When was the last time Vitali looked like an A+ heavyweight?

He fell to the floor without a punch landing on him. Just looked like he had a short-circuit in his brain and his legs turned to jelly for a second there.

 

According to you....Kind of like your posts! I am generous, will give your posts a C+ :deal

 

Excellent point :deal

 

Never, because he isn't one.

 

He's never looked A+.

Lewis was his best performance.

 

People say he is lacking due to his opposition. I troll/joke about VK quite a bit, but going through is resume it is very difficult to see where he started winning at world level. People criticise both the brothers opposition, but even in an era where there are not too many standout contenders, there is a clear clear definition between Wladimirs opposition and Vitali's, and Wlads is far better.

Wlad has good wins over

Haye
Byrd x2
Chambers

Though these are men formerly from the lower weights they were all skilled, moreso than anyone on Vitali's list of wins, that's not taking into account Chagaev and Ibragimov (who were ranked higher, unlike quite a few of Vitali's opponents) however I don't really rate either too highly.

Vitali's best win is probably Sanders? Which only stands out above his other wins because Sanders beat pre-steward Wlad

There aren't enough top level or near top level fighters to judge him on.

It is like, what if Floyd Mayweather only ever fought fighters who were the level of Carlos Baldomir? Vitali has consistently fought the lesser / lower ranked challengers available.

Sosonowski, 40 year old briggs, Kevin Johnson...

 

The Sanders that Vitali beat was also in terrible shape, Klittards still claim it as an ATG win but Sanders had greying hair, a beer belly and looked like a 40 a day smoker after the first round

and it's still vitali's best win

 

Vitali does not look like an A+ fighter. He just in one.:good

 

All of the names in Red are blown up cruiserweights.
No one of the yellow names comes close to being a cruiser.

 

Nor do they come close to being any good.

You ****in beat me to it! :fire

 

Except Sosnowski they were pretty good, who prob had one of the best game plans to beat Vitali IMO. The others had very good punching power therefore were much more
dangerous against Wlad than Vitali. BTW Ibragimov drew with Ray Austin. Haye a hype job at HW. Chagaev wasnt even 6 ft and had hep B.

 

****ing Arreola. Funny dude.

And goddamn, but that just ain't a nose made for boxing, man. Maybe it was extra swollen from Vitali beating on it, but damn, that thing must get broken every tough fight.

 

I clearly said I don't rate Chagaev or Ibragimov.

Sosonowski wasn't remotely good at all. He hasn't beaten one half decent fighter. Neither has Arreola, neither has Kevin Johnson, and two of the former were just spanked on prize fighter.

Haye has more punching power than Sosonowski, Arreola, possibly sanders (who was 38 at the time of the fight), he is at least equal in that department.

Chambers & Byrd are more skilled than those 3 aswel, and each 3 could face off head-to-head 10 times and 10 times out of 10, the cruisers would come out on top.

Vitali's best recent win was Solis, and that was through a freak injury due to overwhelming obesity on Solis part.

 

Against Solis, beat him so bad, his knee went........
