Prime Vitali vs Fury/Wilder/Joshua?

[TheLeprechaun]

Vitali who ran Lewis close.

For my money he was alway the better brother and he beats all three.

Thoughts?

[danconnollyeire]

I think the only one who could beat him is Fury and not because Fury is better than Vitali was, just that his awkward movement/faints would make him hard to tag. Vitali had a ridiculous chin. Neither AJ or Wilder would outbox him

But wilder hits harder than pele reid kicks so i dont know if wilder,if he caught vitali,could k.o him. Joshua would struggle i think

No

Think 40 pro fighters would disagree

I'd imagine Wilder would maybe have the odd moment, by the fight would follow the pattern of the Corrie Saunders fight, with Vitali winning in the later rounds. Joshua would end up in a similar war of attrition that could probably go either way on the cards. I'd think Fury would have the best chance of getting a clear win, not engaging in a war and using his skills to win rounds and take a decision.

I think he ices Wilder & Joshua but loses to points vs Fury

They would be wrong too then.

Vitali lost to the two best guys he faced and doesn't have a single great win. One of the most overrated heavies ever, the sight of him going after the nimble Fury with his two left feet would have been an amusing one.

aj would likely stop him. I think he would probably decision wilder. He didn't hit hard enough to bother any of them.

I’m not sure to be honest. I’m tempted to vote that Vitali beats them all, but I can envisage Fury and Joshua beating him.

As for Wilder hits harder than Pele Reid kicks...never! A kick is so much harder than a punch, generally speaking. I suspect even Wilder can kick harder than he punches, and that’s without any real training.

Ok wilder probably hits harder than the kick that knocked vitali out lol

What if he kicks him?

[Ricky]

Vitali was a class above all 3 of these bums.

so what r ur picks bruh

[DrDuke]

The Gypsy King would have outboxed him, but Vitali would have outfought Joshua with a probable late KO and the same with Wilder, but even with a bigger edge.

Both AJ and Wilder would need to take the risks that would create opportunities for Vitali. Vitali was one tough mutha!

Yeah, Vitali would have frustrated those two with his jackhammering jabs and one-twos. If AJ and Wilder would have traded too much, they would have been stopped after some of those punches. Only Fury would have been crafty enough to avoid tiresome left-rights of Vitali and would have scored more.

[gilgamesh]

I think Joshua would stop him, I think he'd stop Wilder, and the jury's still out on how I think he'd do against Fury. My gut says he'd be tentative, and outboxed by Fury, but I'm not sure.

[Gnome]

Vitali beats all three.

[Ricky]

I'd pick Sanders to KO all 3 nevermind Vitali.

Vitali who ran Lewis close.

For my money he was alway the better brother and he beats all three.

Thoughts?

He was certainly the more durable brother. Wlad had the skill and one-punch power, while Vitali had the chin; durability; and fearlessness. It's too bad we didn't see Vitali in another era. His was weak and didn't provide him any real names to build his rep on. Certainly not his fault, but it robs us of really good comps.
