Fantasy Boxing Matchup: Tyson Fury vs Vitali Klitschko

The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.

Vitalis workrate and reach would bother fury.

IDK about that, but Vitali isn't Wlad and he knows that his chin is more reliable. So I would except him to attack early in the fight, if he didn't than he'd probably get out boxed from a distance. I see a close fight with Fury eeking out a close decision win. If Vitali had the same fight ending power as his brother I'd pick Vitali by stoppage.

Vitali really got a lot of props for losing to Lennox. However, he was better that Wilder in terms of fundamentals without the power.

This is a close fight if both are at their best, in my opinion, because Vitali would have applied some pressure and had some success with his jab.

I think Fury with his bounce, but I wouldn't say that it is at all by a wide margin.

I’d take Fury barring him gassing out. I think Vitali would have a lot of problems with somebody even longer and taller than him who could also move really well. I think a younger Wlad would have gotten to Fury and beat him, but while Vitali had some advantages over his brother and was a much more natural fighter mentally, he was also significantly less athletic and slower of both hand and foot, and while he had heavy, clubbing power and a great work rate, he didn’t have the kind of fight changing concussive power I think he’d need to win the fight with how little contact he’d likely be making % wise.

To beat fury you need to punch. Vitali has the chin and workrate. Fury pulls straight back a lot and that would be the death of him

I dont think Vitali can be hurt by Fury... So all the feints and movement might not have THAT much effect on Vitali. Hard one to predict imo...

One thing is if Vitali ain't prepared to go for the kill and starts trading jab, not sure he would win. Otherwise i think Vitali can get passed the front foot of Fury and put him in trouble.

As of this moment. I'd give Vitali the slightest edge imaginable, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Fury win a decision.

If Fury is able to show the elite level he showed against Wilder a few more times against THAT kinda opponent, then yeah he's better than Vitali for sure.
