Not sure but vitali had one of the best chins I've ever seen and I've been watching boxing for 15 years
For me having a good chin means taking a shot without being hurt. Ali certainly could take a shot but he was hurt many times. He was able to get up and win fights because he recovered fast. Again, we have not seen Vitali hurt. I understand everyone's reasoning on here that Ali faced better punchers (I believe that is debatable, he certainly faced better fighters). But at the end of the day, one guy was hurt and dropped numerous times and the other was not.
Comparing Ali to either Klitscho is like comparing the actual Giza Pyramids to Las Vegas's Luxor. They are world's apart and are of vastly different quality and precision.
Its not rocket science. VK has never been down, Ali was. It is garbage to claim Ali faced far more fearsome punchers than Vitali has, because I can assure you neither Doug Jones, or Henry Cooper were world class punchers. So all the idiot Yanktards, just stfu with your nationalistic garbage.
Get the **** out of here with bull**** talk like that, Put Vitali in with prime Lyle, SHavers, Foreman, Frazier, try and see through Vitalis record and see if there are any remotely as great punchers there.... You Klit fans make me puke....:deal
Vitali has met two good punchers, Lewis and Sanders, both gave him hell, one almost peeled his face skin off...Ali faced worldclass puncher after worldclass puncher thoughout his career..You really cant compare these two.....
You can't compare the two because the only opponent of Ali's that would have a chance in the modern HW division is Foreman ... all the other bums on Ali's record would be fighting at cruiserweight or be nothing more than journeymen.
The very small heavyweight Henry Cooper had Ali out of his feet, so Angelo Dundee cut Ali's glove to give him time to recover...........
Shavers never KOed any of the better fighters he fought. And he had a Glass Jaw. Vitali would destroy him.
