    Prime Fury dismantles Vitaly like he did Vladimir
    And Hrgovic aint dominating anything. Lost to Dubois and lost 8 rounds against a novice

    Vitali would only lose to Usyk today, nobody else. Same with Wlad.

    Hrgovic needs to develop his right hand. Itatuma was primed for a straight right, Hrgovic rarely threw it & he has no overhand right. whatsever. He gets in close and does chopping shots at close range which works after he wears a guy down. Hrgovic could learn a thing or two from Zhang how to throw a straight right to the jaw. He did land a couple latter in the fight but he seems to not throw it often when people should be respecting it. It would at least slow some guy's down, if they had to worry about it.

    To be fair Wlad was a bit gun shy. Vitali would take a lot more risks it might be a different style match up.

    Vitali had an Iron Chin, Height, awkward lean back style and could go 12 rounds when needed. He’d obliterate someone like Itauma for example.

    His stance looks really Lennox-ish

    prime versus prime....Wladimir would stomp a mud hold in Dubois's ass and walk it dry.
    Both Klitschko's would beat the brakes off the heavy weights today. with the possible exception of Usyk.

    100% Disagree. It's an option. Option's ain't any kind of facts. Fury beat Wladimir that is a fact. You can paint it & spin it anyway you want..but Wladimir was 0-2 against today's heavyweights (fury & joshua) that much isn't an option. Facts indicate otherwise. I seen a litany of excuses for his performances but nothing is changing the fact no matter how you spin it. It's like a "prime" Sonny Liston would of had a much different outcome against Ali. You can spin it but it's not changing the fact of the matter. Option's don't override facts.

    And it's a biological fact that Wlad was 39 years of age and past his prime. Joshua and Fury look worse than he did at the same age

    perhaps you mean opinion as opposed to option. prime versus prime I am of the opinion that Wladimir would beat any heavyweight today...with the possible exception of Usyk.

    Prime Vitali would win every round against prime Fury. late stoppage around 10. it would be brutal.

    I think both lose to Fury (probably not today's Fury tbh) and Usyk tbh

    Vitali maybe, he's generally rated way beyond his resume, it'd be interesting to see how that went on the cards - and you could be 99% it'd see the final bell.

    Wlad, nah.
    Astinkout win against an old Wlad (reportedly distracted by personal problems) then avoiding the rematch doesn't point to a win prime for prime.
