    Vitali missed a ton of punches against Johnson. Byrd was coming on, he was slightly behind, that was typical hometown scoring in Germany. And Vitali had trouble as well against Gomez.

    He likely fought it in Lewis but it was an older Lewis ...

    You are ducking my question! Why can't you answer it? I am using facts, numbers / stats and you come back with Nada,

    No Vitali doesn't have as good as defense as Mayweather. The man has shut other men down with his defense and not been hit in many rounds vs ranked opposition. No Vitali doest have the footwork or foot speed like Pep did. See how easy it is for me to detach?

    Now I'm asking you again I want to read your reply. Now maybe you can show me how Toney would " out smart " Vitali. You can impress me by constructing it and backing it up with logical and ring examples which would apply.

    Or you can No Mas me all together if you want to avoid the question. I answered yours. Fair is fair. You're up.

    I guess Johnson strategy of hoping for an injury didn't work out, right? Johnson fought Vitali in neutral Switzerland by the way, not Germany. The fight wasn't close at all. You the only one that I read that thinks Vitali had trouble.

    It seems like many people are irrational when it comes to Vitali.

    Vitali is both an ATG and a H2H beast
    Easily backed by facts and not feelings.

    Toney lost to Montell Griffin. Where was his vaunted fight IQ then?

    JT could be outworked and you could make plans around his skillset. Klitschko could simply jab him silly.

    I already said Toney probably loses - but if he was going to win this fight, it would be on smart boxing, he's certainly not going to KO Vitali.

    Again I'm done - you are the typical irrational, feelings-based argument type who throws all kind of outrageous statements out there, then demands 'facts' LOL - like your 'fact' about Toney's skills amounting to a "hill of beans" against McCallum, a fighter Toney beat!

    Complete drivel.

    You agree that they ranked James Toney at heavy and Joe Mesi in 2000? My point was that the list wasn’t from 2000.

    So now comes the point where you are cornered with words and logic. You can't admit I'm right and have my points, so it's best to play the hater and divel card while you're way out. I checked out some of your posts. You are as I initially thought you are, which is disappointing. But I thought for a moment you might be different

    Toney's defense did not about to much in the fights I listed, and was talking about the close fight to the 35 year old McCallum! The first fight. A fight where Toney was 24. Not that facts, data, and ring observation mean much to you. Okay so long.

    Defended the title many times and even into a late age.

    Regained the title after hiatus.

    Dominated.
