    Vitali. Tyson Fury has a much worse chin and almost lost to Wilder. I can see Fury getting chinned by a few top HW's in their primes.

    Its impossible to KO Vitali or win by points, only a lucky cuts victory/shoulder stoppage.

    It's impossible to win on points against Vitali ? LOL. So you're saying there's nobody in the history of the sport that could outwork Vitali ?

    Impossible to KO him ? LOL. Vitali's a human. Wilder or any murderous puncher has enough power to KO him if they lands enough bombs on the jaw.

    Vitali is a tough fight H2H but he's not some superhuman

    I'd fancy Vitali over Fury. He's got the workrate and chin and the power. That said I can see an argument for Fury too. As an outboxer Fury is a stiff prospect for anybody and if he catches you right you're gonna feel it.

    I want to say Vitali because I'm a Vitali fan but it wouldn't be a confident pick. I think Fury is more skilled and probably has a better ring IQ but Vitali with his work rate, chin and equally awkward style could give Fury real problems. I don't think Fury has faced anyone as good as Vitali and the strategy he used on Wlad won't work on Vitali but if anyone can find a way to win it's Fury.

    So I can't pick a winner, neither have faced a fighter like the other so I'm not even sure how the fight would play out.

    Fury licks both klits.

    Klits were size bullies.

    Before Vitali went life and death with Lennox who did he beat?

    Ross Puritty?

    Nobodies. He recovered his reputation knocking over plodders at the end of his career.

    To beat Fury you have to be a bigger version of Evander Holyfield. in and out of range, willing to work inside. Tough as nails. Rough tough. High workrate.

    Nobody posses the full package to trump Fury.

    Men with slow feet who slow heavily late are Fury's favorite meal, which is basically all super heavies.

    Stick the best version of Lennox in there then we'd get a fight.

    Vitali had lost fight vs Lewis via cuts and you are claiming how good Fury is and how bad Vitaly was?
    Fury had been floored by Cunningham= CW guy who had been multiple times floored in fight vs Glowacki and sorry, Lewis had been finished in distance but Vitali ( boxer you hate most likely cos his origin ) never had been down in pro boxing ring.

    I'm not disputing Vitali's toughness

    but being a tough doesn't win you fights. Ask Brandon Rios.

    It's very weird. Fury has two generational type wins and very little else. Vitali met a LOT of ranked contenders, but failed to beat most of the best fighters of his era when they were the best fighters of his era. They are sort of opposites in this regard.

    It would be a fascinating fight that is for sure.
