Vitali lost to the best two opponents he faced. Had he met a prime Holyfield, he'd have lost to the best three opponents he'd faced. Holyfield had speed, workrate, toughness, and was an underrated technician. Holyfield W UD 12
P4P H2H as per the thread title? As in who would win if they were both the same size? As they were in reality, it'd be a real interesting fight, relative to their respective sizes Holyfield was clearly the more accomplished fighter.
Your post got me to thinking, what was Vitali's best win? Chisora Briggs Sanders Samual Peter? Cannot see Vitali winning a decision here, and he's not stopping Evander. Not busy enough
His chin is another aspect that is really underrated. He's durable as hell and packed with 12 RD gas tank.
It's difficult to tell. Sanders - probably? Definitely not Briggs, though. That guy shouldn't have been anywhere near a world championship title fight.
