    Not me. I think vitali is too tough. Not a big fan of Vitali or his resume..but I think he’s kind of wrong for Ken. Too strong and resilient by far.

    but, like the rest of them, put vitali in the 1970s and have him develop only with what was available then..and he might not even make it as a fighter. Too gangly to be sufficiently effective.

    Vitali would do as good as Gerrie Coetzee did against Mike Weaver. Although Norton was better than Weaver , Vitali was not as good or maybe was around the same level skill-wise as Coetzee.

    Take a guy like Tony Tucker. He had more variety and threw punches with better technique compared to Vitali. Tucker is the more complete boxer on film.

    Another thing , the one-dimensional stiff upright Euro style has historically came up short against the multi dimensional , all-round American style.

    Picking Vitali is like picking Dariusz Michalczewski to defeat Michael Spinks

    People keep saying Vitali isn’t winning because Norton could compete with Ali and Holmes. That argument really doesn’t work since Ali and Holmes fought nothing like Vitali, plus they don’t have his physical attributes. I get that people think Ali and Holmes are better but they don’t have much in common with Vitali at all. Norton beat Ali so he should beat foreman right? Apparently not

    That's the point. Vitali's size isn't enough to bridge that vast gap in class. What else does he demonstrably possess to make up for it?

    Here we see the difference between a hater and an objective minded poster.

    Let's see. Better power, and better chin for openers. Even you would have to admit that.

    Norton vs Punchers

    Shavers KO1
    Foreman KO2
    Cooney KO1

    You might say he was a better boxer then these three and I'd agree with you. And so is Vitali. If Norton had such a vast gap in class, he would have done much better in these fights.

    What you don't understand is this style was engaging and put I'm in the path of punchers. Some say Norton could be intimidated. Vitali has 4 1/2 inches in height, about 30-35 pounds in weight and in my opinion longer arms.

    Nah, When I talk about Fury, its him, not Mike Spinks, Coetzee, and Michalczewski in the mix to explain why he losses, which won't happen vs the next guy he's facing.

    One easy not close to top ten ranked ( Ring Magazine ) fight for that lineal champion? Okay. We are getting three since he won it. Way too much. That's my issue. Having said that Dino's virus like posts could have infected some people, myself included. Thanks for the check.

    I recently found out you were perma-banned for being a terrible poster so like you were told by somebody else, stfu about calling out others for being banned . I have never been perma'd like you . I was banned on 3 occasions for trivial matters.
    1. Bypassing the word filter
    2. Posting a twitter account
    3. For calling you out for what you are. I received a ban for that because you ran to the mods.

    and lol@villiage idiot. . I could , but won't round up all the respectable and well known posters on here who hate your guts. . I know for fact some won't even give you the gratitude of a response , which is the worst insult of all.
