Vitali v Wilder would look a lot like Fury v Wilder 2, except probably worse. Vitali's power was brutal and he was relentless in putting the pressure on guys. He was also deceptively tricky to catch clean, and even when he was his chin was like wrought iron - nothing Wilder throws short of a perfectly placed hail-mary right hand is going to keep Vitali off of him. Maybe Wilder would have a chance against Klitschko just before he retired when he was old and injury-ridden, but otherwise it's genuinely a terrible matchup for Wilder, he gets mauled.
IMO, prime Vitali beats all current HWs. Fury would be interesting, but I think Vitali’s style (just as akward) and much better chin would be too much for Fury.
I see many similarities. Wilder even tries to copy his style, but Vitali was just bigger man and better fighter. He can`t beat any really good fighter, Vitali also couldn`t. Wilder would beat everybody Vitali beat, But still Vitali would beat Wilder.
Vitali fought a good competition only twice in his life and lost.
How do you outbox someone widely when you aren’t hitting your opponent ?
The reason why the one judge scored the fight for Wlad because he was the champion and pushing the fight not Fury . The fight was far from anyone dominating ,that’s not even a possibility in the way it was fought . Wlad actually won the most clear round with punches thrown with intent and that was the last round .
Edit : Vitali has Wilders corner throwing in the towel again .
hr made him look awful man
Yes, agree it was a poor performance by his own admission. It’s a sport though and people are going to perform better or worse on occasion. Given that was a one-off and he was clearly still fit and ready for the Joshua fight afterwards - i certainly don’t think that one performance should define him.
definitely it takes him getting koed easy by more bums in his prime.
so he outboxed him widely by throwing few punches - you get that makes wlad look even worse, right?

You have a short memory ,did you forget everyone mocking Furys chances of stopping Wilder ?
All those guys you mentioned have better chins then Wilder . There’s no way they let him receive as much punishment as Briggs did who was sent to the hospital for multiple head wounds and a broken or dislocated jaw .I never said stopped. I said knocked out. Meaning the fight is over once Wilder is down, counted out or waved off by the referee as he lies flat on his back; Which has never happened to him before.
Tyson ended the fight while Wilder was yet still on his feet eating punches. Tyson was never able to put him down or out even with tampered gloves.

wlad lost handily.
the claim that fury threw so few, makes lwad look worse whatever.
its a losing argument.
Lets not kid and delude ourselves. Vitali isn't knocking out anyone; Let alone Deontay Wilder who has a very good chin and is very hard to even get off his feet.
In addition, Vitali was not a one punch KO artist anyhow. He had more of a clubbing accumulation type of punching power.
If Chris Byrd, Lennox Lewis, Dereck Chisora and Shannon Briggs could all survive Vitali's punching power then so can Deontay Wilder.
Fury also barely laid a glove on wlad - hence it wasn’t dominant
so he outboxed him widely by throwing few punches - you get that makes wlad look even worse, right?
vitali would have enough to outpoint wilder for sure, narrowly. He'd get knocked down but his ref would give him a free pass for a slip.
wlad - this is one he would avoid, with good reason, hes in high danger of getting wiped out early again.
Get the fuck out of here! :lol1:
Multible sources said so, Wilder never denied it and Wilders manager always said wilder is not ready for Klitschko. So how is this far fetched?
