    Ortiz might give him some problems but 2003/2004 Vitali would still beat all of them.
    That being said Lennox Lewis of 2003, Corrie Sanders and maybe even Tua of 2003 would Ko them all too
    I can also see HW Roy jones beat a few of them

    Don't exaggerate, please. Imagine Tua vs. Joshua...or RJJ (he was great, but he was natural LHW or CW, at best).

    Prime Vitali beats all of them imo.

    1. AJ is too green, and he is not at Vitali's level yet. He may get there, but he most certainly isn't there yet.
    2. Vitali's will to win would prevail eventually against Ortiz, remember that Vitali smashed Samuel Peter who fights a bit like Ortiz to be honest.
    3. No version of Haye beats Vitali at HW, Vitali is just too strong.
    4. Wilder only has a puncher's chance too. He has legit power but Vitali has better skills and a better chin.
    I think 2003 Lennox beats them all too, Tua has a good chance against any of them, but much as I think RJJ was incredible he isn't going to beat any unless it's Haye.

    Tua had an Iron Chin and probaly one of the hardest left hook of the last 20 years. I can definitely seem him catching Haye or Joshua on the Chin.
    Tua knocked out Moorer in 30 seconds, Ruiz in 19 seconds, Robert Daniel in 3 rounds

    Prime HW Jones has the skills to outbox them. The question is if they can catch him with something big

    3 on 1 isn't really fair dude. Those odds seem insurmountable, I can't see anyway Vitali wins

    Agree on all points beside Nr. 2 . Ortiz is way better than prime Samuel Peter in every department

    I actually agree with that. That's why I only said Vitali would prevail eventually. He smashed Peter, but Ortiz is better and would probably put up more of a fight.

    However, as Ortiz is getting old, and there aren't many people I'd pick H2H against a prime Vitali, I still pick Vitali there.

    Beats them all. Him vs a more refined, developed Joshua would be 50/50.

    lol . Prime Vitali lost to the only two decent fighters he ever faced.

    He beats Haye. Ortiz would bust him up like Lewis done. Wilder is 50/50. Probably edge it to Vitali.

    I can't really see any of these guys presenting a problem to an on-song Vitali.

    The only two that might do something would be Joshua in the future (if he lives up to his promise) and maybe - I say maybe because Vitali would beat any version I've seen of him like a tambourine - Wilder. *IF* Wilder got a decent coach to develop a great jab and movement, he'd have the dimesnions to trouble most heavyweights.

    Then again ... that glass chin.

    No, sorry, he could never beat Vitali.

    Absolutely!

    Tua was a 1 trick pony, but if you got kicked by that pony you either went out or you went insane.
    Haye, Joshua and the likes of Parker wouldn't have a **** show at keeping him at bay.

    The people that gave Tua problems were long reach fighters who had the skill to keep him at distance and take away his hook.

    Todays heavies aren't talented enough to stop that. Fury and Wladimir would be the best bet, but both have trouble if he was to catch them!

    Prime Vitali busts up and stops them all within 8 rounds. He might actually knock Wilder the f**k out early.
