    And when I mean ATG, does he crack your all-time top 100 P4P list?

    Vote.

    Not even close. He'd make my top 50 HW list, that's about it.

    I would have to say no.

    His brother will probably be regarded as an ATG in the light of history.

    P4P NOPE, but as a HW top15 material maybe, so that makes him an ATG in my book

    Which criteria, Head to head or record? If record then absolutely not. H2H maybe.

    No. Who has he beaten?

    Based on head to head, resume, or a combo of both?

    I ask because saying a guy whose career defining wins are over a 38 year old Corrie Sanders and obese slobs in Sam Peter and Chris Arreola is a top 15 HW is seriously strange.

    Exactly. Even Ibeabuchi has better wins against top notch opponents than Vitali, but if you call him anything other than a better than average contender you get shot at by some people.

    i make my choice because of h2h.
    his resume is way too weak to be even regarded top 50 all time heavy weight
    but he is a great fighter with great skills

    He also accomplished that in 20 fights without winning a title. Vitali hasn't beaten one top notch opponent yet and he is in the twilight in his career. He can fight Haye but I don't think he'd win; if he did then that would be his best win. He won't fight Wlad so let's not even get into that.

    I am curious to see who you pick Vitali over?

    I'd wait until he finishes his career before rating him.
