    I think there a good few that he beats u have to remeber although heavyweights arent entertaining or draw peaople to watch them. The fact of the matter is many of the top 10 heavyweights wouldnt even be considered heavys in the modern game.

    None of them.

    He's slow, predictable, flat-footed and technically limited with awful timing.

    liston beats him i believe,listons reach is greater then vitali's so he'd reach him with the jab all right

    None cause he's not American. Also he doesn't have "swagger".

    Lewis wasn't american and he would smash a lot of that list, plus vitali couldn't even beat an old out of shape lewis and that speaks volumes.

    Weak resume in a poor era is all I can say. Let's put him in an era with Ali/Foreman/Frazier/Liston, Lewis/Tyson/Holyfield/Bowe, Dempsey/Johnson/Wills or Marciano/Louis etc and we'll see how he does. He's one of the most over-rated fighters in history. I'd give Wlad a better chance against some of those names then him.

    He's got a good chance against anyone who he'd be in the ring with...He'd be coming with the same will to win that the 'greats' before him had...Counting him out against anyone makes no sense. It seems like those who are quick to dismiss him aren't taking into account that he'd be in there fighting back which gives him the same chance at coming away the winner.

    All of them beat him, serously Vitali is the most overrated HW ever, if he was just HALF as good as some think he was he would've soundly took care of an old worn out Lewis.

    Vitali is a tough fight for ANY Heavyweight in history. His combination of chin, aggression, awkward style, workrate, counterpunching, power & overall size make him a formidable opponent. He could lose to many of them just as easily though, obviously it's very hard to sure either way.
