    I actually think Fury could beat Vitali, but I don't rate Vitali as highly as most.

    Lewis would be my first (and most obvious) choice, Louis, Ali, Tyson, and Bowe would all be near the top.

    He certainly loses to Lewis and Bowe imo.

    Apart from a 39 years old Witherspoon and a 2 days off of 42 Holyfield, who did Donald ever beat?
    Kevin Johnson beat a 39 years old Bruce Seldon and who else?

    He barely edged an ancient Wald. I think Vitali way too good.

    I really enjoy Fury and find him courageous but overrated.

    Like you said, at the moment, Fury's resume isn't very deep. His best win is over a 39-year-old too. See how I use your own words? How can you disagree now?

    Whatever you think of Vitali's resume, he probably beat 8 more fighters ranked in the top ten in comparison to Fury.

    Donald was similar to Fury as he was a guy who used his legs. Donald probably had better speed and chin too. Fury was taller. Neither were punchers.

    My point that Vitali easily beat Kevin Johnson and Larry Donald ( two fast moving types ) stand and Johnson ( Ranked in the top ten when the fight happened ) was at his best when it happened. Fury's fight spoiling bag of tricks would fall through the ring apron, as VItlai would pressure him and give him no quarter. Vitali isn't his brother, who unfortunately according to a source is coming back.

    I've already stated Fury's resume is not deep.

    "Who has Fury beaten? How many ranked fighters? "
    Note the date!

    Two fighters having shallow resumes similar to another does not alter the fact that they have shallow resumes!
    Get someone to explain the logistics of this to you!lol

    Vitlai isn't his brother,and he isn't VITALI either!LOL

    I'm a little shocked at how much credit Fury received by beating a 39-year-old Wlad. In retrospect, the stars aligned, as Fury was in his top mental and physical shape, and Wlad took too long to figure out this was the one man he can't outbox from a long range and needed to pressure 10 rounds too late.

    It was a style and age thing, and Wlad clearly wasn't as motivated as he was vs. say, Joshua. You could also say it was perhaps Fury's best night. Yet Fury who was busted for PED's has beaten nobody since. Yeah, Fury should have beaten Wilder who can't box. Welcome to modern boxing where networks overpay their stars to fight mediocre competition, and bad decisions tarnish the few marquee matchups we have.

    If you have not heard of Fury's positive test results, the UK has kept it quiet but it's out there on the web. You wonder how long he was on something.

    Good, we agree, quit while you're behind.

    I quoted your own words by design. Sometimes you aren't even aware of what you are saying, I just enjoy using your own words to expose your bias. I don't want to spend any more time on you today.

    It was a terribly dull, safety first, extremely low punch output bout where an aging fighter could not pull the trigger. Fury has no power. The few times he landed flush he couldn’t even hurt Wlad. No one who cant punch is beating a prime Wlad.

    Fury's drug problem has been well documented in the UK press . Most objective observers would say Fury beat Wilder.

    When did a prime Wlad come into the question? Regardless of how entertaining it was, Fury pitched a near shut out. Stay on topic next time
