If not for injuries, would Vitali have become an ATG?

    man...this guy was such an animal. after the byrd loss something clicked and vitali became a different fighter. he fought with spite and ferocity like Tyson possessing tremendous physical gifts, size, two-fisted power, iron chin, smart, tremendous counter-puncher. injuries robbed us of an atg

    im not delusional, he probably wont make it back but c'mon vitali...do it 1 more time and send Peter and his donkey punching ass back to the booby hatch . if u got to shoot up, do it. don't they test u after the fight? :D

    some great moments

    Vitali was the Internation world amateur boxing champion. World Military Champion, six time kick boxing champion, both pro and amateur.

    Ever seen Vitali fight as a kickboxer? Totally awesome.

    If he is only at 50%, he will knock Peter out.

    vitali had more will power and heart than wlad, but less physical attributes but not by much.

    Yeah, but that is a BIG if. Lots of fighters have "what ifs"

    Without back and shoulder injuries, and starting professional boxing a little before and with a good trainer, definitely top 5 material of the last 25 years.

    true but vitali seems to stick out the most at least in recent hw history...vitali had accomplished quite a bit already unlike many other 'what if' cases

    If you haven't seen Vitali fight as a kickboxer, you need to watch. Unbelievable!

    At one time Vitali would fight a kickboxing fight, then fight a boxing match! He loves to fight, even when he did it for free.

    For sure...a real warrior inside the ring with iron fists and an iron chin and outside a very smart person. He lost against Lennox (which is another ATG), but personally for me that doesn't mean that Vitali was less good. I hope he'll be half as good as he was when he fights Peter. If he is as good as he was, Peter will be his victim.
