I did see the fight and yes Chisora was grossly out of shape (but who's fault is that). What i was trying to say was Chisora was undefeated at the time. After Fury fought him he had numerous losses
I'll agree that Fury is a hungry fighter, by the looks of him he's eating everything in sight... Vitali KO's this clown...
Dude I know you're a long time poster. Check the threads on this forum before the fight, after the weights were published and pictures of fat Chisora made the rounds. Everyone was shocked and thought Fury was going to send him down in 3-4 rounds. The result was typical for Fury. He consistently underperforms. He just scrapes by, just does enough to win, never enough to impress. That's good enough for British domestic level scraps, but not enough at the elite level. You don't just 'scrape by' and win against a 40 year old Vitali. You've got to be better than him, much better. Fury in his entire career has never shown us he's better than even an aging, unmotivated, slow, semi-injured Vitali.
Sure, this is boxing after all. But lets be honest, anyone (outside the UK) with half a brain would favor Vitali vs. Fury quite decisively. I'd think a 40 year old slow Vitali is still a comfortable 70:30 favorite. Prime Vitali is 95:5 favorite.
You've missed to add less skilled, uncoordinated, unbalanced and so on. They are not in the same league. Fury's height would maybe give an old Vitali some difficulties, but Fury would get schooled. Vitali UD 11-1/10-2 He is better than Leapai and Charr, and Chisora as well, but that isn't saying much. There's a whole list of boxers that would beat Fury (Imo). Some people were calling David Haye a fraud, then what does that make Tyson Fury? He's ranked in the top 5 based on Chisora, Johnson and Cunningham. Other than that, he's a loud mouthed clown. I doubt he could defeat Pianeta, let alone Pulev, Povetkin, Haye etc.
I do miss him to an extent yes, I wish Wlad was the one that retired and instead we'd see Vitali dishing out punishment rather than giving hugs.
pianeta is ****, fury bets him obviously. but vits gasses halfway despite being ahead, and fury swaMPS HIM LIKE JOE CAL VS HOPKINS.
He was a tough guy, no doubt. But i dont miss him at all. He should have been more like his brother trying to fce everyone insstead of fighting the weakest challenges out there far more times than not.
While Vitali lacks one punch KO power, his punches do sting, stun and hurt opponents. Fury will be the aggressor in this fight and will get pummeled for it. It's one thing to have height and reach and completely another to know how to use it and Vitali proved his entire career that he fights exactly how he's supposed to. Fury on the other hand, is tall but mostly fights short. I would honestly and openly say that prime Arreola, who isn't even Vitali's greatest victory, is a far better fighter than Fury. Vitali would destroy Fury, it won't even be competitive for a single round. Regarding the Danny Williams and Chisora fights. Both fighters were nothing but walk forward headfirst heavy bags. Vitali dealt with them the way his style and ability allows him to. Remember what Foreman did to Frazier(Rest in Peace) and Norton(Rest in Peace)?, what about how Ali did against Norton(Rest in Peace) and Frazier(Rest in Peace)?. Styles make fights.
I understand and accept your opinion, but i shall keep mine. And now, i shall go and bash Amir Khan :thumbsup
