I think Frazier, Lewis, Tyson, Holy, Foeman, Ali, and Holmes all beat him quite easily. I'm not even sure how he would do against against peak versions of Mercer, Ruddock, Bruno and Ike. Wlad on the other hand is much more talented than Vitaly but he lacks the mental toughness of his bro.
You can dispute h2h all day long about Vitali and feel free to do so. I think Vitali gives all of those guys you listed above a lot of problems and beats some of them. The fact that you only list the top heavyweights of all time says something more important to me though. You feel that only a very limited, most successful group of heavies beats Vitali h2h. I think this speaks volumes about how incredbile Vitali could have possibly been had he been healthy and 2 fights he was winning had a few more rounds each.
Vitali is one of my top 5 favorite heavyweights ever. his injury issues concern though. we can't even be positive he'll make it to the ring to face Haye.
Man, you really are insecure, aren't you? Looks like I struck a nerve on someone who has to insult to make his beleaguered point.:bart Keep up the good work, some day you'll have to look in the mirror and realize you see a fool whose classless insults only reflected on him and his own lack of character. You sir, are making an ass out of yourself, but it's not in my interest to put you out of your misery. I'm sure you can keep screwing up on your own.
Not at all. You just backed up a catastrophically embarrassing statement, and I felt inclined to make you see its idiocy. Sorry if I did indeed offend you, its never my intention to do so on forums, but insults here are kinda part and parcel, and taken with a pinch of salt.:good Either way, can you see what i was getting at? The statement was of course, ridiculous. People wonder why the Klits are bashed on, and its absurd fans coming up with statements like that one which just wind people like myself right up.
We saw what happened with a 38 yr old, inactive career weight Lewis against a peak Vitaly, Imagine what a peak Lewis would do.
According to Universum, peak Lewis broke four contracts not to fight Vitali and only did fight him when Kirk Johnson supposedly got injured. Lewis knew Vitali was the real deal and did all he could to make him wait, just as Lewis was forced himself to wait for his first superfight in 1999 at age 33. Bottom line is Lewis and Vitali are both great champions and its too bad they didn't battle it out a few years earlier. The HWT division missed out on making a lot of big money matches in the last 15 years - Bowe-Lewis, Bowe-Tyson, Tua-Tyson, Ibeabuchi-Holyfield, Ibeabuchi-Lewis, etc etc.
The version of Ali that fought Cleveland Williams would be Vitali's little *****... Cleveland had his left leg paralysed and his kidneys removed after surgery, and this was Ali's grestest ever victory according to the lovers...
Thats as stupid a comment (oft repeated by Vit teabaggers) as saying that Bruno was ahead on the cards against Lewis until he got KTFO. Get over it, he was ****ing TKO'd Or alternatively, when he was old and had absolutely nothing else to prove. Making Vit a two faced ******* proves that. Hyperbole, pure and simple
Vampire :yikes Seriously, I don't understand how anyone can support a self confessed drugs cheat like Vit Klit
atsch Vitaly has no big win you dickrider, Ali beat Liston, Frazier, and Foreman, All top 15 ATGs. Vitaly got his ass kicked by an old inactive Lewis. It was supposed to be a passing of the torch fight, young up & comer being too much for the old champ ie Marciano/Louis, Holmes/Ali, Tyson/Holmes but Vitaly couldn't beat an old out of shape Lewis, even a peak Rahman would've took the version of Lewis that Vitaly fought.
