    Vitali would beat every fighter in history. The better question is who can be competitive to him, only guy that has been was Lewis who put up a pretty good fight

    No doubt he could. He's a boxing machine and with his size he'd be a tough match for anyone.

    Of course. Vitali is Ivan Drago that became reality, only bigger.

    H2h there are only a hand full of heavies I favour over the guy, I dont think he would ever be an easy win.

    Competitive yes, but he looses to a handfull IMO. Lewis, Louis, Ali, and Holmes for sure. Possibly others. But they would all have their hands full.

    Prime Tyson would do what most of his opponents don't do. Take the fight to him and stay in his chest. Ripping crazy body shots to his tall frame!

    I'd say so. Vitali would be hell for most fighters.

    I think to beat vitali you need one of 2 things, either speed/skills ali/tyson or be a big strong guy with a good jab holmes,lewis,wlad all have a chance of beating him prime h2h.
    I favour him clearly over most other greats at heavy.
