    Vitali has dominated many good, top 10-15 heavyweights.

    Maybe around 30'sh. At virtually no point in his career was he unarguably the best heavyweight fighting, and he's not fighting in a deep era of heavyweights. So if I can't even say he was the best in the era he fought, how can I say he was the best throughout the eras.

    Couple that with pathetic opposition, a loss to an average Chris Byrd and getting stopped by the only great fighter he fought, it's hard to place him in the top 25.
