More amazing work. You really need to tell us how much one of these would fetch for.

[Fighting Pride]

Excellent work man. That's what you call talent.

[SA Boxing fan]

Talented artistic boxing fan. Now that's new. Great job!

[Boxed Ears]

Great job, ex. Now, I think the Tyson one is perfect:

However, A few things about the Vitali one-great job though. It's just, I feel the jawline could come down a little, the lines in the forehead more pronounced, the brow a little thicker, and also these days, if you're going more current, he's graying, tends to be stubbly and I think his eyes might be blue.

I'm thinking, more like this, just as an example, not a replacement, something to work off of:

Notice, I lowered that jawline, added some subtle dark gray stubble, hair and brow more light gray (it's all about nuance, I feel), thicker brow, blue eyes (shade may be wrong), and deepened the forehead lines. I took facial portrait science at Caxap U, back in 1945 though, so, I'm perhaps, no offense, working on some more "technical" knowledge than most artists.

BE, you can not compare your artistic work with another artist, we've gone through this. Everyone has their own style with their own way.

You don't understand what art classes were like at Caxap U, in '45, Pyotr. You drew anything a millimeter off, you'd be stripped naked and forced to share a tiger cage with classmates in 7 degree Celsius weather. Then vodka enema to sterilize whatever had perhaps happened to keep warm, if you were the non-alpha classmate in cage, or the tiger had been there, in the right season for him.

I know, I know. But that's in the past. Remember, you've got counseling for that. Don't relapse on all the hard work you've done. Please BE... for your friends and family.

Never seen that smiley before. Yes, of course it wasn't your fault.
