    Vlad was 40 when fury beat him, how good do you think fury will be at 40?

    I mean Wilder killed Arreola did he not? And Arreola also has losses to Stiverne. Solis was embarrassed by Thompson.... Briggs had embarrassing losses before Vitali. I know boxing triangle math doesn't work but Peter was killed by Helenius who was in turn killed by Wilder.

    I'm pretty sure Chisora would've beat all them guys and I'm not even kidding, there's a reason why Chisora is considered by many to be Vitali's best win. **** I would favour Wallin over most of them guys not even kidding

    boxers age differently. Some get better the older the get... i.e. Bernard Hopkins. Most get worse. Fury won't fight when he gets to 39 at but if he did, he'd be much worse that's for sure. He's put to much wear and tear on his body. Ballooning up and down in weight not living an athletes lifestyle.

    Wlad was well past it yet Fury gets a lot of credit for that fight.

    In complete honesty, I'm not even sure Wilder would've beaten Chisora... Heavy hands, decent chin and come forward style would've been a problem for him.

    wasn't called a knockdown much like Mayweather- Mosely so officially Vitali has never been down.

    Vitali fought a better version of Arreola. Peter fought a better version of Helenius than Wilder, although Helenius glass chin probably always fails him even against Wilder. And don't forget Sanders KO'd a 20 something Klitschko, not the 40 year old who Fury beat.

    We can poke holes all day long, I think at the end of the day both guys have thin resumes I just think Vitali's is better even if marginally.

    I mean the Wilder that fought Parker sure... But
    Again, Vitali's resume cannot be better if his best win is arguably Chisora... Fury has wins that are better than Chisora including Wlad, and Whyte, who beat him twice. That's all I'm saying. But we'll be arguing back and fourth and get nowhere. Let's just agree to disagree

    Just watch the last 30 seconds of the first round. It was a legit knockdown. Referee didnt see it.

    I'm yet to be convinced that Wilder's significantly declined.

    Parker was levels more proven than anyone Wilder's ever beaten, and fought with a style that cramped Wilder up and stopped him from planting his feet to swing full strength.

    Whyte had stated for years that's how he thought you had to fight Wilder to beat him - maybe that's why Wilder (or perhaps his handlers) wanted no part of Whyte.

    Completely seriously... I think Chisora stylistically would've caused problems for any version of Wilder - and quite possibly enough to have beaten him.

    Vitali by UD. Wouldn’t be surprised if Fury hits the deck at some point eating one of those awkward Vitali Hookercuts in an exchange.

    Those right hands that dropped Wilder, would just **** Vitali off.

    Wlad fought back and threw punches, sat on the couch for 18 months and got up and nearly beat Joshua. There’s no comparison between Wlads state and Wilders

    a torn rotator cuff injury...if you continue punching...or lifting etc...can end up being a career ending injury. To stop a fight rather than risk such an event is no shame. why do ref's stop fights just short of a ko sometimes? same thing really. another one of those things we will never know. Vitali would stomp a mud hole in Fury and walk it dry.
