How would Vitali fare against Ali's resume

No one. **** all. Vitali is basically Jess Willard 2.0.

 

the perfect response. :good

 

prime4prime beats all of em.

but considering the fact that he would not have the luxury of figthing all of'em in his prime. maybe he would get a loss or a draw here and there.

 

[/quote]Who has Vitali fought and beat to suggest he would beat any of the suggested fighters?[/quote]

the same can be said for dempsey and holmes but they are still classified as atgs and rightly so

Yes.

 

:nono

During vitali's era let's say since 99:

Lewis beat holyfield (x2) botha, grant, tua, rahman, tyson, vitali. That's every hw champ from 97-04.

Wlad has beaten byrd (x2) peter (x2) brock, iggy, brewster, rahman, chambers, thompson, chagaev, haye. That's a comprehensive clean out of the division with victories over 7 titleholders from 05 onwards. Plus wlad has established himself as the premiere hw since 06. That's 6 years running.

Vitali beat hide, donald, johnson sanders, williams, peter, arreola, gomez and briggs. His run from 03-04 was pretty damn good but injury stopped him going further. Since his comeback he's done enough to keep him second but nowhere near enough to overtake wlad.

So in the last 13 years he's been top of the tree for 1 year (like byrd). Meanwhile lewis was there for 5, wlad for 6.

Within his own era he's been the number 3.

 

The only thing I'll say is that Liston/Vitali would be a staredown for the ages.

 

I wouldnt bet my money against vitali.. Back then guys were smaller so you also have to take that in to consideration it would be interesting to see Ali vs klitschko or Forman vs klitschko but yea

 

some good points...

I think a consideration of possible timeline has to be made.

 

In what world does Vitali TKO Ali, i just cant see it.

 

You guys are crazy. Vitali's entire career is put firmly into perspective by his loss against a faded Lennox Lewis. Jesus....

 

he Ali of the holmes fight would surely get tko'd by Vitali.

 

That faded, fat Lewis would have destroyed all of Ali's opposition inside 8 rounds without losing a round himself.
