    yeh but he never folded like a lawn chair when faced with adversity, he never took banned anabolic steroids and he had one of the finest chins the sports ever seen.

    Wow thread fail as Vitali had a torn ACL - (knee injury)
    and had years of full contact kickboxing before boxing ...

    Did you loose money on that fight or something?

    Jones faced adversity long before he was kod at age 35. He also was never suspended for roids, and his so called glass jaw was exposed well after his prime.

    Plus, the Barrera fight wasn't Naz's first moment of adversity. He did get up off his backside twice against Kevin Kelley. He got outmatched and outfought by Barrera but I wouldn't say he folded completely either.

    Did Hagler "stare defeat in the face"? Did he "come roaring back and pull something out of the bag"? :?

    Morrison's loss to Mercer wasn't him folding under adversity, it was just a guy with shaky stamina/chin getting knocked into La-La land.

    Before that anyway, he was getting his ass kicked by Yuri Vaulin but rallied to win.

    Look, you can be a Vitali nuthugger all you want, but one thing I hope you can't do is deny what you see with your own eyes.

    Vitali bashed everyone inside 3 rounds until he came up against Byrd. Byrd dodged most of his punches, landed at an acceptional 45% rate himself, walked him down and then made him quit. There is no voodoo or black magic here. That actually happend. Live. Recorded. On camera.

    Deny it all you want but the first time Vitali faced adversity he quit on his stool. That's not hating, that's a fact.
