    Trash talking before a fight is not indicative of anything. Vitali also took the fight on short notice.

    No he didn't. He had his best wins leading up to the fight, or do we use the younger version of Lewis that was getting knocked out by McCall or outboxed by Bruno, arguably lost to Mercer? Which one? I don't think he was bang in his prime but to make out that he was particularly faded is agenda driven.



    Tyson is 5'10 and was shot to pieces by that stage in his career, a walking zombie. Vitali is 6'8 with a completely different style, ******ed comparison.



    No, not really.

    Not in the context you are using the term. You seem to be of the belief that if somebody is historically significant within the sport, that they have an inherent advantage in any theoretical fights and can't lose.



    Why do all time greats do that? Does Hagler do that too? Or Sanchez? Absolutely ridiculous statement.

    Black and white has nothing to do with it, i didn't say he would beat Liston or Ali. Based upon his style and attributes, he has a very good chance of stopping Frazier and a great chance of stopping Marciano.



    Not particularly, just his style as a whole. Cooney is nothing like Vitali, apart from the fact that he was tall and white. You lack any type of objectivity.

    Another nugget! Wish they were gold, man.

    You don't know George Foreman, it's clear.

    Ali did no such thing in Round 1. Ali was a heavyweight, was punching like hell that night, and began to get to Foreman around Round 3. Contrary to you, I know my Ali and Foreman.

    :lol: Is Sanders's paltry bag with one lone trick the only way to shake up Vitali, in your view? I'm here to tell you that George Foreman's arsenal was thrice Sanders.

    You stated Jones knocked "Ali" down.

    Now you outdo yourself by saying Clay was rocked badly several times.

    You are getting ridiculous.

    Yes, he struggled to beat a no-hoper in the historical perspective and lost his title shot against the undisputed champ in the champ's last fight.

    Your perspective is ****. Good night.

    In reality, sometimes a fighter is not at his best when fighting for the title. You should be more flexible in your thinking instead of trying to fit everything into neat little categories like this. And what does this even have to do with anything? You're acting as if Vitali was supposed beat Lewis easily because Lewis was "out of shape" (by 3 pounds) and "overconfident". And that since he didn't that means he would lose to Foreman. No, that's not the way it works. Styles make fights, not your sentimental bull****. Lewis and Foreman are far too different for you make a comparison like this.

    No, I am right and you are wrong. Vitali's KO percentage is 87% now, it has declined recently. Before his first retirement, Vitali's overall KO percentage was 91.89% but 34 of 35 wins, or 97%, were by stoppage. And again, Foreman fought a **** load of cruiserweight bums that Vitali did not fight.

    What right hands? Sanders caught Vitali with a flush left hand counter. What does this have to do with Foreman? You seem to think you can cut-and-paste Foreman in for Sanders, and I'm telling you that you can't.

    That is the one time in the fight that Vitali was in a bit of trouble. You're out of your mind if you think this discredits Vitali in any way.
