Prime Vitali Klitschko vs Tyson Fury

[Earl-Hickey]

Fury on points by 3-4 rounds.

Fury is bigger, more mobile, longer and has generally more nuance to his boxing. Vitali isn't a one punch ko guy, he needs volume and he wouldn't get volume on Fury, it'd be a jab here and a jab there.

Vitali is very tough and would give a good account though but Fury is just that bit better than him.

[Marchegiano]

This has been asked many times and I always tend to lean towards Fury on points. Fury is a very bad stylistic matchup for the Klitschko’s as they are unable to utilise their height, reach and furthermore establish their jab.

Vitali would do better than Wlad would/did because he was far more confident in his chin and was prepared to take more risks but I still think he loses a competitive decision to the bigger and faster Fury.

Just to clarify.

You don't think Vitali was ahead prior to being stopped?

[LoadedWraps]

you dont even believe that...lol..If anyone gets stopped it wont be Vitali

Fury bullies that man, Vitali might take a knee like Cotto. Fury would be bouncing his head off the corner like Floyd did to Hatton. Would let Vitali hit him flush like Mayorga did to Trinidad. Fury would whip him and teach him a lesson, then after the stoppage walk up to his corner, slap him and find Larry Merchant and slap him too, even if he wasn't in attendance. Vitali would get cans and bottles thrown at him as he exited because Fury does no wrong and everything he touches turns to gold and the crowd would be roaring and NSB would shut down for 48 hours lmao.

WAR Fury!!!!

Fury beat his younger brother a couple of years ago. Vitali stopped all of the contenders in his era. And he gave Lennox Lewis a tough fight.

Wlad was 39 years old when he lost to Fury so he was many years past prime. I think both brothers KO Fury prime against prime an Vitali does it easier. Vitali had an iron jaw and was never knocked down, I think he would have KOed Lewis had he not been cut.

fury is more agile then Vitali and has more levels in his game..Vital was tough and mean but Fury is more skilled...

I like this. I think Vitali can give anyone real problems of course. He can really start putting it on an opponent without having to load up on his punches. But over say a trilogy of fights I see Fury adapting the most. Vitali would just lean back as his defence, not so easy against Fury. Plus Fury is better in the clinch, though Vitali has a good uppercut. I expect blood and a great fight. Course Fury beat Wlad which gives Vitali sum sort of bonus modifier. One day A.I. and holograms will get so good... but the would it even matter...

Vitali right now > Fury

Nah you just don't understand the level fury boxes at.

Wlad wasnt 100% peak but he was destroyed psychologically by fury, as he would have been at his peak.

The klitschkos are one dimensional

Fury is multidimensional AND better at the klitschko style than they themselves were.

Fury is Vitali, Wlad and lennox blended into one fighter and blown up to 6'9" 280lbs

I'm a Gypsy King fan but he's given too many accolades because of his last fight. Otherwise his career doesn't really say much. Few heavyweights from any era could beat Vitali. Certainly not Fury.

[ironmike2012]

Fury close points win or Vitali by KO, those would be my predictions.
Fury couldn't stop Vitali, no way.

Wlad barely lost a round in 10 years of fights before Fury beat him. He was like unbeatable after those 3 losses.
