I think Vitali is a harder fight for Fury than Wladimir in some ways.
Although more limited than his brother he was made much tougher. And had less doubt in his mind.
I think Fury stays on his toes in this one and makes Vitali follow him around the ring.
Fury would handle Vitali confidently. Vitali was majorly dependant on his range, jabs and one-twos. Fury is better in fighting on the distance, cause he's faster and more elusive. And inside he is just much more better, than Vitali.

Because nobody knows how it would end. Prime Vitali would have been difficult for anyone, so I don’t see how you’re so confident Fury would easily beat him.
Comparing era’s is folly. Prime Wlad, Prime Lewis, Prime Tyson, Prime Holyfield, Prime Vitali would be difficult for any HW of this crop.

Because Vitali barely lost 5 rounds in his entire career.
3 of them to chisora. Granted chisora almost stopped fury but overall Tyson was more impressive there.
Yeah that fight stunk but if i remember correctly he injured his right shoulder and just jabbed his way to a UD? I think Vitali on a better day would've toasted Chisora like he did Briggs or Adamek.
Saying that "Vitali barely lost 5 rounds in his entire career." were you kidding?!
No
I know he dominated the cans he fought, but Lewis won 2 or three; Chis won 2 or three; Herbie Hyde one the first round before getting blown out. Byrd? I admit he lost very low % of the rounds he fought, but 5 sounds a bit off.

Sanders probably took a round of him, the del boy cards were 119 & 118. I think all judges had him 4-2 vs Lennox. I get people don't like his resume but it was a weak era & like i said, he hardly lost more than a handful of rounds.

Even if I'm right, you weren't far off. I assumed he must've lost a lot more, but maybe not.

Everyone was saying similar stuff before Fury-Wlad and even Fury-Wilder.
Vitali was an inconvenient oppopnent for many, but he was quite limited in comparison to Fury. The Gypsy King is a unique boxer. He got two his biggest scalps in a one-sided fashion.
