    Fury, Bowe, Vitali

    Vitali faltering going life and death with plodding OAP Lennox really drags him down

    Prime Bowe would have beaten both.

    Both Bowe and Vitali in their primes would have beaten the fraud that is Fury.

    Who did Prime Vitali beat who can even get near Fury's massive corey? Nobody that's who. Wlad & Vitali had one of the weakest era's, big men, stick a big jab on smaller men that was their reigns and still faltered against some proper mediocre guys.

    Vitali would never lose to Ngannou, that I know for damn sure.

    And Vitali wouldn't need a rematch to sort out Wilder. Wilder would have been crushed in under 4 by a young Vitali.

    Fury sucks. Beat a 2,000-year-old Wlad and a bum in Wilder, that's it.

    Good question
    I think this could arguably be put in any order depending on what you are looking for -

    I think overall if not the best wins Vitali may have been the most consistent and possibly has the overall best resume

    - WBO HW champion H Hide
    - WBC HW champion S Peters
    - Former WBO HW champion C Sanders (didn't lose WBO title in the ring)
    - Former WBO HW champion S Briggs
    - Future WBA regular HW champion M Charr
    - Former WBC CW champion Gomez
    - Former WBC LHW and Former Ring and IBF CW champion T Adamek
    - C Arreola
    - K Johnson
    - T Hoffman
    - A Sosnowski
    - D Chisora
    - D Williams
    - Former WBA CW champion O Norris

    For those saying Bowe would have won head to head against either...based on what? He struggled with medium punchers like Holy and Golota, and avoided the big punchers like Bubonic plague.

    As for their rank, pick the names out of a hat. Bowe has the biggest single win, but none of his other names were impressive except Holy 2, which was post-heart attack and not historical. Some of his wins were outright fraud, including the Tubbs fight, which most at the time thought washed-up Tony won, and several he should have been disqualified for.

    I guess you can give it to Bowe on one win.

    But Fury damn near losing to Ngannou doesn't lower Fury's status? You really think Bowe and Vitali would struggle the way Fury did against Ngannou?

    Vitali, Fury, Bowe just based on number of good wins over good fighters. Also something to keep in mind for those ranking Bowe over Vital, He knocked out two guys who gave Bowe some trouble (Herbie Hide and Larry Donalds) so idk i think two wins over Holyfield aren't better then that but that's just my opinion

    Good thing Vitali and Fury aren't big punchers. Good chance Golota hit harder than both, especially Fury who struggles to turn his punches over

    Vitali is a bigger puncher than than holy or Golata. At one time he has the highest stoppage percentage of heavyweight champs. Yes, most were not clean knockouts, but that takes some power.

    I don't buy it, nobody spoke of his power as stellar, he had heavy hands like Golota but a much higher workrate so that can explain the stoppages. Also Vitali doesn't have Golota inside fighting skills but his durability was insane and he was very awkward. I think Vitali beats Bowe, not Fury
