    You haven't explained anything you idiot! Donald and Johnson beat NOBODY it's that simple!
    Donald had won just 1 of his last 3 fights,and that over 4th rater Larry Stanton17-5-0.Donald was unranked by
    The Ring.
    Johnson has spent his entire career as an"opponent," he too was unranked by The Ring.Two gimmee fights for the Ukrainian.

    Ezzard Charles pitched a better game vs an older Joe Louis. Are you counting that one too? Louis' face was a mess after that one.

    The official scores of Wlad vs Fury were:

    Judge: Cesar Ramos 112-115
    Judge: Ramon Cerdan 111-116
    Judge: Raul Caiz Sr 112-115

    Hardly a near shut out. A shut out is 120-108.

    Dolt, my point is Fury has beaten a 39-year-old like Donald and who else? Duh.

    Wrong again, as I told you Kevin Johnson was in Ring Magazine's top ten when he fought Vitali. He was also undefeated at that point in time. Why are you so stubborn and wrong all of the time?

    Unless you can prove your point that Johnson wasn't ranked in the top ten when he fought Vitali, just turn your PC off and find something better to do.

    I know what a shut out is. That was in Germany, where everything is incredibly biased. Please tell me the rounds Klitschko won to get 111. I don't think Fury would beat Vitali, let alone Charles

    I think the judges were close to the mark. I don't have a round by round card. It was a boring fight. Some of the rounds were close. Fury landed 86 punches to Wlad's 52. 108 is just 3 rounds won to 111. I think Wlad won at least three rounds.

    I think Fury would probably beat Charles.

    Fury is all wrong for Vitali stylistically.

    Vitali gets outboxed and doesn't have the speed or power to pull out a stoppage victory. Fury would see every punch coming from Vitali a mile away.
    Analyze the styles and you will see Fury holds the advantages if they were to fight.
    Speed , defense.
    Long reach > short reach
    Angles > straight lines
    Slick > stiff
    Multi dimension > one dimension

    Also , Fury slashing punches would skin Vitali alive.

    What? Vitali won all the rounds against Johnson but he loooked bad doing so. He was easily out jabbed by Johnson who was laying against the ropes all fight long. Kingpin wasn't fast moving , he was statue-like.
    Donald? He was shot to bits and had no legs after 3 rounds. . Watch the fights.

    I would pick Fury by a close points win over Vitali. It would be a quite even matchup.I just think Fury is a little more skilled and is quicker with his hands.Both are quite awkard.

    I do not regard Vitali as a head to head monster, certainly not

    Fury is a negative fight spoiler event stink out fighter who is afraid to sit down on his punches because of the danger getting countered hard.

    The moment he even slightly opened up he got put on his azz hard and almost out. IMO, the draw was fair because throwing 5.785 punches a round while sticking your tongue out and raising your arms plus getting knocked down is not enough to de throne a champ. Without the knock downs I do not have a problem with Fury declared the winner in a absolute snoozer of a fight.

    However, Fury is a naturally gifted, while feather fisted for a heavy, slick mover with pretty good feints , good footwork/speed and great upper body movement.

    VK is a one two puncher who pulls straight back relying on his reflexes to get out of danger while keeping his hands by his waist.......we all saw when he stepped up against ol Lemmie that that recipe did not work against the upper level and got his face shredded in the progress....Lewis very sloppy simply stepped in and fired away......VK is and was not used to a guy using height and reach to get to him.

    While Fury is not going to jump on him he will absolute befuddle VK with movement while moving away not allowing VK to set.....he will be constantly in reload mode without firing a shot.......VK does not have the one shot power or the speed of Wilder so the chance of landing the fight ending shot is nil for VK.

    VK is not a out of the gate destroyer, he wants his opponents come to him, clobber them with so so shots , retreat, rinse and repeat but Fury will never be the aggressor so that moves VK in the uncomfortable position of being the aggressor which will be negated by Fury's awkward negative fight antics.

    Absolute boring fight with a Fury UD.

    By Byrds own admission -
    He took the fight on 8 days notice
    Stepped on the scales in his clothing
    Claimed to weigh under 208 pounds.

    He never seen Vitali fight before because there was no footage available on him.

    Byrd had already fought on HBO so Vitali had seen footage on him. Thats why Vitali and his team made the offer to Byrd.

    Byrd turned up completely blind , underprepared , without any gameplan , yet still whooped Vitali's ass.

    See that^^ Thats a fully healthy uninjured Vitali getting clowned by a Middle weight . That right there is why he quit and that is why he ducked and ran from the rematch.

    Fury would box like Vitali and it would look very similar to Hopking vs Kelly Pavlik !

    That really illustrates why Vitali was knackered after 9 rounds. He was taking body shots like there was no tomorrow. And taking them clean while he was throwing. Very troubling footage right there for the K-Stans.. lol !

    Vitali's toughest fight was an overweight 38 year old Lennox Lewis up busted Vitali's face up. I don't rate Fury nowhere near Lennox Lewis so a fight between Fury and Vitali would be close,,,,,and brutally boring.

    I have Vitali beating Fury.

    All the advantages Fury has in height , weight and strength would be nullified. He only has a little more speed and movement to keep VK off him.

    It will not help him because at some point VK is going to tire him out and get him to trade. VK is much busier, and has incredible stamina. Fury is also unable to KO Vitali as VK has a titanium jaw.

    I just do not see Fury pulling this out, he is not an Ali. Byrd moved well and could be just as frustrating, and VK was nailing him unitl his shoulder started freezing up. Minus his bum shoulder he would have likely Koed Byrd in 10 rounds. Fury is not even as good a mover as Byrd, and is far easier to hit. VK also would punish Fury inside if he tries to hold and lean. I think VK is stronger, busier, has a better chin - he may not take Fury out by KO, but he wins a competitive decision.

    VK by UD
