    How is it ridiculous? All that was different was Rooney wasn't in his corner. Physically he was peak.

    Well for a start Bruno was better than anything Vitali knocked out.

    You know Bruno, the guy who was thoroughly beating a young, prime, Lewis by a wide margin before being stopped? as opposed to going life and death with an old Lewis before being stopped?

    Why not? Did he really lose all his confidence after Douglas?

    Go and watch his career from 86 onwards to 91 and then comment.

    So your are claiming that the 25 y/o Mike that fought Ruddock twice before jail was somehow a faded version? :rofl

    Trust me, I did. The only difference was that people noticed he wasn't an invincible monster. Tyson was pretty much the same.

    No, you need to watch his career and then comment.

    If you cant see the difference, stick to a different thread.

    Shoulda woulda coulda.

    Last time i checked, Tyson knocked out both Holmes and Spinks.
    Vitali on the other hand, lost to Lewis and Byrd.

    Are you serious? :lol:

    In this instance you are claiming Mike vs Ruddock I and II in 91 was a past it Mike? I say no, that Mike was identical to earlier career Mike and he did not show there despite two full camps.

    Vitalis resume is **** poor and you know it.

    His whole claim to fame is the Lewis fight, which he lost.

    Well Bruno holds that accolade too.
