Who ya got? I feel like if VK isn't totally shot, he'd have an excellent chance. He's not afraid to take a punch to land a punch. And he hits harder than Fury and has a better chin. He's got a better work rate, and he's probably at least within an inch of Fury's height. Fury's stuff worked on Wlad because a. size difference (not as present if at all against VK) b. Wlad slowed down (probably at least as true for Vitali, to be fair) c. Wlad just couldn't get himself to engage and go for broke (I think we can all agree Vitali would) I think it would be the exact opposite of Wlad Fury, it would not be technical. It would be utterly brutal, both fighters taking a ton of punishment until the fight is stopped.
Depends how Vitali has aged in the last 3 years. I give the 2011-2012 version a very good chance at beating Fury though.
If that were the case it would be Vitali coming out on top not Fury. Only wait Fury wins is decision, or Vitali injuring himself.
lets overate adamek, arreola, briggs and charr now.......... Fury just beat Wladmir Klitchko for crying out loud..
Yeah, I'd pick Vitali (understanding that Fury deserves to be the favorite). That said, I could see it going like Lewis Klitschko and Vitali losing on cuts.
5 for Vit, 8 for Fury, that sounds about fair. Anyone think Vitali will actually make the fight despite his many year layoff and political career?
