    Dino might have the least credibility on the board. As I've said before, the stuff he says is so bad, posters with no dog in the race call him out for being ludicrous.

    I don't recall any talks about him fighting Lewis at all. Lewis was mainly tied up with negotiations of facing the winner of Vitali vs Johnson and when Klit won, Lewis opted to retire rather than to rematch him.. Roy Jones was the main guy that Sander's people were talking to about fighting and that fell through as well.. All the while corrie was focussing more on his golf career than boxing and when he entered the ring against Vitali in April of 2004, it showed clearly that he hadn't been living the lifestyle of a professional fighter over the previous 13 months.

    I'll hand it to him, though, he sets forth his garbage with conviction. It's some of the most decisively stated garbage on the boards.

    Lewis was retired then dummy and was acting as Corrie's promoter.
    The best version of Sanders was the one that existed in the mid 1990's and even that version had a very limited gas tank.
    The version who fought Vitali was flabby , over weight and was blowing out his ass after just 3 rounds.

    I can't agree that Sanders was in better shape for Vitali than he was against Wlad. In fact that other dude may be the first person I've heard in the past 12 years make this claim.

    Whoopdee do. He gassed against Rahman, so what? He'd done practically no roadwork before that one:

    "Now it will be an uphill struggle for Sanders, who is expected to be admitted to hospital this week for operations on both knees. Berman said Sanders had been unable to do proper roadwork because of cartilage problems with his knees."

    Evidently you missed where Sanders went 12 with Purrity, whitewashed him, and was dancing around just fine in the 12th:

    Oh, wait, you do know this, because I've mentioned it several times to you in the past.

    I repeat to you what DINODELUDED claimed:

    "

    That
    version of Sanders could go 12 easy. Dino's either thick or deliberately facetious.

    Purrity: Fights 54. Wins 31. Losses 20.

    Log off, you pillock.

    PS: He beat Gonzalez, one of Bowe's greatest wins. Shows he was on the level I guess.

    Purrity was chronically jet lagged and could barely throw a punch. He also worked for Sanders..
    Purrity isn't a better win than Rahmam.
    Ranman beat Purrity when he was 12-0

    Holyfield fought who is who in boxing.When you compare that with Vitali's resume...arrghhh

    Vitali's best accomplishment came against an older/overweight Lewis.Yet he was stopped.
    Holyfield argualy beat an in top shape/younger Lewis.Holyfield was not 28 like Vitali.enough said.

    Holyfield ranks a level above Vitali.

    Link or STFU

    They sparred as preparation for the Klitschko fight AFTER Sanders beat him for the WBU title.

    Who the f*ck are "Ranman" and "Rahmam"? Are you high?

    Holy did fight everybody. For that he has much respect.

    Debatable whether it was his best fight.

    No.

    Legacy wise, that could be argued. H2H, not a chance in hell.

    You really think Vits would have lost to Ruiz or Moorer? Like hell.
