    I never once said that. . Show me that post you dishonest little worm? All you can do here is lie and deny blatant facts.

    He said their upright 1-2 off the backfoot styles were very similar which is a pretty fair and valid point. How else could/should they be similar for you to concede your point that they had nothing in common at all?

    You used the chris Byrd fight to justify why Norton would beat Vitali dude.

    moors if fighters use 1-2 Blackfoot stances. But Bugner fought passively while Vitali was an aggressor. Vitali could punch and was better than Bugner.

    No... you just like to use it because you have nothing else.... no other template to work with. Bugner was a safety first fighter with no power. If Manuel Ramos were the closest thing to Vitali you had to work with youd claim they were identical. Same approach every time

    I agree Vitali was better and more aggressive than Bugner. They're still similar enough to make a comparison in the same way that Frazier was much better and more agressive than Chisora yet the comparison is still there because there are similarities despite the gulf in class

    There's a certain clique of posters here thatwill pick against Vitali no matter who he's fighting. These same guys have his face fall off in a stiff breeze and his rotator cuff tear when he punches in the floor button on an elevator. :deal:

    Wow seriously? If only you were in Ali's corner in TFOTC!

    Agreed. That Ali (who?) guy sucked, and Foreman was a featherfist. They'd have no chance at stopping Vitali. Only a powerhouse former LHW in Chris Byrd, with a jaw dropping 46% KO ratio could accomplish that.

    Frazier got stopped twice by Ali? Unfortunately, with age my memory just isn't what it was but I seem to remember Frazier laughing, and pressing forward, as Ali, (a very respectable puncher with exclusive KOs of iron-chinned fighters such as Liston, Foreman, Bonavena among others despite your laughable claim he was light-hitting) as Ali was throwing bomb after bomb at him and himself remarked "If I took the punches he did, I'd have been going home a lot earlier", until Frazier's manager wouldn't let him come out despite Frazier's begging. Had that not happened Ali would've quit (in his own words). And Frazier would be 2-1. Can you please refresh my memory?

    Also, while you're at it, their's another fight I need help identifying if you would be so kind. I vaguely remember a fighter getting stopped by a blown up middleweight featherfist. I just can't remember who this fighter was. I'd really appreciate your help if you'd be so kind.

    Wow I forgot that masterpiece where Vitali failed to stop a 40 year old Briggs, the same Briggs Lewis stopped with ease 12 years prior. Based on that, I may have to reconsider Frazier's chances here! I'm not sure he could topple such a beast!

    Kinda proves that the division went down the tubes in the 2000s. If the eye test wasn't enough.
