Prime Vitaly Klitschko vs Tyson Fury

Vitali could crack. And Fury's been down quite a few times.

 

@dinovelvet

You’re right, Hide and Byrd were both plodders. Vitali could never drop Fury, who got dropped by an MMA fighter with no boxing experience and a feather fisted cruiserweight.

Briggs got countered to death in his fight with Vitali right?

I think your nuthugging of Fury is clouding your judgement. Fury’s glass chin isn’t lasting 12 against Vitali.

 

Vitali could be worn down, hence Byrd made him quit in 9 and we don't know how he'd have been in the 2nd half vs Lewis.

The thing about Fury in hypotheticals is that his Wilder 2 performance was totally out of the blue. No one could really prepare for that, giving 2020 Fury a significant advantage over anyone I can think of right out the gate. So it's actually quite likely that the taller, longer, more powerful and 25 lbs heavier Fury would stop the mentally and tactically unprepared and significantly overrated Vitali.

 

Vitali had the higher KO ratio because of his relatively abysmal competition (best win either 2.5 round fighter Sanders or Chisora) and he lost vs Byrd and Lewis. He is massively overrated relative to those who came after him and he'd have almost no chance against a good version of Fury.

 

Hahaha

Quits against Byrd but beats Fury and Usyk. Tell me another one old man.

 

Vitali was a lighter puncher than Fury, probably significantly compared to 2020 Fury. Kevin Johnson had no clear reason to lie in this case and said that (2012) Fury (who disrespected Kevin massively in the buildup) hit harder than Vitali and would take over from the Klitschkos. Vitali needed 22+ minutes to stop anyone Danny Williams level or above and that wasn't because low IQ Vitali wasn't trying to stop everyone.

 

Vitali has significantly less power than Fury based on 1. Kevin Johnson's testimony 2. Fury having much more impressive stoppage wins 3. being a far bigger man with superior athleticism (2020 Fury was 273 lbs and in excellent condition).

 

Vitali was injured against both Lewis and Byrd, and he was winning both of those fights. It's different from getting dropped by a feather-fisted cruiserweight, a limited slugger, or a debutant MMA boxer. In fact, was Vitali ever down on the cards? And he was also never off his feet.

Maybe Fury jabs his face off for 12 rounds or maybe his weak punch resistance fails him against the best fighter he would have faced in his career. Also, let's see how Fury does against Usyk. If Usyk stops him and it isn't an injury, that is a way worse loss than losing to Byrd, who Vitali was beating.

 

really think Fury would be doing very well....much better than some might think.....until the bell rang to begin the first round. then Vitali would beat the brakes off him.

 

Fury on cuts. Easy fight for him. Just look at Wlads face after their "fight" Vitali would be cut even easier.

 

When was prime fury? When he squeaked past old man vlad in the most boring fight of all time? Or when he went life or death with wilder three times who Parker shut out easy?

 

Klitschko Fury was prime for me..

Parker fought an inactive, aged Wilder so not sure what your point is?

shall we start judging heavyweights when they’re passed it? You think the Mike Tyson that knocked out Spinx would have lost to Danny Williams?

 

BS excuses. Vitali lost twice (and quit vs Byrd, invented/exaggerated an injury), Fury's never lost despite being far less disciplined and fighting much better competition. Keep coping fool.

Usyk would toy with that dumb thuggish pseudo-Ukrainian so even if he beats Fury it's irrelevant.

 

1. The fight was more exciting than most of Wlad's title fights

2. Fury's schooling of top 3 reigning all time champ Wlad was historically unprecedented in terms of 12 round defensive dominance, so much so that cretins like you can't get their heads around it

3. Mike Tyson sucked because he lost to Danny Williams, let's forget that Wilder admitted that Fury broke him

 

Wlad wasn't really a fighter though for a lot of his career, he was a hugger/grappler. Fury at least beat him with recognisable boxing (and very wide), Wlad could never get close enough for it to become a fight.
