    For you sir:shock:

    Yes, that is it. 150 rounds won to only 6 rounds lost. For a extra:good, can you name any heavyweight with a better ratio of rounds won to rounds lost?

    According to Boxrec, he's boxed 156 rounds and has lost 6 rounds on two or more judge's cards (3 against Byrd, 2 against Lewis and 1 against Hide.)

    However, there are LOADS of fights in which the score cards aren't given, so it is highly likely he's lost more than 6 rounds, even though he his generally very dominant in his wins.

    I can certainly name a heavyweight with a much worse ratio.

    Evander Holyfield : about 272-138.

    And yet oddly enough, despite losing all those rounds, he's also got a better legacy.

    Well Sanders took at least 2 rounds. I seem to remember he lost a few to Donald and Hoffman. Not sure what the happened against Bean. I'd also have given Lennox 3rounds. In terms of ranked opponents Vitali's comp is pretty dire

    Sanders only took one round. Lewis only took two. Byrd took two, and Hide took one. That's it. Six rounds. You might give Vaugh Bean the 9th round. I have seen most Vitali's fights. His fights are very easy to score.

    Riddle me this Power Puncher, how come a prime Ali gave up rounds to the likes of Cooper, Mildenberger, Blin, an older Folley and such, and Vitlai who's competition was better than the names I mentioned lost less rounds in his entire career?

    I'm all eyes and ears. And no, Vitlai does not lose a single round to any of the guys I mentioned in this thread that Ali fought.

    You're comparing Ali, a boxer, to Vitali, a power puncher. Of course the guy in the era of 15 round fights who isn't bombing guys out is going to of lost more rounds.

    The fact that he's got a ridiculously low amount of rounds under his belt to begin directly ties into how many he's lost.

    Regardless of the fact that losing rounds does not necessarily mean that Ali COULDN'T have won them...

    Mildenberger would've destroyed Vaughn Bean. Byrd, too. He would've schooled Hide unless he got stopped (which is a likely possibility).
