    I like Vitali in this .. you are right about the wlad part . .I was agreeing with the vitali pick ... I think his jab is better , he will take what Fury dishes out .. and Vitali is much much better at measuring the distance than Wilder is .. He is a noticeably better boxer

    He's also a lot slower , doesn't hit as hard , telegraphs his punches and is very predictable. . It would look like Hopkins vs Felix Sturm , although Felix is technically better than Vitali.

    ?? Who could he have fought that was 6'7" or more. He was on for Valuev, but he backed out of the match. Not his fault, Lewis was 6'5' tall so was Hoffman. And Donald was 6'4 as was Sanders and Briggs Early on Raiba was 6"5' TALL. Plenty of tall guys just no one over 6'7" tall. Who should he have fought that so talll? Nobody. He didn't avoid tall fighters. The only one taller avoided him.

    Fury UD. He is the more complete fighter. Better defense, better infighter, better technique.

    Prime Fury is better than an old poorly trained Lewis. And Vitali lost that one

    I notice you're new to these parts.
    You need to do a search on Dino's posts using the word Klitschko.

    This will give you some insight into his general attitude towards the two big Ukranians.

    It might also save you some time and effort in attempting to engage rationally with the man.

    How do I do that and why would I want to do that? The best move is to reason and avoid conflict.

    You would use the search button at the top right of your screen.

    Keyword: Klitschko
    Posted by member :dinovelvet

    Go back a year or two or three.

    If you still want to reason...fill your boots !

    Choice is yours

    Conflict does not feature here...just get a sense of what you're dealing with.

    Take your little temper tantrum elsewhere or learn how to cope when somebody destroys your argument. I talk box here nothing else. Learn how to debate or stfu

    Fury would win on cuts, first of all V Klitschko never had to fight anyone taller, he always had the privilege of sticking his arms out when smaller fighters would throw and then they couldn't get near him, of course this wouldn't work against Fury, Fury is much faster and better at landing the jab, he keeps his hand moving and keeps you guessing, he will put himself low and come up with the jab, he can bring his left hand high and throw the jab, he can time their jab with his own jab, he just spots the right moment to throw it and that is how he outboxed Wilder, and it is plain to the eye that he would outjab V Klitschko too, people on here have definitely got this idea 'Oh Wilder put him down imagine what Vitali would do' Wilder is much faster and more explosive than V Klitschko and just when you think you're out of range, all of a sudden you've been hit by that right and you are hurt, Vitali is much slower and Fury would see that right coming all day, Fury would pepper him with jabs and the odd right every now and then and slice him up and either beat him on points or stop him on cuts

    I only see one of us with temper issues here dino.

    This is your second tantrum in a week.

    It's fairly well known that you have a vitriolic hatred for the Klitschkos.
    You're like Redrooster with SRL and HerolGee with Calzaghe...etc.

    You have shown yourself to be incapable or unwilling to engage in rational discussion on the subject of the K brothers.

    On other topics, you can be quite reasonable, and make some decent posts. But nobody who has followed your schtick for any length of time accords you any measure of credibility when it comes to the Klitschkos.

    It's just the way it is.

    I understand that this Wlad vs. Fury fight was very low action & far from great.
