The last Vitali who was pushed to the limit by Chisora. The same Chisora that didnt win a round against Fury?
I think it's 50-50, and I can definitely envision a scenario where Fury earns a workmanlike decision. I'm imagining he'd use an approach similar to what he used with Wlad, and that Vitali would absolutely be able to keep things more competitive, on the basis that he's far less reluctant to throw than his brother when a clear target doesn't emerge. Vitali and Lewis both were catching each other with shots that they'd usually be able to avoid, because the size was throwing them a little loop. Fury can exploit things like that, and I believe Fury can conceivably frustrate Vitali, whom I suspect is prone to get angrier than Wlad did if Fury starts making funny faces. I also believe that Fury could take advantage of moments where Vitali gets his second wind. Ordinarily, his size and measured pace allow him to slow things down when he needs a breather, but Fury can conceivably capitalize on these moments if he keeps his own reserves ready for opportune moments when this happens. I'm not even saying I think Fury WOULD win. But I definitely think he COULD win.
Prime Vitali v Prime Fury would have been a good fight. The thing with Fury is and what I dont think most people seem to understand is hes obviously unbeaten but you rarely get to see him get out of first gear. He has won every fight easily. Shame he has let him self get so fat I hope he can get back to him old self
The only argument people have for Vitali winning is based on an assumption that he's turn pressure fighter and walk Fury down. The problem with this theory is Vitali wouldn't know what to do once he entered Fury's wheelhouse. He is too stiff and rigid to get shots off in close. He didn't throw , let alone land a meaningful punch against Lewis on the inside. He has to have a gap between himself and his opponent at all times to get his shots off. That's the only way he can box and its why he was so good at controlling the range against short stumpy opponents. Angles beat straight lines all day long. Fury has more dimensions than Vitali on the outside and on the inside. Its highly likely that the accumulative effect of Tyson's shots damage Vitali's face . Chisora who isn't prone to cuts or swelling took the worst facial damage of his career. https://i2-prod.irishmirror.ie/incoming/article4722104.ece/ALTERNATES/s1227b/JS51938118.jpg
I guess you believe Bellew is a better heavyweight as current Haye too after their fight, bringing up Vitali vs Chisora?
Are you asking me if Bellew is a better heavyweight than current Haye? Absoloutely he is. Haye can bare move his limbs any more without breaking someting.
Despite the length, this post sums it up. Wlad started to realise this at the 12th but by then it was too late. Vitali will work out soon enough that Fury has no power and can't hurt him, and he's not going to fall for his feints and shuck n jive. He will walk him down and force the exchanges. I see a mid-to-late stoppage when Fury's had enough.
Typical load of fanciful Dino garbage. You could find a better post in a bucket of vomit outside any ghetto nightclub. I love how he invents versions of fighters to tear down. He's obviously got shares in a factory churning out strawmen.
So you're comparing the performance of a 40 year old, 1 armed Klitschko against a young Chisora ... to a 26 year old Fury against an end-of-the-road Chisora? In other news, I hear Holmes absolutely schooled Ali, proving he is the best HW ever. /s
Chisora was not young when Klitchko faced him and he was only 2 years older when he faced Fury who schooled him for the second time. He schooled him many years earlier when Chisora was in his prime but quite overweight
IB, you should have been in Wlad's corner that night. Everything you wrote is absolutely correct and right on the money. And it's crazy that Wlad didn't want to mix it up with the slapping Fury but DID mix it up with a much stronger and dangerous Joshua.
