    Many people cry when they're disappointed. Vitali moans and runs away like a ballerina when he gets hit with a jab. Manuel Charr gonna crush him.

    Vitali is better than Wladimir in all areas, however hes defense is poor if boxers should put their punches together, he has never been under pressaure from a fighter that put together more than two punches at a time. I would like to see him defend him self against one brutal force as a Mike Tyson in his prime ( like when he destroyed Spinks)

    That's like saying if young Mike Tyson wasn't so fast he'd have no offence............

    Not of late. Wlad would have blasted Chisora out of there, no way would Briggs and Johnson lasted 12 either.

    How will you find bigger opponents for Valuev?
    It is not like there are bigger boxers.

    Chris Byrd is probably the greatest defensive heavyweights of all time.

    You know, the guy who made VK quit. :hat

    It's easy to have a good defense when you are bigger than you average opponents, it's defiantly a lot harder when your smaller than most you opponents. Byrd became heavyweight champ primarily on his defensive skills and he was natural middleweight.

    Chris Byrd is up there. Truly remarkable how young, stiff one-armed Vitali managed to beat this defensive genius up like a ragdoll.

    Plus he lost a shutout and got KTFO by BabyKlit. Byrd is a good shout though.
