Tyson Fury vs Vitali Klitschko ?

And?

"Tyson Fury, plays down Wilder's power in self-promotion shocker!"

 

Yes, Sanders was actually OLDER than Lewis was against Vitali and was in far worse shape comparing to Lennox. Yet, he gave Vitali a hell for the first 3 rounds and hurt him more than anyone else did at the pros

 

Fury would be a stylictic nightmare for Vitali. Vitali always looked great against brawlers (Peter, Briggs, Arreola), but against slick boxers he never looked impressive. Not only against Chris Byrd, but against Larry Donald, Vaughn Bean and Kevin Johnson also. He stopped Donald and Bean, but only when they got tired, he didn't look good in either of those fights.

Vitali looked great against Arreola in Septermber 2009 battering him into the submission, but just 3 months later he couldn't land anything on Kevin Johnson, who was just a slick defensive fighter without any offense.

Fury is much better (and MUCH bigger as well) comparing to Johnson, Bean or Donald, and he is also good at the offensive end.

If Fury tried to fight Vitali the way he fought Wilder Vitali could beat him of course, but I think Fury would just box him like he did against Wlad and make him miss.

 

So? Is that any different than Luis Ortiz playing up his punching power so it looks less embarrassing that he got one punched by a guy he was beating?

 

Like I have previously alluded to, I'm no fan of Wilder but, on paper, he has beaten and stopped rated opposition in Stiverne, Ortiz x2 and Breazeale. He held the Lineal Champion, Tyson Fury, to a Draw, before finally being beaten by said Lineal Champion.

I'm not going to try and predict the future. It seems quite pointless, given that Wilder is looking to immediately rematch his conqueror. Can Wilder really come back successfully with that strategy?

Right now, it seems unlikely. But, either way, I stand by my original point and I don't think your comparisons with Morrison and Cooney are realistic.


Many people have, for some time now, criticized Wilder for him being a one-trick pony, myself included. Personally, I don't think he can actually fight, when it comes down to an even playing field. But, to me, this only adds testament to the strength of that one trick he carries in his back pocket, at all times - the delivery of a game-changing powershot.

All famed boxers have their detractors, whether their name is Dempsey, Louis, Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Klitschko, etc. And, some of these detractors will go to extremes. Wilder will be no different, in this regard. However, his singular ability to drop big men to the canvas is enough to elevate Wilder above a lot of the contenders, who were around circa 2004 - 2012.


PS: I never claimed that you had said Wilder could not punch.

 

Then please tell me which opponent Vitali has beaten who had as many heavyweight title defenses as Wilder? This whole point related to an argument that Vitali did not beat anybody like Wilder who would be the best name in Vitali''s record. It seems like you are having trouble to follow at this point.

Also, I must say that you and the Arabish guy's posts are mostly nonsense.The truth is Vital's record is not great. You are not objective in failing to recognize this.You may argue that Fury's is neither but his wins over Wlad and Wilder are better than anythiing on Vitali's record.Also, take into consideration that Fury's career is not finished, he will likely add a couple of other big wins (like Joshua) and that will definitely elevate him above Vitali.

 

Beating Wilder was a good win but Wilder is basically a less skilled Michael Grant, same height with a big punch but just waiting to be knocked out.

 

Vitali would get roughed up.

Lennox man handled him and Byrd laughed at him
