    Rather then correct you, why don't you tell me how Norton did vs punchers? Hint-hint, in more than one case he did not last long...as in less than three rounds!

    Norton has KO 1, a KO2, and a KO 1 losses on his resume, and was also upset by a KO sub 200 pound man.

    His chin was fine vs guys on Holmes or Ali's power level, but not vs bigger punchers. I'll stand he would not last 5 rounds vs Vitali as his attacking style and suspect chin to big hitters could come into play.

    Vitali's power is overated he hit Briggs flush all night and couldn't budge him, he hit Lewis with right hands and he stayed erect.

    Vitali wasn't a puncher. He stopped guys on accumulation. He wouldn't land a glove on prime Norton or Holmes who could move at angles for 15 rounds.
    Vitali looked like a buffoon against guys who showed even the simplest of movement.

    Reality doesn't lie..

    lol this section again.... Vitali wasnt a puncher now? The guy rarely committed to a punch and threw arm punches from a safe distance. when he did commit like the Lewis punch in the second rnd he could really hurt you. Lewis also took M. Tysons right hands so i guess Tyson is a non puncher too?

    Vitali Klitchko visibly hurt Briggs more than Foreman did and stated Vitali hit him harder than anyone. Even so its nonsense suggesting vitali didnt have heavy hands....he had heavier hands than wlad just not the impact of how hard he hit bc of the style of punching and technique. It takes power to hurt someone just arm punching or shovel punching,he also had shoulder problems which is CRUCIAL for power punching thats why he retired later in his career isnt it? ....wow! :facepalm:

    Well that would have ZERO to do if Vitali wasnt a puncher or not. There were many guys that Wlad hit harder than,are they not punchers bc of that too? Come on?? lol

    i know one thing,anyone claiming Vitali wasnt a puncher has never been punched in the face or punched by anyone who can punch..forget the VIDEO footage available showing this as well?? SMH.... :icon_pc:

    The two times VK stepped up he lost by TKO..............he did the business against the usual no hopers, cannon fodder and toatlly washed up has beens but nevertheless his resume on the elite level is TKO X 2........he was impressive in his comeback against a very limited Sam Peter, probably the high light of his career but he will always be remembered by TKO 6.
