    Ok, I'll admit I was wrong.

    How come when I searched about Vitali being in the army what I found was Oleg Maskaev saying he kicked Vitali's ass in 1991 when they both were in the "Army together"? Is anyone aware of this? Was Vitali knocked out twenty years ago?

    1930's Soviet HW and legend Nikolai Korolev was a WWII hero and served in the Special Forces Motorized Infantry Brigade carrying out operations behind enemy lines.

    Tell a Russian Paratrooper you think he looks like a ***, let me know how that turns out for you.

    He was the 1995 World Military Champion.

    That's where Karmazin's "made in hell" moniker comes from.

    Vitali was a world class pro kickboxer at that time aswell as a amateur boxer. He had an injured shoulder or elbow and didn't want to make it any worse because he had a pro kickboxing match a week or two later that was alot more important so he retired due to injury after the first round i believe. Maskaev didn't KO him, it was just b.s. that Maskaev talked to try and get a fight at one point when he was no longer relevant.

    Of the black fighters, Ali was the smartest of them all, for NOT going into the white man's military.
    Of course, because of this decision, he became the greatest of them all and is the most recognized and imitated boxer throughout the entire world.
    LOL, in 1000 years Ali's myth will be like Hercules.

    There is two sides with two different stories. How are we suppose to know which to believe? Why should somone believe Klitschkos story rather than Maskaevs? Huh!!

    The only thing agreed on is that the fight lasted one round. Now we all agree about that right?

    Although these 2 have already mentioned, I'll say em again. Barney Ross and Nigel Benn are probably the most notable ones. Both actually saw combat. Nigel Benn served in the British Army during the "Troubles" in Ireland. Barness Ross served in WW2, in the Pacific theater. He was awarded the Silver Star. He was like ****ing Chuck Norris over there apparently.
