Wlad didn't have any belts between 2004 and 2005. Between 2008 and 2011 there was still another title holder. You can also say he didn't want to...
I would say Vitali is overrated. His best wins are Sanders and Peter, his resume is weak, he lost 2 out of 4 his biggest fights, and some people...
Ezzard Charles, Larry Holmes, Chris Byrd, Wladimir Klitschko.
Foreman, since he was still the man who beat the man. No one had a better claim than him.
John L Sullivan Jack Johnson Joe Louis Muhammad Ali Larry Holmes
Vitali wanted no parts of Byrd.
You brought up the stupid "Briedis gave Usyk hell" argument in the first place tho...
Tyson favouritism may be a nostalgia bias as well. If Tillis almost drawed with prime Mike Tyson and Buster Douglas beat him, imagine what Usyk...
Plus he picked second and third tier heavyweights to defend his belt against, leaving top contenders to Wlad. Funnilly enough, before he hung up...
Yeah, Vitali had a glass body, while Wlad had a glass jaw.
Stylistic nightmare for Usyk for sure.
Vitali doesn't have power to bother Usyk, plus he would be easier to hit due to keeping his hands below his hips.
He postponed the fight twice due to his injuries and then got injured again and retired.
21 months later to be exact. If someone would want to be unfair, they could say he ducked Hasim Rahman, lol.
I personally thought Jim wasn't that good on Friday. It was nice to hear him, but you could also hear his age and the "commentary rust".
