    Have I picked Vitali yet? If not, I pick Vitali.

    His dominance in his fights tells me he's on another level.

    You must be ******ed or so. I am talking about the age of Holyfield and not his opponents for christ sake. You are listing fights where Holyfield was way past his prime. You must be desperate to resort to arguments like this.

    After endless exchanges, you finally admit that you forgot Tyson as one Holyfield's top wins.Judging by your comments, you still haven't watched the Moorer-Holyfield fight. Do you have any idea what the HBO card was.
    Vitali got stopped by Lewis. Holyfield did obviously better against a better trained and younger Lewis. Not sure you are even talking about this

    I’m going with Holyfield by a late TKO on cuts. Bruising encounter but Evander has more heart

    Someone is ticked off and you don't have to be.

    And I was pointing out Vitali beat the better version of Donald which is a fact. Vitali beat Donald when Donald was 35 and in better shape. Wanna compare their performances agains Vaughn Bean? Well, do you need another excuse why Vitali belt him out and stopped Bean, but Holyfield looked like crap and took the same guy the distance?

    Once again I was mocking and using Mcvey's data. Of corse I know Tyson was one of Holyfield two best wins, maybe his greatest., and said so. You must have issues reading.

    Holyfield was very lucky to draw with Lewis. Vitali might have won more rounds, and its unlikely Holyfield was actually in the lead after 6 rounds.

    Yes I have watched the Holyfield vs. Moorer fight. Do you have any idea how much of a cheerleader HBO is for their own fighters, which Holyfield clearly was? Is that what your having your hat on? Watch the fight again, and I already showed you the punch stats, which are clearly Moorer . Show us your score card on Holyfield vs More and Lewis 1. The laugher night be louder than the fireworks tonight. Are you going to do that. I doubt it.

    And don't think for a moment we don't know you hate Vitali. Please do continue to be a fan boy of the head butting PED abuser who once quit in a fight, was floored by Bert Cooper, and went 1-1-1 vs Ruiz. Yeah he beat Tyson. The middle 1990's post prison version of him. Tyson fans will tell you this was not the 1991 Tyson who likely would have beaten Holyfield.

    Wanna compare Vitali's performance against Kingpin to Joshua's?

    Kingpin wasn't good enough to last more than two rounds against a SHW with skills on the inside. Vitali has has no inside skills so he was taken the distance by Kingpin. A few slips and shoulder rolls by Johnson shut down Vitali's offence to the point where he couldn't even land a hurtful punch.
    Joshua was able to make his own openings against Kingpin which is why he blew him away.

    With no defence and no inside skill , Vitali would be stripped apart by Holyfield. Picking Vitali is like picking Carl Froch to beat Andre Ward.

    The way a novice and green Joshua Destroyed Johnson was nothing short of embarrassing for Vitali.

    Point 1: So what? He still lost and again Lewis was shot
    Point 2: The most important fight of his career
    Point 3: With pleasure, not hard at all:

    1. Muhammad Ali
    2. Joe Louis
    3. Jack Johnson
    4. Larry Holmes
    5. Lennox Lewis
    7. Evander Holyfield
    8. George Foreman
    9. Mike Tyson
    10. Rocky Marciano

    Point 4: Wlad maybe could get in but Vitali, no way.
