    No, all he needs is one good rotator cuff to beat him.

    Dubois won on headbutts nothing else. He should've been disqualified or at the very least went to points and Hrgovic would've won. I don't get how no one mentions that when they talk about this fight.

    Either way, Vitali would've lit him up.

    Honestly think his performance against Lennox before the cut was phenomenal though. Its funny though because you are right in terms of Vitali's somewhat thin record as it was Vitali's signature performance rather than his signature win.

    That's Lewis' absolute last fight though... And he didn't look himself by a long way.

    But is that because Lewis was shot, or because Vitali was really that good?

    Very often the way with the last fight or two of a dominant fighters era...


    It's aged well as losses go, for sure.

    The more I think of Vitali the more I think of how good Lennox win over him was.

    Dubois is twice the fighter that Danny Williams was.

    Hrg couldn`t hurt Dubois and was eating too much leather.

    Vitali is so good at fighting backwards let alone for a 6'7 heavyweight. Doesn't need to clinch anywhere as much as Wlad he just fights you off.

    Vitali wins comfortably. His lateral movement against Dubois who moves in straight lines with next to no lateral movement would see the fight fought in the centre where Vitali would dominate. Only way Dubois wins is via cuts by headbutts.

    Vitali was an animal. H2H possibly the best ever HW. Dubois wouldn't have a prayer.
