Vitali's resume is pure ****. He ducked so many champions and top contenders, he should be ashamed to call himself a "champion". He never fought Chambers, Chagaev, Haye, Holyfield, Rahman, Tua, Mercer, and the list never ends. Better than Marciano? Marciano never ducked any great fighter, and still had a KO average of 88% (better than what Vitali has done fighting bums). Vitali is probably the worst HW champion of all time. His resume is worse than Primo Carnera's or Jack Sharkey's. And you nut-huggers need to stop talking about the Byrd fight as if Vitali had won it. If Vitali were the champ you all say he is, then he would have demanded a rematch, instead of letting his younger brother do the hard work for him.
Chris Byrd isn't the 2nd best fighter he faced. Chris Byrd is the definition of a bum that lost every round against a 1 armed Vitali and was KO'd brutally by Wlad. And yes, show me any evidence that Vitali didn't face the best of his era. Because he did, but no evidence is cited in your post so the need to reply is really needless because I don't expect a response filled with any evidence at all.
Adamek>Chambers Solis>Chagaev Haye is a possible fight The last 4 were never top 10 fighters when Vitali was champion
Not true, for example - Lennox Lewis & Wlad only ever lost from Injury. Cause lets be honest, getting knocked out is an injury - just like having you face smashed in is an injury.
I don't think any supposed great fighter has ever met fewer top 3 Ring ranked contenders than Vitali. It's a truly pathetic ledger.

Adamek at his best is better than Chambers. We can play the same game. Vitali really would have destroyed both Chambers and Chagaev, so what's the point? Vitali has fought the top 5 opposition that has been available in every fight. Chisora, Adamek, and Solis all were the top fights left at the time and Vitali dominated them. Vitali has always faced the best available in his era.
Weren't you banned for racism? That's worst then being banned for trolling. You should have a melt down again and start posting offensive pictures of 'crack whores' so you get another ban.
I does not matter who you like more. Vitali has done a better job. Wlad has been KTFO and knocked down 10 plus times. Vitali overall is the better man. Vitali also stands toe to toe where Wlad jabs and grabs like a coward. We just have to face the facts. Wlad just does not have the chin to be a all time great.
