    I think its a very common view that Vitali is a H2H beast. His iron chin, toughness, and huge size pose a problematic threat for every fighter. Many consider Vitali as the best H2H fighter because there isn't a style that has been identified that would neutralize him.

    But now we can encounter Tyson Fury. I think Vitali's only kryptonite is someone very speedy and mobile with good head movement. The problem is that many of these fighters are small and just by pure size difference Vitali could beat those fighters. Yet, Fury has elite head movement with a very big size. Fury wouldn't fight toe to toe with Vitali and would dance around with potshots. Beyond that, Vitali lacks the one punch power to catch Fury with anything big (which I think is Fury's weakness).

    This is a fight I would LOVE to watch if it was possible. I shouldn't doubt Vitali's skills. Vitali would have to adjust to Fury, H2H if I could put any fighter in against Vitali and I was a gambling man I'd throw in Fury because as we know styles make fights and his style would be a tough one for Vitali to solve.

    This is what psychologists call "hot hand theory."

    No, I like Lewis. Imagine what the Golota Lewis would do to the TK06 Klitschko

    Tyson Fury is Ali but with 1/10th the activity and 1/3rd the speed, i dont get why everyone is calling him a H2H great

    Fury would frustrate the hell out of most heavyweights in history and I'd include Vitali in that list

    Vitali had problems with men his size who had greater reach ,he was an excellent judge of distance against the smaller guys but his habit of carrying his hands low found him out against Lewis.Fury turns me off stylistically, but he would give the Ukrainian fits.

    Fury would play with Vitali. He’s significantly better on top of holding a style advantage.

    I really like Klitschko brothers, but man Vitali is overrated. Who did he beat? Compared to HW greats his resume is really poor.

    Furey would not be a good match for Vitali.

    Vitali could win 12-0 throwing arm punches. Fury has a very limited offense.

    Oh I'm sorry, it's not my fault Klitschko is severely overrated. It's not my fault he never proved himself against a good Heavyweight. It's not My fault Lewis tore through his face like wet paper mache.
