Given to him by a Soviet doctor to get over an injury aged 18. I saw no hgh gut or roid chin like your man Joshua (for example).
Joshua isn't my man at all. I've been pretty vocal about his disgraceful juicing. And a positive test is a positive test. Just about every fighter ever made a similar excuse when they've been caught.
He was not a pro fighter at the time, or anywhere near it, and it was hardly a cynical attempt to cheat. He's talked openly about the whole thing openly and how it led to a ban from amateur competition.
By the 5th lewis was landing his uppercut at will. If that fight went longer Lewis would've kept working on the cut until Vitali's own team would stop the fight. Bryd figured out Vitali's rhythm and made Vitali miss all night before Vitali quit to avoid getting stopped. So these two wins aren't paper wins.
He lost fairly after having his face mangled by a fat past prime unmotivated Lennox Lewis, he quit against Chris Byrd because of a shoulder injury maybe he needed some tips from Danny Williams on that as to how a real warrior behaves when hurt like that. Vitali was undoubtedly a good boxer but he was never ATG class he had his chance to put Lewis out to pasture and be crowned the new king of the HW division and he didn't have the tools to finish the job. He then spent the rest of his career fighting a string of sub par competition Lit of fighters post Lewis Manuel Charr Dereck Chisora Tomasz Adamek Shannon Briggs Kevin Johnson Chris Arreola Samuel Peter Danny Williams Corrie Sanders Kirk Johnson Prior to the Lewis fight he lost against the best HW he fought in Chris Byrd, this is not even close to ATG material and truth be told taking into account time away from the ring, hiss losses to the only truly A class boxers he fought and the overall lack of depth in his resume I think HOF would be generous for such and underwhelming career.
BS. Demonstrated by the fact Lewis was 4-2 behind on all three cards. And he was 7-2 ahead on all cards vs Byrd, so again BS. The injury he sustained there was what contributed to his retirement in 04. But Vitali was not a guy to complain, he just retired with full dignity as champion emeritus and came back when it was healed up enough to compete. Came back after 4 years out and regained his belt, which he held for 4 years. :deal
What has the last round got to do with the score cards ?? On the Money you are as far from your user name as a man can be, Froch was 3 rounds down against Taylor before getting the KO with seconds left in the 12th .... does this not count because he was behind on the cards ??? Vitali has been caught taking PEDs He quit in his stool against a blown up cruiserweight And was not man enough to take out a lazy old shot Lewis when he hisself was in his prime. He was good but he was not all that ... I would put Bruno ahead of him H2H thats the kind of level maximum he could ever achieve. His resume is awful and lost against the 2 class fighters he faced TKO6 deal with it
On The Money is that the best comeback you have ? I deal in the facts of the matter and the truth is this ... Resume - Average Best Win - Sanders ??? LOL PED Cheat - Yes Long Periods of inactivity - Yes Lost to only good heavyweight he ever fought - Yes If you can dispute any of my statements please do but don't resort to name calling it shows you up for the pathetic person you really are.
