    Snake,

    It was an illegal spinning back kick. And no he wasn't out cold.

    As a pro Vitali Klitschko took Lewis best, Hide's best and Sanders best plus punches for 40 other fighters, and was never down.

    I'd say he has a top level chin. Who among at heavyweight was tested by better on film and DID not go down. List the names if you can.

    1 ) It will likely be wrong

    2 ) I predict the list will be very short

    If Wilder hit his hardest shot, flush on Vitali, Vitali would go down, not out.

    Wilder tends to wind up, take a shuffle step then a full step throwing his entire body weight into his right hand.

    The title said on Vitali chin, assuming that means flush with no partial glove block, Vitali goes down, gets back up and beats the hell out of Wilder.

    Imo Lewis was beginning to take control of the fight and was landing hard shots with frequency when it was stopped. I've heard over and over about how in control Vitali was at the point of the stoppage but it's just complete bull**** imo and I've watched it back quite recently

    I'm not sure how many flush Wilder shots Vitali can take but I am sure Wilder could not take Vitali's best shot, without going down, and likely leading to a stoppage.

    Wilder never stopped one top ten contender under the age of 40, or has he? His KO% is built upon fringe contender types and the old.

    Are you that dumb to compare a punch to a spinning leg kick ?!????
    Not to mention Vitali was just a teenager when this fight took place.

    What is the best shot Vitali ever threw? I can't place it. Nothing rings a bell.

    He's got 41 KOs. Which punch was the "best"?

    Getting back to the topic, no boxer can take such a punch and not go down. And I'm not talking about Wilder here, but any top hard hittin HW. They can all do damage when they land. In this case, I suspect Vitali will go down, but he won't be out cold.
    But like I said, anyone will go down.

    Pretty sure Vitali could take Wilder's best. Don't think DW would make the final bell vs Vitali.

    (Cut and paste the same lame argument repeated in a thousand other threads here.)

    Everyone seems to recognize Wilder's best punch.

    What was Vitali's best punch? The one Wilder couldn't take?

    Would have been a good fight in 2013. I expect Vitali would have won even at 42. An injury free pre comeback Vitali would wreck Wilder.

    He didn't wreck Timo Hoffman, or Ross Puritty or Vaughn Bean or Chris Byrd ... so probably not wreck.

    That's not saying Vitali wouldn't win. But he was more of a patient fellow. Not a bull dozer.

    He knocked out Puritty and Bean, two iron chinned opponents. Wilder feasted on much lesser men on the way up. Byrd has been well documented. I did say injury free in my comment.
