    As Vitali's fan boys will overrate and over hype him forever. I thought that it could be eye opening to list how many CURRENT active boxers(many who aren't even HOFers), who has better single wins than this supposed "H2H beast", "HOFer", "ATG".

    I'll just start with one in each division down to Welterweight:
    Wladimir
    Hernandez
    Pascal
    Kessler
    Martinez
    Bradley

    Saul Alvarez
    Danny Garcia

    And that's without trying to think.

    Ah, right when I quote you, you fixed it!

    I was going to say, "take it back or good luck explaining yourself!"

    I hate saying it, but the troll two posts down makes a great point. Alvarez?!?!?! Hell ****ing no.

    What is "h2hbeast"? I get the other rubbish as hall of fame and all time great but not h2h beast.

    Head to head. If they fought directly.

    Example: "How would a H2H match between Vitali and Jack Johnson play out?"

    Alvarez beat a past prime ATG though:good

    Let us be real here. Vitali does have three strong wins. In descending order of greatness, to me:

    '04 W TKO8 Corrie Sanders (39-2)
    '08 W RTD8 Samuel Peter (30-1)
    '11 W TKO10 Tomasz Adamek (44-1)

    Sanders win is better than most out there...

    ;)

    I don't wanna turn this into Alvarez talk or anything at all, but just wanna chime in that I seem to value that the tiniest bit more than your average person on here does, who treat it like it hurts ones' legacy.

    Your obviously unfamiliar with my style of posting(although there's no particular reason why you should be familiar with it)

    But as I said,he beat a past prime HOFr, which means he's in.

    You can see from Nonito's post that I edited my original list and Corrie was on it.
    But with all due respect,Corrie's certainly not "current" hence my edit.:good

    Sanders was a little overweight and over a year inactive because of Klitschko mind games. His best win and it's a good one at best.

    Eh, Peter was terribly out of shape for that Vitali fight but not an awful name. Adamek was never really a compelling force at HW besides his win over Arreola.

    I know, you can nitpick anything. Good/alright wins, but I wouldn't call them strong one.
