    They're very dominant champions in their era. No one diputes this.

    Its the fact that theyve not had a chance to test themselves against equal fighters to them.

    I know my lad, just kidding :thumbsup

    That's why there is a * next to Vitali's championship reign. I think this is the number for his reign before and after retirement added together.

    Vitali has a high KO percentage, its a bit of a coincidence that he has by far the worst opposition ever as well.

    but he does have an impressive 100% TKO record.


    against Lennox. itxs a loss, but its nevertheless impressive that he didnt get koed sooner than round 6 the way he was shite defending.
