"Pancy" isn't a word. Vitali achieved "jack ****" in your opinion? I'd say being the WBC Heavyweight Champion as well as the Ring Champion is a few degrees above jack ****. He KO'd Herbie Hide, KO'd Larry Donald, KO'd Kirk Johnson, KO'd Corrie Sanders & he KO'd Danny Williams.
Donald was what 35 years old, and donald has yet to ever reach top 10 ratings in ring magazine kirk johnson showed up at an obese 260lb about 25lb disgustingly overweight and out of shape. larry merchant was right, johnson was an "obese harpooned whale." Corrie Sanders was what 38 years old, inactive for over a year, and he showed up 10lb overweight and was huffin and puffin after 3 rounds. sanders was never that good in the first place, more of a one hit wonder. Danny Williams is C level, very average fighter. The two best fighters vitali fought, he lost too. I mean for someone that Ive heard people call one of the best heavyweights ever, he certainly did not prove himself vs a strong group of competition
Vitalis whole career is woulda coulda shoulda but didnt! people around here think he was some sort of menacing great that would have knocked out most everyone in history. unbelievable. It seems posters here attempt to rate "what could have been" over "what he actually did". which is horrible logic.
How do you think Vitali would have done against these: Carl "The Truth" Williams Floyd Patterson The man in your avatar And how do you think he will do versus Peter?
I believe notorious sack-swingers Window and Dr Z (whatever happened to him, he was a great laugh ) claimed that the cuts were caused by a headbutt, and made worse by Lewis's illegal dreadlocks and beard. Of course when he subsequently got made to look a bit of a tit, Window came back and said he was joking all along :nut
He was the last Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion. 4 years and it is still vacant. If he comes back after a 4 year layoff and smashes Peter a fighter many here have hyped to the moon it would prove that Vitali was and is a legit fighter.
The Ring grossly exaggerated their praise. He never deserved to be the Ring heavyweight champion. I'm positive that in hindsight someone there regrets that decision. And if you think he will smash Sam Peter you are in for a surprise. Even in his prime Vitlay would have struggled with Sam Peter. Remember that nobody Vitlay beat in his prime compares to Sammy. He will be entering a fight for the first time in years against an opponent far better than Sanders and a fat Johnson. And hungry as hell too. He wants Waldo and there is no better way to get to him than to beat up the brother.
Did I touch a nerve? 3 replies to the same reply by me is a little weird no? :yep The fact is Vitali beat fighters easily, by dramatic KO. He was WBC HW champion as well as The Ring Champ regardless of whether YOU personally rate his competition or not.
I love the way people here discount Vitali saying his win over Sanders "didn't count". He beat the guy to a pulp. It was for the Ring Magazine Belt and he won. End of story.
so because YOU think he did not deserve to be Ring Magazine champ he should not have been? Great logic there.
You must live in a fantasy world if you believe Peter has better skills or power than Johnson, Sanders or Williams. Kirk Johnson knocked a younger better Oleg the **** out, Peter had to settle for a ref stoppage against a much older, much slower version. Danny Williams knocked down Tyson & made him quit. Sanders was a very fast southpaw with a lot of power and his win over Wladimir is better than any win on Sammy's resumé.
