    Dude, you got your virtual a@@ kicked. You asked for the ranked men Vitali fought in WBC title matches I listed 7 men, with is 5 more than Wilder has.

    I showed you the jokes Wilder fought who weren't even as good as Johnson. Wilder beat one ring magazine ranked man under the age of 38! That's it. If Ortiz was 35, he likely finishes Wilder. But he was listed at 38, many say he was 40!

    VItlai's opposition > Wilder's and its not even close. Wilder is D-O-N-E

    I think Vitali beat better than the undefeated Johnson or #3 ranked Adamek. Now take note he beat them easily! Wilder struggles vs non ranked men, not one or two, but a lot of them. Why?

    We know some people like you and Dino loathe the Klitschko's but don't think you can spew for BS in a boxing forum that knows better.

    Fury is a PED cheat and says he wants to retire soon.

    Wilder a cherry picker and over rated. He beat no body good in their prime. Adamek or Johnson could be argued as his second best win if Wilder beat them. LOL

    Joshua stands alone

    Ortiz is old, very old. His career is over. He had drug issues, which is why Wilder waited for him to age. Fact.

    Parker fights scared. Why I dunno.

    Whyte is too heavy and lives off one good punch he landed on Joshua/

    Those are the guys you like to watch? They may be competitive as there is not dominant champion these days.

    remember vitali is a pes cheat. Confirmed. Or does he get a pass?

    remember vitali lost to his only true elite level heavyweight opponents

    rememeber vitali defended against sosnowski, charr, Briggs, ex light heavy Adamek, Chris nips, 38 year old fat sanders, chisora that fury had already beat. That is one foul resume for a ‘H2H’ beast

    Your 'one sided' breakdowns are terrible. All you try to do is look at Vitali's resume and say it's poor. Are you competently unaware of the current crap resume's of the top HW's?!?!?

    Vitali always tested clean as a pro. Byrd was lucky, plain and Simple. Vitali was ahead of Lewis 4-2 on all cards. Lewis was gassing when the fight was stoped on a cut. Lewis did not offer the re-match. What Vitlai's two losses show is even when injured Vitali was better than two excellent heavyweights.

    I prefer but vitali beat who??

    fury beat the 10 year champion

    fury then beat the WBC 5 year champion, completing a clean sweep of heavyweight major belts.

    now if he beats AJ....Then retires undefeated?

    give me that over sosnowski, Briggs, solis etc etc and defeats to byrd and old man lewis any day!

    hi again also. What does gdm stand for? May aswell get to know you since you comment on everything

    Fury beat a near 40 about to retire champ and that 5 year champ, was just deaontay wilder FFS. The mere fact that you have to resort to phrasing them that ways suggests you know you have to spin it.

    Wlad lost to a 37/38 year old pot bellied sanders? But wait....sanders was still prime and dangerous.

    vitali got a worse version and struggled .
    Can’t have it both ways.

    Kingping having a top 10 ranking says the era was in the doldrums. A novice Joshua banged Kingpin out in 6 minutes while Vitali was taken the distance.
    Adamek wouldn't hold a top 3 ranking today . He struggled to beat Steve Cunningham.

    You never explained why Vitali gave a title shot to an unranked Shannon Briggs whose previous fight was filmed on a camcorder by somebody in the audience. Maybe it was a case of it being slim pickings at the time.
    Thats not a problem in todays HW scene. 5 PPVs were scheduled for the first half of 2020 alone. Thats more than there was during a decade of the post Lewis HW era.

    Yeah, Wlad did, so? Is that it? No, Sanders wasn't prime, but a fighter of his size and speed CAN be dangerous.

    Can't have what both ways?! That statement doesn't even apply to anything... You try to hard to hate dude.

    Vitlai was old ( 39 ) when he picked Briggs, who got the fight based on running his mouth and being a former champion. Vitali gave Briggs a beating. Briggs had broken facial bones and was in the hospital. His corner should have stopped it. As a former lineal champion and big puncher, I was okay with this title selection. I would have rather seen Haye or Valuev, both declined offers to fight Vitali. It's not like Briggs lacked wins, or KO's. I like to see the current champions pick a real puncher if they don't fight a top ten opponent to help sell the fight That's hasn't been the case for all three Fury, Wilder, or Joshua.

    Don't sell Adamek short, he beat Golota, Estrada ( USA Super heavyweight Olympian ), Grant, Arreola and Chambers.

    I think you should be very thankful for the Kiitschko era. Its 20%+ of you posts! You remain fixated on the topic.

    The Klitschko had no trouble selling out big stadiums for their title fights in Europe. PPV has changed and really isn't a gauge the interest level. People pass and watch the reply the next day or see it illegally.

    how am I hating? Wlad is an ATG. I have zero problem with this. I’m happy to have wlad 10-15. You might have him no.1. Who really cares.

    I just think vitalis resume is pretty average....and it’s frustrating when people try to defend it
