    Evander Holyfield lost to Toney when he was not just over the hill but rolled on his side and covered in flies, Vitali had a freak accident and decided to preserve his career by not fighting on against the Byrd and didn’t activate his rematch clause for whatever reason that’s irrelevant he was beating Byrd easily before the doctors stoppage.


    That it? Byrd may have figured Vitali out and made him look silly in a Rematch but who cares this isn’t old Holy vs Toney this isn’t Byrd vs Vitali 2 this is prime for prime Vitali vs Evander.

    No he was not. Byrd was coming on. The fight took place in Germany so do not pay attention to the offical scorecards.

    Byrd was coming for one round the point where Vitali's arm went numb. He was out of the fight and very lucky to win. He was very surprised to win. All this showed is an injured Vital was well ahead of a prime Chris Byrd. Like I said Holyfield quit in a fight un-injured.

    To point on the match up, Holyfield limitations were exposed vs Lewis and Bowe. Most people think Vitali was better than Bowe. As I've said before Holy's 1-4 vs Lewis and Bowe on a fair card, 1-1 vs Moorer, and a 1-1-1 vs Ruiz. Yes, he did beat a post Prison Mike Tyson.

    I had Vitali ahead in a relatively close fight. I do not think Vitali is better than Bowe and I doubt most people think so. Look, Evander has way better wins than Vitali. that is a FACT. You can take a apart nearly anybody's record, that is an easy game to play.

    You like to talk a lot about Holyfield's record. Let's talk about Vitali's record then. What is ACTUALLY Vitali's best win? Your entire post is based on wishful speculation that Vitali would do this and would do that.

    Bower was obviously a much more polished and skilful boxer than the rudimentary Vitali.

    Prime Bowe would have nailed Chris Byrd to the canvas and sparked an old , slow and underprepared Lewis clean out. :sisi1

    Vitali has several dominating wins vs top ten ranked opponents / former alphabet champions and unlike Holyfield did not struggle at all. If you want to pick one of the go for it, I will show you how Holyfield looked worse vs a lesser man. Face it, the PED abuser has some shaky performances vs men not names Lewis or Bowe.

    Vitali never was behind in any fight or floored. That's how good he was. If you wan to get technical not one judge ever gave a Vitali opponent more than 3 rounds!

    Now you can acknowledge the points I made on Holyfield, or debate them. Silence = I am correct.

    No Vitali fought in a weak era. What is Vitali's best win again?

    More like he dominated his era, and didn't make his name on washed up former greats.

    I'd say Sanders or Peter were his best wins, who are close to even with Ruiz or Moorer. Remember Holyfield went 1-1-1 vs Ruiz and 1-1 vs Moorer. Ruiz and Moorer are in Holyfield best five wins.

    As mentioned Vitali was dominant in all wins vs top ten competition, Holyfield meanwhile struggled vs the likes of Bert Cooper, and Vaughn Bean and looked rather poor in many other matches vs non top ten fighters.

    My turn, which Holyfield win was he clean for? How come you won't dispute any of my points? How did Holyfield do vs the best bigger fighter he fought?

    38 year old Corrie Sanders and fat man Sam Peter are Vitali's best wins.
