Fury: Age - 24 Height - 6'9 Reach -85 Vitali Age - 41 Height - 6'7 1/2 Reach - 79 Simple question: Who wins? Less simple question: How does Fury have such an exceptional reach advantage over Vitali and is it useful?? Trivia question: Has Vitali EVER fought someone taller than him??
Timo Hoffman was the same hight as Vitali, says Boxrec, not sure if anyone was taller. And i think Vitali wins, he is even now far superior to Fury in every aspect except age.
I'd actually pick Fury, Vitali has slowed down a bit now and he's getting on a bit. I reckon Tyson could be a bit busy for him right now, and he has the size to prevent being bullied around the ring. SD or UD Fury
I'd pick Fury to match or better everything Vitali does and the FIFTEEN year age difference (he could conceivably be Fury's Dad) will tell :yep
people keep saying vitali's slowed down, but he comes into every fight in top shape he hardly struggled in his last fight against charr and he STILL has that plodding, thumping power fury would be knocked back to last friday if they fought
I'd say the only way for Vitali to win that fight, now, is to k.o. him. Not really easy. But, yes, Fury's weird reach intrigues me.... expecially considering his shoulders are not as broad as Vitali's ones, hence his arms are even longer... and that is evident in every photo of him. If i'm not mistaken, Fury has around the same reach as Valuev...
Different caliber fighters.. Vitalis experience, far superior general IQ and especially his footwork would take it..
Vitali would stop him late on in the match is the best i make of this. Possibly after various Kds leading up to the stoppage.
