    What kind of crack are you smoking Jack, prime Vitali was NOT a arm puncher.

    How about a list of fighters who "schooled" Vitali?

    Style-wise this fight favours Vitali and you don't need to be a Klithugger to see that. Holy lost to superheavies like Bowe and Lewis and H2H Vitali is not too far off these two.
    Holy wouldn't knock him out and presumably wouldn't decision him either bearing in mind Vitali holds the record for the most punches thrown in a HW fight - granted, he achieved that against passive Johnson but the mere fact that he managed to throw such a ridiculous amount of punches even at the age of 38 should convince you he wouldn't stop throwing against Holyfield either despite Holy probably being a tad more skilled.

    While one can argue that Vitali never fought a boxer like Holyfield whereas Holyfield was in the ring with two superheavies it must be said that Holy lost 4 out of 5 fights against them (I'm not counting the Valuev robbery but Lewis 1 was a loss in my book). So the outcome obviously remains a mystery (it's a phantasy match up after all) but trolls like you love to be ignorant as ****.

    holy is also a real born fighter. great warrior.

    but holy is not lewis. holy is small, so vitali would keep him on distance, as he always does against small fighters. never vitali fights against holy, like he did against lewis. at least not with a longer preperation.

    Vitali is overrated
    Holyfield schools him

    Bowe made the stupid mistake to crouch his back, go into a low stance and tarde blows with Holyfield toe-to-toe. Basically giving away his entire reach and height advantage, ditching his jab and relying on beating Holyfield on the inside. Bowe allowed Holyfield to level the playing field.

    Vitali wouldn't. Vitali would control range, jab from the outside and land 3 punches for every 2 Holyfield lands. Holyfield's only realistic chance is hoping to injury Vitali, possibly on the inside.

    You're a terrible poster so I only read one line.

    Can you name one fighter close to being as skilled as prime Holyfield? Nobody is even close so there's no point in saying "he's not been schooled" because it doesn't rule out Hokyfield schooling him, as Holyfield is by far better than anyone Vitali has been in the ring with.

    You should have went through my post then. And I don't see how you dare call me a terrible poster as opposed to your consistent Klit-trolling. Your "east bloc fighters" thread might as well be one of the worst in ESB history.

    I've never seen your opinion tilt in favour of those who easily expose and disprove your racist arguments. Instead you keep trolling us to death. You're a prime example of "there's no winnin' with the haters" whereas I leave room for different opinions - that's luckily what sets the both of us apart.

    You're right. No way would he. Just wanted to put that out there since we were discussing toughness, heart, i.e. "born fighter" and the Holy Warrior of the early 90's would eat shots to get in, and did so on many occasions.

    There is a flipside and something that I failed to consider. That is that a younger or 'prime' Vitali punched harder than the current Vitali.
