Who is the smallest person who could beat superheavy Vitali

As we all know former LHW Byrd stopped superheavyweight Vits, but who was the smallest one you can see stopping Vitali eg former SMW, MW, LMWs.

For instance LW Sam Langford might well be able to "birdie" Vits.

 

well I dunno. Byrd was from three divisions, lower than Vitali and managed it. Perhaps four divisions down if you include that vitali is a superheavy.

Come to think of it was anyone ever stopped by someone from 4 divisions down, when we are considering the HW title?

I think Vitali may hold the record for going down to the relatively smallest opposition ever.

 

oh wait up, John Ruiz, was he technically a "superheavy"? He got outpointed by Jones Jnr.

Mind you Jones junior was an ATG, not like byrd.

ANd furthermore that was merely a points win, whereas Byrd stopped vitali in the single figure rounds. Vits loss is way more worse.

Vits is below John Ruiz in this regard, then.

 

no, that's wrong,. my research tells me Ruiz was in fact 20 pounds lighter than Vitali, and not a real superheavyweight.

Therefore Vitalis loss was not just merely worse than Ruiz....It was massively worse.

I find this a great shame, since Vitali is my favourite K bro, but the facts are there, he was massively worse compared to one of the worst titlists in HW history.

 

no sorry let me clarify, I mean to actually beat Vital.

 

hmm if vits is so bad in this comparison, worse than Ruiz, much worse, then why are threads for Vitali vs Frazier being made. To mention Vitali alongside an ATG is a joke.
