    What if Vitali never took up boxing, and instead stayed in kickboxing? How would he have done?

    He'd have got handled, badly. Pele Reid sparked him clean out! If that was Ignashov, Hoost etc Vitali would be done for.

    Had no lower leg defense and REGION where he comes from and the format he would have been competing at he would never have developed strong enough checking. I would a heap of tier 1 K1 competitor over VK - his only real chance is the three round format which may be too short to stop him over one fight. Never win a tournament though - legs wouldn't carry him.

    Yep. VK had a point-fighting style. He never sat down on anything.
