    Fury's wins over Wlad and Wilder are better than any win on Vitali's resume.

    I can agree that Vitali's record has more depth. However, the two points that I made remain: Fury has the better top notch wins (Wilder, Wlad) and Fury has no losses (while Vitali has 2 losses). On that basis, I am still not sure that Vitali has a better record than Fury.

    You critizise that Fury beat a past prime Wlad. Yet Vitali was stopped by past prime Lewis. I hope this clarifies things up.

    Yes, Vitali has a better resume.

    What makes Wlad, at age 39 a top notch win? Wlad didn't win a fight after age 39. Fury caught him at at time when Wlad was old and under focused. Fury was in shape ( likely on PED's ) and focused. Do you give Berbick credit for beating Ali, or Charles for beating Louis? Well Wlad was even older.

    WIlder beat who? Exactly. The win won't look as good when time passes unless he can bet Fury and Joshua without losing to anyone else. That's not happening. WIiler was hyped and protected. No more, now he's making excuses about a ring outfit being too heavy, and got hurt in round two. Imagine what would happen if Sanders, Hide, or Peter hit him?

    Face it he's a glass cannon type who can't take it to the head or body, and gets quickly worn down in the clinches thanks to his pin like legs. Open defensively, which doesn't help and he can't keep guys off with a jab alone.

    It was a question. I was wondering if Fury had another top ten win. I guess Fury's stuck on 2 top ten opponents beaten. Thanks Dino, my guess you were trying to smear Klitschko again, but you diminished Fury too.

    Ring magazine ranked opponents beaten.

    Fury 2 ( Wilder, very old Wlad). Was Chisora ranked when Fury fought him? If so he's on 3

    Bull crap... Wlad was fighting for legacy and not for money at that point. Beating Fury would would have meant passing Joe Louis defense count so that fight was one of , if not the most important fight of his career.

    He was also very aware of the praise Manny used to give Fury and badly wanted to shut him off inside the ring for all his pre-fight antics.

    Your lame excuses are about meaningful as Wliders costume excuses.

    Answer this , for the second time.. Whats Vitali's best win? Who did he beat that proves he could beat a master tactician like FURY?

    Fury beat a Ring/Lineal Champion and a #1 ranked title holder with multiple defenses . .. Vitalis highest ranking win is over #2 Sam Peter who was washed up at the time.

    Yes Wilder and Wlad are top notch wins, better than anything Vitali has beaten. You usually make reasonable points but the arguments you made in this post are quite disappointing I must say.

    Fury is bigger than vitali and it does not depend of anything. It is a fact

    Great question, Vitali had a great defense and was hard to hit just as hard to hit Fury, I think Vitali was a physically stronger boxer than Fury but Fury is more agile and has better foot work, this is really 50 - 50 in my opinion and it's hard to tell who would win...

    His defense consisted of leaning back from punches. Hardly great. You saw what happened against Lewis.

    At age 39 this wasn’t close to a prime Wlad . That is my point.

    yeah he made Lewis miss often.

    lewis was a top boxer puncher.

    punch stats landed. Vitali 156, Lewis 102
    Jabs landed. Vitali 77, Lewis 55
    Power shots landed. Vitali 79, Lewis 50
    Score cards all 4-2 for Vitali.

    so there you have it. Vitali vs a top boxer puncher.

    fury is not in Lennox class.

    You make little sense, you diss Fury's win over Wlad because he was 39 yet you w**k over Vitali's LOSING effort to Lewis who was age 38.
