    ^This. The left Sanders landed on him was flush, when Vitali was steaming into him, and the uppercut Lewis landed was one of the hardest single shots I've seen. Vits took them both like a champ. If only he'd been floored we could compare his recovery powers to Fury's but, that's never happened.

    For a moment there I thought you had typed out that out yourself but you let some journalist speak for you.
    Answer me this, did it look like Johnson moved his legs against Vitali to you?

    1) They both fought the same guy, Vitaly beat him near 40 and fresher version of the same guy, hurt I might add. What Fury going to be like at that age?

    2) It shows that Vitaly was never behind on any of his fight in any card in his career. Fury was at times because he wasn't as good of a boxer. Let's see how he does fighting more ranked contenders stage 36+, I bet not as good.

    It if fact Fury beat very few ranked men, and it is fact Vitaly beat many more.

    Those are just the facts. You can't argue with them.

    Cunningham was a former cruiser and not a puncher yet he knocked Fury down. He was also past his prime. Were is the defense and punch resistance with Fury? Where? It happened before vs some no name and Fury was down 4x vs Wilder in their series.

    Vitaly who fought many legit punches and based on ratings better men was never floored. He also fought more often.

    So what? Fury was clowning around in that fight. Calzaghe has an iron beard regardless of weak hitting Hopkins putting him on the deck.


    Vitali went over by some bum called Troy Roberts but still has a good chin.. Furys chin is just titanium.

    Thats impossible since Fury has beaten the Champion and the #2 of his division. Vitali's highest ranking win is over #2 Sam Peter who was washed up at the time.
    He also has two losses , one of them a quit job against a 208 pounder who took the fight on a weeks notice

    Very bizzare comment to make. Having a reach advantage would be very beneficial against a guy who can only box from range , you would dispute that?

    Do you believe what you type.? Our are you just pulling legs? No, Fury does not have a titanium level chin. Vitaly is the one who can say does.

    Well...Combat sport is combat sport, and Vitali was floored once:

    His recover powres is most probably not as good as Furys. He was down and out here.

    Yes because Wilder drove his right hand right through the target in that 4th round. It was a nuclear bomb that detonated off Furys head and he really should not have gotten up. .

    Like I said Wilder punched right through the target at full force and Furys head absorbed everything. . Vitali has never been hit like that. I know what im watching , i don't think you do.. You sound like a Klitschko fanboy to me

    David Haye who isn't a fan of Fury saw exactly what I saw. Timestamped

    I don't know. Perhaps if the OP's question had asked how they'd get on H2H, when they were both near 40, it would be relevant.

    In any event, you seem to rate Vitali's win over Chisora as superior to that of Fury's and, if that is the case, then I would suggest you need a wider perspective.

    Fury was a 14-0 pro novice when he met Chisora (the first time). Vitali selected Chisora as a World Title defense, when Chisora was 15-2 and had lost two of his last three.


    By this logic^, any boxer in history, who has failed to achieve the same alleged feat of never being behind in any of their fights, is not as good a boxer as Vitali - which is more than just a little laughable.


    This^, again, has no bearing on how they would fair, H2H.


    Fury's career is still in progress. He's the Lineal Heavyweight Champion and 3-0-1, against Champions and/or opponents ranked in the Top-3.

    Vitali beat 7 ranked men in 47 fights and lost his bid for the Lineal World Championship. He's actually 2-1-0 against Champions and/or Top-3 rated opponents.

    But, again, these facts have little bearing on a H2H.


    Facts need to be relevant and are, in any event, subject to context and interpretation.


    I just did.
