one he'll of a champion and one of my favorite HW's in modern history, so thats no disrespect to him, I'm just being real. All 3 are too good for anyone to have an easy night with besides a hypothetical fighter who's style, talent, and skills matchup perfectly against them -- basically a fictional HW that doesnt exist.

    Yeah, Vit's my favorite modern era boxer, probably still my choice for H2H #1 all time, but all three have the size, skills or power to pose problems Vit never had to face before. Chances are he'd lose to at least one, at least by cuts.

    Ya totally agree, but h2h I have him tied with Lennox Lewis and same in regards to favorite HW in modern history. But ya totally agree brother.

    As crazy as it sounds, even though I can see him losing to any of them, I just cant envision any of them stopping him besides on cuts as you said.

    Well, since AJ almost got KOed by ancient grandpa Wlad, obviously prime Vitaly would tear him a new *******. Vitaly by TKO 9.
    Since Wilder's best asset is his power and Vitaly has an iron chin Vitaly tears him a new ******* as well. Vitaly TKO 5.
    Vitaly vs Fury would be interesting. I think Vitaly would be a favourite since Fury beat :
    Chisora, who Vitaly beat with one arm when he was 40.
    Fury also beat an old Wlad
    and had a draw with prime Wilder (fury should have won). I'm not sold on Fury yet, because Wlad was too old and Wilder was outboxed by such super boxers as Shpilka and Washington until he caught them. The only difference is that Fury survived Wilders bombs.
    Vitaly close UD, but wont be surprised if Fury wins a UD.

    I think Vitaly would school Wilder and stop him late. AJ biggest weakness is his stamina and Vitaly had great stamina, so he would also probably stop him late although I can see Joshua stopping him on cuts. But Fury is really a stylistic nightmare for Vitaly. Vitaly had problems landing punches against elusive but very small bioxers like Byrd and beane, and, on the other hand, he got hit more than once against very tall but extremely slow and stiff Timo Hoffmann. Fury is both vety tall and very elusive - it's the worst combination possible for Vitaly.

    Very good fighter at his best. Handful for anyone.. Wilder is poor technically but has freakish power. Vitali would probably stop him imo you can't miss on Deondre, he's a zombie on meth! Byrd made him hyper extend & tear his shoulder because he's short, slick & elusive, you can't hyper extend against a demented baller like Wilder, he's so inept he knocks himself over!

    I know Fury didn't stop him but he's not a noted puncher anyway, more of an awkward counter puncher who can switch hit & befuddle an opponent with slick gypsy movement etc

    & Tyson had only just rolled out of greggs pasties anyway, & fancied a warm up fight in America, got caught admiring his own work but had the fortitude to get up & give us a rendition of American pie.. A homage to his previous 2 years

    :)
