    Watching Vitali hammer Danny Williams just now.
    Got me wondering how the big dosser would do against a Klitschko that's near enough prime?

    The fight would be awkward as fcuck. Vitali's work rate may trouble Fury, but the sheer size of Tyson would be a problem for older Klitschko. I can't get Timo Hoffmann fight out of my head. 50/50 here.

    Vitali didn't have much a problem with Timo but Timo had a chin so it went the distance.

    I may be in the minority, but I think your fight would have ended the same way it did with Wlad.
    Herky-jerky Fury would have won on points somehow; maybe even SD.
    In a boring fight that many would rate a "draw" with lots of clinchers, Fury would have had nuance on his side.

    It'd be utterly boring, but I think Britali is more willing to wade into Fury's weirdness and land shots where Wlad would still be trying to understand what's in front of him. A close, ugly decision either way but my chips are on Britali.

    Awkward and nasty imo.
    Fury would have probably pissed off Vit eventually.
