    And?

    You weren't there when Sanders was a beanpole amateur. You weren't there when Sanders was an up and coming pro. I was. Sanders only became relevant to you guys when he beat Wlad. He didn't exist for you before then.
    And then you want to tell me about Corrie Sanders.

    Sanders could barely box he was so badly out of condition. When his tank blew out after the second round, he had nothing left to give apart of wild swings from out of range.

    get it right, sanders couldn't land a title shot when prime, though he got close.

    as a shot old retiree he magically got one ffrom wald who was looking for an easy kill inside 3 rounds.

    and the easy kill wiped out prime wlad in seconds.

    If wlad hadn't almost illegally picked a failed retuiree for a shot at the world title you wouldn't even have noticed him. but because he did hes some atg killer.

    You still haven't cottoned on that wladdie was basically shytting on the heads of fans like yourself by giving you this old horribly unconditioned retiree as a world title challenger, and you are still over a decade later enjoying the smell of his shyte on your head. WHY? U SHOULD BE APPALLED BY HIS FAKERY ON U!


    Only on the occasion wladdie shat on his own head too, big time. but instead of kliturd logically seeing a retired failed fattie wiping out a prime wlad in seconds, they reverse it to -

    " ATG killer beats green wlad after wlad has early success"

    Where he was really unlucky, was in getting injured after the Williams fight.

    He effectively had the division at his mercy.

    Once or twice. Do you have anything worth responding to, to add?

    Okay, so you have no frame of reference. You didn't go to the fight, nor do you attend boxing matches.

    Based on accomplishments there's zero argument for Vitali being in the top 10.
    He just never fought the type of competition to merit this level of ranking. H2h he might very well be in the top ten, but it's hard to say, because again, it boils down the level of competition he beat. Anyone who's elite can look good against non elite athletics but step up the competition and the story might be completely different.

    I can buy that. He was also somewhat unlikely to have a brother who was also a titleholder. Absent Wlad, Vitali certainly would have made a bigger splash.

    why u reversing the truth, without wlad he would barely have a reign.

    He relied on his brother to step in more than once.

    I have been following the situation in Ukraine, and I do know what you mean.

    You typed:

    It's very obvious what you mean. :D
