Not invincible but truly amazing fighter. I have recently seen a video of a very young Vitali in a kick boxing match and there you could see his spirit, spirit of a true warrior that is out there to dominate. I watched the Sanders bout with Vitali yesterday. Sanders was able to hurt Vitali who was clearly not invincible but still one of the greatest that we have seen. I rate him much more than Vladimir.
He's a fukin bum in an era of bubblebums. My goodness, one round is all it takes to watch and see how bad his technique is, how slow he is, how awkward and clumsy he is. It's pathetic, he's just BIGGER and is fighting absolute trash.
He wasn't good enough to beat Lennox. He couldn't stop Lennox like McCall and Rahman did, he couldn't last the whole fight like Mercer and Mavrovic did, and this despite being near his physical prime and dominating the opening rounds while Lennox was clearly out of shape and long out of his prime and arguably in the worst condition he'd ever been in for a title fight. All the excuses and the all the proclamations of greatness and invincibility in the potential multiverse wont change the fact that on the night he fought Lennox Lewis, Vitali was not good enough to get the job done.
Hell no! His brother has had a better career than him, he quit against little 210lb Byrd, and lost in his prime at 32 against an over the hill Lewis at 38 when his grill was chopped up like liver, no that wasn't, luck he lost period. Joe Louis was more invincible than VK he reigned for a very long 12 years, 25 title defenses, a prime 67 Ali was a helluva lot more invincible but had his prime stolen from him by the Government, even Mayweather whom a lot of people don't like is a way better more invincible talented fighter than him, he's dominated longer without all of the injuries and never tasted defeat, and the long periods of inactivity.. I guess it's pretty easy to keep winning in such a weak era, when your fighting in your own backyard in Germany.. I notice how the K bros are scared to fight in the states after VK was chopped up in LA, and his brother was Knocked out in VEGAS..
I agree Vitali is a strong contender for H2H GOAT, but when is he going to fight again? I don't see why he couldn't have fought in 2013 and imo it's time the WBC got him to make a decision or retire.
Yea because the HW division is full of world beaters right? Stfu troll. Dude lost to the two best fighters he fought. And even tho it has **** all to do with Mayweather, Shitali still cant hold his jock.
Chisora won more then two rounds against him and by the triangle theory that must mean chisora is better then any of his opponents.
Took Lewis on with just 10 days notice. Promised rematch never was not in Lennox best interest. We all know why. Slavic Power
