    Would you tune in to see vitali attempt to once again avenge little bros loss? And make history should he win?

    I don’t think vitali would beat fury in his prime, but ya know, he has his fans

    I genuinely think it would sell big PPV.

    If Vitklit still wants to fight, he should fight other old guys that he missed out on: Rahman, Maskaev, Tua, etc.

    He has had problems with the legs as long as I can remember, and would have no chance whatsoever of beating big, mobile Fury.

    But I would love to see some old-guy fights.

    Forget about Vitali - he was only ever an alphabet champ. Vitali can fight Wilder for alphabet legacy.

    Fury needs to bring Lennox Lewis out of retirement - the only man alive who can extinguish his claim to the lineal championship.

    It would be a circus but if Lennox came out to challenge Tyson it would make a ton of money.

    I think warren would faint

    Lewis thinks he could still be competitive in today's scene but ran away in 2003. Doesn't add up does it.

    Lewis is 54 years old and threw his last punch in anger 17 years ago. What difference would it make at this point?

    Fury is establishing a new lineage. Saying he needs to beat Lewis would be the same as saying that he needs to beat Gene Tunney.

    Lewis can't even speak complete and intelligible sentences during fights; no way he gets in the ring again.

    Eternal champion can invoke a clause to fight the champion at any time!

    He does speak strange now, like his IQ is lower than it was.
