    Fury is a weird guy, he should not be able to do the things he does (you'd expect him to be a lumbering oaf),
    and yet he's pretty much the most mobile HW out there. He's gonna be really hard to beat. I say this as someone that used to completely blast him and became a believer LOL

    I don't think he was in danger of being stopped by Whyte. He got buzzed, but that was it. He also pretty much dominated the rest of the fight. Whereas he was absolutely in danger of being stopped against Wlad and didn't dominate the rest of the fight. SO there is absolutely a difference there so far as I'm concerned

    no, he wasnt life and death, he competed with Wlad well, and Wlad did the same until he couldnt keep the pace. The victory was set in stone from the word go, Wlad wasnt fit enough to keep up with AJ for 12 rounds.

    He just slipped up once when Wlad pounced in, but come end of fight wlad was leaking punches. That when it was life n death, fr wladdie.

    He was in danger of being stopped, had Wlad emptied his tank then instead of being risk averse like usual then he'd have probably put him away. I've no idea how arbitrarily you use them term 'life and death' but I would say for most the AJ-Wlad fight is a perfect example of it. AJ was blowing big time, hurt and spent a damn near long time just moping around the ropes. How you can't call that life and death is beyond me

    you mean if wlad had a better chin.

    wlad did move in but was swinging at air. He tried to take him out, but couldnt land. And then the moment passed.

    Outside of Lewis he never faced another SHW. I would actually bet on Pulev over Vitali.

    Vitali Klitschko has no special feats to be rated that highly. Great politician maybe! But what are some of his standout abilities that separate him from the rest? Very little!

    You mean except the fear factor, mental toughness, ring generalship, chin, size, quick feet, punch output, and when prime massive KO Power?

    Who is Vitali Klitschko's best wins ? Sanders ? Samuel Peter ? The best fighter he fought was Lewis and lost. His resume isn't anything that special IMO.
    That's not to take away he was an elite fighter, but he's by no means this unbeatable monster that people on here make him out to be. Fury would UD him. Joshua is basically who lands first and it's fairly certain he beats Wilder.

    Against whom though? A bunch of puddings and low level boxers? How are any of these standout abilities? I could name many who surpass him in those areas. His brother being one of them.

    Look good but fought nobodies or past-prime people. Impossible to tell.

    Right, because Pulev has a great record against superheavyweights
