Who would win, prime Tyson Fury or prime Vitali Klitschko?

I only know McGrain and Unforgiven and i believe they voted for Fury.

Anyway Vitali avoid tall guys for a reason.. Fury is all wrong for him. Its pretty clear if you understand the sport

 

Get your facts straight. Wlad was 39 and would have retired his run without a loss had he fought B and C levellers like his brother

 

I suppose youre not going to tell me that Wlad avoided a rematch against Sanders who was 8 years past prime?

 

Not so sure old Wlad can beat Sanders. The big South African would be in his head.

And he might beat the Peter he edged in 2005, but I wouldn't bet much on it. He certainly wouldn't take him apart the way his brother did.

And if Fury was facing the Vitaly of either the Peter or Lewis fights, I think Fury would have been in for a rougher night.

Old Wlad was a lot more tentative and cautious, to the point of being frozen for much of his bout with Fury.

Vitaly, while less skillful than little brother, was more aggressive and mentally tougher. He would be coming forward a lot more than Wlad was.


Vitaly - Fury would be a great fight.

If I had to bet, I'd go with the Ukranian.

But I would be more than very happy if the big gypsy proved me wrong.

What do you mean this? Wlad was neither 41 nor did he give Fury all he could handle.. Wilder and John McDermot troubled Fury more than Klitschko

He would be coming forward a lot more than his brother?? Whats this theory based on? Exactly what is Vitali going to do when he gets close to Fury since he can't box on the inside?? The man has zero inside game and he knows it
Vitali has only one range and thats from the outside. He has to have space to get his punches off. He won't come forward on Fury because his only style was to box from range.

 

Fury was more difficult for him and much of that was psychological.
I expected Wlad to beat Fury, and judging by their meetings outside the ring leading up to the fight, I'm pretty sure Wlad expected to beat Fury.

That changed when the fight started.

For some reason, the dude froze when faced with the real life Fury across the ring.

I kept waiting for Wlad to start.
Two round in...three rounds in... then four, and I'm wondering, what's he playing at, he's leaving this a bit late.

And he never really did get going till almost the end. And then it was too little, too late.

Something about Fury got into his head when they finally met.

I don't think that would have happened to Vitaly, who was much less fragile mentally than Wlad, and less worried about taking whatever Fury might throw.

I didn't say that Vitaly beat better fighters than Wlad. This is the big knock on Vitaly...his resume is a bit weak on names.

Wlad's is too, but it is better than Vitaly's and he did beat better fighters, albeit not as many.

But who fought the better fighters was not my point.. I was making a case for Vitaly against Fury.

I don't think you can extrapolate a Fury victory over Vitaly from the fight with the younger brother.
