LewisXVitali > Fury

Vitali wouldn't have any respect for Fury's fluffy punches, he'd walk the gypo down and stop him Vitali could box and also fight Yeah he was a brawler if it came to that. I remember the fight vs Sanders.. that was a heck of a brawl. I don't think Fury would have hurt him. Vitali was a far more resourceful and cunning fighter than Wlad and could adapt his style during the fight. He'd give Fury a hiding.

I disagree completely. I think stylistically Vitali would be quite easy work for Tyson Fury, in the same way that I think Luis Ortiz would also. Lewis vs Fury would be a great fight, but honestly I'd edge toward a fully fit Fury. Wilder is a tough one for anybody, even though Fury beat him well, he had to get up off the floor twice. He's easy to outbox, but he's so athletic, and also, for me, his biggest danger is that he's at his most dangerous when he is hurt. If you go try and finish Wilder off, you've got massive swings coming back at you. Let's not make it seem like Lewis was unbeatable, he lost twice by KO. He did great to win the rematches, but he was also absolutely garbage in a big fight against Mercer, was lucky with the score, and was getting well beaten by Frank Bruno on points before the knockout, and was losing to Vitali.

I agree that both Lewis and Vitali were much better than Fury and Wilder. While past prime Lewis beat prime Vitali fairly he won because he cut Vitali bad enough that the fight was stopped. Had the Vitali not been cut I am sure he would have knocked Lewis out. Vitali had a much better chin than Lewis and was never knocked down in any fight while Lewis was knocked out cold twice.

Imagine if dudes were going around saying Mosley and Oscar over Floyd oh that’s right Floyd had the chance to MOP them. Neither of those bums would last today and I’m tired of all the nostalgia posters on here, all these same idiots were not appreciating the eras they hyping when they were actually happening now they mad they’re old and want to hold on to nostalgia :lol1:

Damn man, Ive never put that together. There are a lot of similarities between the two. I've thought about in the past during Froch's fights, but I think that's the first time I've articulated it, but it's true isn't it?

I don't think Vitali had more skill then Fury, not in a million years. He was stronger, hit harder, and had a better chin. He was sneaky accurate too. He was basically a heavyweight version of Froch or vice versa seeing as Vitali came first, they both had just about enough skill to make everything work. Damn man, Ive never put that together.

Seeing Posters getting ahead of themselves. Claiming Fury is the GOAT. Wilder lacks Skill but possesses power. Fury lacks Power but possesses skill. However Your rating Fury bassed on wilders boxing skill. Ali skill is far superior. Lewis skill was far superior. Vitali Skill far superior. All these guys have skill + Power. Vitali prime was the last Among the true Greats and even then it wasn’t enough to beat Out of prime Lewis. I don't think Vitali had more skill then Fury, not in a million years.

Doesn't matter... Fury>Wilder

I think Fury could have been the one to beat both Ks.

What's Vitali's best win? He made a name off troubling an out of shape Lewis for a bit and then getting his face caved in and stopped. Let's be real. Vitali's resume is piss poor. not saying he wasn't good, but he gets a bit overrated.

That said, I had Fury by 4 points.
