    You've been around since CHEF. You should know.

    The guy could probably pick you and me up at the same time and spin us like pizzas.

    Fight strength? Unknown. Most of the time he wasn't a physical fighter
    He got rag dolled by Lewis tho and pushed back by Chisora.

    His brother was probably stronger and he was outmuscled by Tyson Fury.

    Oh come on.Vitali matched Lennox Lewis for physical strength.To deny this is just plain daft.

    You need to be genuinely concussed to think Lewis was doing anything to Vitali strength-wise.
