    No. OP may be a journeyman in his home though.

    Norton beat Ali, and gave him fights in two other fights. He gave Holmes fits only losing in a split decision.

    I never said Vitali could not beat him, but saying he is 10x the fighter ignorant or biased. I don't know you well enough as a poster to tell which.

    Ali and Holmes would dismantle Vitali. Foreman would stop him and Frazier would make him quit. That era is a whole different ball game of fighter.

    Oki I admit I exaggerated and I cant say it when comparing resumes of course.
    Its just annoying how people act like he would have been some journeyman in the 70's while looking trough their tinted glasses.
    Im a fan of vitali and believe he would lose to holmes and the 60 version of ali but post fotc I think he could take him.
    I feel he would bounce norton around like he did kirk johnson, I know some strongly disagree with that but its just my opinion on the subject.

    He'd probably win a title at some point. The guy is a H2H monster.

    Vitali has fought two good fighters and lost both times.

    In the 70ties they actually cut off the dick of boys with small dicks and let them grow up as women. IT's true... it was called "optimum gender of rearing".

    So the real questons is:

    Would Konman600 have been a girl in the 70s?

    Holmes vs VK would be another version of Holmes vs Cooney, only worse for VK than it was for Cooney, as VK is much stiffer and more robotic than Cooney and cuts more easily.

    The real question in all of this is: Could VK beat Jerry Quarry?

    No, he wouldn't be. I don't think he's a better fighter than the likes of Quarry, Chuvalo or Norton though.

    Ridiculous thread.

    Reeks of racial and nationalistic bias.

    You're forgetting that Vitali beat a fat Sam Peter, therefore he is a H2H monster and ATG.
