    Probably true. I've never thought much of Tyson Fury to begin with.

    I think Vitali beat Fury, he would do what Wlad didn't and go after Fury. I think he'd bust Fury up and eventually knock him out around 6-8

    Practically everyone he fought. Vitali had a boxing style but kept a very high workrate unlike his brother. See his fight with Lewis, thats what I picture, him landing on Fury even more and taking less in return.

    Well then you never saw anybody he fought because he used never close anybody down , that wasn't his style. He only knew how to box from range , thats all he ever did.
    It was Lewis who closed him down. Round after round. And because Vitali is so inept up close is the reason a slow , sloppy ageing Lewis tore him apart.
    It seems you can't understand what is happening when you watch box , or when you watch vitali.

    I hope that Perry is in good health and doing well...and that he found a new sport to follow.

    Vitali easily by ko . I never was a Klitschko fan but his work-rate,chin,power,stamina were impressive.

    I'd still pick Klitscko. He's got the workrate and is plenty awkward enough himself to win on points. It might be a somewhat slow, herky-jerky bout though.

    Vitali would be befuddled and outboxed to the point where he would look like an extremely uncoordinated and basic level boxer.
    Vitali's slow shovel punches would never reach Furys chin and he would be countered to pieces trying.

    Fury boxes rings around Vitali in a complete mismatch.

    I'd pick Fury at his best.

    I've never been that impressed with Vitali.

    Fury by decision would be a good chance.

    Fury beat Wlad on his best night when Wlad was 39, and deserved the nod over Wilder but there are reasons as to why.


    Wlad has had his own tempo for years, and had to switch up to become the aggressor and he did it too late that night. He was also past his best at age 39. Wilder is simply a poor boxer by the standards of a top ten fighter, who make no mistake about had his legs stiffened a few times when Fury landed. I felt that Fury won at least 9 rounds vs Wilder.


    Vitali is an engager, very different in approach from his brother, and wouldn’t be bothered by Fury’s power as Wilder was. The best way to beat Fury is to go at him and make him fight.


    If Lewis could not out box Vitali before he achieved his peak form I might add, neither could Fury. I’ll give Fury a lot of credit for getting up, but at the same time I took not that Wilder really only landed three big punches of the fight, and two of them floored Fury. So Fury’s heart is good, his chin is not, and Vitali is going to land at least ten good ones here.


    Prediction: Vitali via 9th round TKO.

    Fury beats him. Too fast, too good movement and his awkwardness offsets Vitali.

    Fury 8-4
