    Vitali. One of the best KO records of all time, he's never been down, his only 2 losses were because of injury.
    WHy would you rank Lewis over this guy honestly? Rahman knocked LL out with 1 punch! LL hit Vitali with an uppercut from freakin hell, and the man walked right through it!!! And as we all know his face was all cut up, and he was still doing well, and didn't want to stop the fight.
    So, the man has power, a great chin, a great record, great heart, and even recently has come back through injuries after a 4 year layoff to beat Peter, and Gomez. Not something LL will be doing anytime soon...

    So, my rankings:

    1: Vitali
    2: LL
    3 Wlad
