    Absolutely. They prove that violence doesn't solve anything.

    Not even the best in the HW division. Consult the "Sugar" Nicolay Valuev thread for more information.

    Well, they are excellent ambassadors for the sport as they are both very well educated and gentlemen. Another decent role model would be Bernard Hopkins based on his life story and his overall approach to life.

    It was given to him by a general practioner as a treatment for an injury. He admitted he should have gone to a sports physician.

    He wasn't "juicing" as some would imply.

    Vitali, years ago, said that he made a mistake by going to a regular doctor to be treated for an injury. He said he should have gone to a specialist. That treatment for injury cost Vitali the gold medal. Vitali fought both as a kick boxer and boxer, which is incredible! The lies put out by Void's fans make me want to puke, but they are lies as usual. Vitali was a six time world kickboxing champion, both pro and amateur. World Military Champion, International Champion, etc., he was also WBO world champion which he won from Herbie Hide in London by second round knockout. Vitali was a five to one underdog. WBC champion now and in is book of world records for coming back after a four year layoff to win world title.

    Vitali and Vlad have give huge amounts of money to Nigerian children, Brazilian children, Ukrainian children, you name it, children all over the entire world. I remember when they were in Brazil, they really made a difference. However, the biased do not care, of course. When Vitali fought Peter, it was Vitali who gave to Nigerian children, not Peter! They do not drink, do not take drugs, eat well, do not trash talk, etc. They fight the best they can get into a ring, which is something so many other do not do. They are legit champions.
