Lewis was great but he was knocked out twice by single shots and ran away from the sport, the great Vitali was never even rocked or ran from anyone. The great Vitali who is wbc eternal world champion as of this month. A singular honour. Show respect maggot. Doff your cap to the only eternal champ.
Vitali ran into retirement to avoid Hasim Rahman. wbc eternal world champion is a joke and anybody who takes it seriously is a bigger joke
Purrity was pulled out by his own corner, was not a doctor stoppage. Watch the fight. Was taking a beating and had a swollen eye. No big cut.
Great post. I like watching Joshua fight (who wouldn't?) and hold the same reservations. Many more questions to be answered. Placing him in mythical matchups is a waste of time. Easy to criticise his record but for a guy with 18 fights, it's ok. Having a title welcomes a more in depth look at a guys record though, as it should. But he's moving up in April. If WK has even 60% of what he once had, is in shape and mentally prepared then he will ask some questions.
No respect as I suspected. And he'd a serious knee and shoulder problem that stopped him taking on Rahman. You think the great Vitali would have walked away from his biggest career purse to avoid Rahman? Your trolling hits new depths. I hope you catch one from Price or Okolie soon.
I did. He was pulled out by his corner man because he couldn't see out his left eye and was being battered.
I respect Vitali for who he was.. Not for who you want him to be. The great Vitali put old man Briggs into hospital and didn't pay him a DIME for the fight. NOTHING. He bottled it from Rahman, Haye and Stiverne amongst a host of others.. He came back when the coast was clear against the biggest bum of the post Lewis era.
You simply lack visual capability then and clearly dont know how the sport works in getting the right opponents with the right number of fights,you would never make it as a manager ,i can assure you that if you think Joshua opponents were poorly picked . lol You dont have anything on me btw it seems and POTENTIAL is what you use along with performance to make an educated guess not if a fighter struggles against another, if you cant see that by now than its on you . Looking at your argument is illogical bc only TWO boxers are capable of being on his level ,one is Wlad the other stylistically Haye ,so you would be unsatisfied anyway no matter who he defeats . If Klitchko wins you woud be the first to lable Joshua another gassed body builder when in fact it will show how great Klitchko actually is ,theres a fine line bein biased with painting negativity which you do and giving solid counter arguments ,see ya after Apr. !
It's probably best leaving it here as we're not going to enjoy a meeting of minds, I'm afraid. This whole debate is about assessing skill-sets in context. And I've assessed yours... in context.
Yeah his record after 18 fights is fine. His resume at that stage trumps Wilder's for example. It's just the bar is being set very high for AJ so questions remain. The funny thing is, he'd say that himself. He seems pretty grounded to me and not one to get ahead of himself. Roll on April!
Purity was 6'3 250 plus ...Fury wouldn't have the chin to take those shots ,he was not tough like Purity who best assett was his chin ,so no the weaker punching less chin Fury falls to that Wlad . I have a feeling you did bet on boxing and probably live in a friends basement and use a lap top bc you lost everything from betting ,you are the worst poster in internet history . lol
