    Ever notice who a certain poster name that rhymes with P()$$@ Velvet picks anyone to beat Vitali in these polls? He is at least consistent!

    Why are you talking to your alt account? You refuse you answer the question in the other thread. Ducky

    Enough of that DINO Velvet. You can't take a hint either. I routinely wipe the floor with your comments and ask you questions that you can not answer. Now let's not go accusing anyone of ALTs. That's all hater. I don't want to waste anymore time by you.

    Vitali never learnt to keep that left hand up. Tim will catch him with that overhand right consistently

    Tim would land some good shots , win some rounds, but ultimately Vitali’s work rate would win the day.

    I like Witherspoon and think had hae fantastic unrealized potential, but Vitklit wins this just on conditioning and consistency.

    Perhaps, if it were not for the cuts. Vitali has shown a propensity for cuts

    What fights besides Lewis? List them! You talking out if your rear end. Vitali said he was never badly cut is 200+ amateur matches and never cut badly in at all in his pro matches, except one.

    Calling you out on this propensity for cuts nonsense. Reply to it or admit you're wrong. A non reply for silence means I'm right.

    Its like saying Witherspoon a man I respect and rate as a top 25 all time great heavyweights, is prone to knocked out by punchers which Vitali certainly was because he lost in one round to Smith!

    The young Witherspoon who fought Holmes makes Vitali look stupid. Vitali has no idea how to deal with that sort of athleticism, footwork, and old school boxing. Spoon's overhand right would go right over Vitali's low hanging left, and his crab defense neutralizes Vitali's repetitive straight punches down the middle.

    Decent match. Can Vitali's sheer size thwart Witherspoon's much greater skill?

    Because he does not get hit often. keep in mind that he was dominating his opponents . When he gets hit though he gets cut.

    So his defense was good and he does not get hit that often by anyone or check the punch stats and score cards is what your saying? I dot want to put words in your mouth.

    In all of his 250+ combat matches and kick boxing he only suffered one bad cut is what I am saying not that all of these fighters did land sometimes on him. Facts. Ali once lost a fight on cuts in the amateurs and was cut more often as a pro. Another fact. But Vitali is cut prone?

    And Witherspoon was to be like you ( for the moment ) was KO'd in one round and Vitali has the second highest KO% among heavyweight magazine champions. So....

    I get it. Your antipathy toward Vitali prevents you from picking him in just about every fantasy fight match up I've seen.
