    I meant out percentaged him, knew there was a stat he won clearly but couldn't remember it.

    Still, 124 is a lot of punches. Why wouldn't you think Jersey could land just 1?

    At the end pf the day, who has Vitali beaten?

    He lost to a fat past prime LL.He lost to Feather fisted Byrd.
    He did beat Peter who was shot by then. His best victory was probably against Sanders. Unimpressive

    Walcott knows how to fight.He has the better pedigree.

    So far off the mark it isn't even funny.

    So you think Vitali won 6 rounds, do you think he'd have won any of the last 3?

    Yes, round seven. What does the LUF stand for, if you don't mind me asking?

    Sounds about right to me. weather it was 6 rounds to 3 or 6-2-1 or even 5-4, the point is there's no way Byrd was beating Klitschko. He got lucky by virtue of Vitali suffering a torn rotator cuff early in the fight and had to essentially fight handicapped the whole evening. Sure you can make an argument about Vitali showing lack of heart in quitting but regardless it had nothing to do with anything Byrd did to him..

    What's wrong with admitting a mistake and asking the same question you didn't answer?

    You're quite strange, makes me wonder if you have an agenda rather than an interest in actual debate.

    It doesn't.

    It's an amalgamation

    Once again, you are judging Vitali with an injury. How fair of you. And he was in the lead vs a prime Chris Byrd...easily in the lead.

    Now Luf, if you want to talk stats, Vitali Klitschko has the best rounds won to rounds lost ratio in the HISTORY of championship gloved boxing. Show me any better! Vitali lost no more than three rounds on any card and was always in the lead after four rounds boxed. Always. Sure, he can't box a lick! NOT.

    If you want to talk punch stats, VK's way up there in activity on average.

    Magoo's right. You've painted yourself into a corner and might as well start painting the corner with all these false statements, which you are attempting to revise.

    You got it the other way around.. Vitali was 37 years old and coming back after a four retirement. Peter was 28 and had recently captured a title. Vitali demolished him in one sided fashion.

    Who mentioned quitting?

    Plus if it's 5-4 bad Byrd wins the last 3 then he wins on points.

    What corner? I said Byrd outlanded him, I was wrong. It was the connect percentage Byrd did better at, I remembered it incorrectly.

    That isn't backed into a corner.

    I think Magoo is debating fairly and making points, while at the same time correcting your mistakes. And he's a gentleman. This to me is part of debate.

    Nobody mentioned it.. Its what actually happened. And if you wanted to make some sort of case about him showing lack of heart in doing so then I suppose I can understand it to some degree. But like I said it had nothing to do with Chris Byrd going in there and actually "beating" him. And you can't make projections on what might have happened had the fight continued.
