    The thigh slap technique :lol:.

    I am pretty sure that this is attributed to a single quote from Jim Corbett about John L Sullivan. I am also pretty sure that this is a misprint. John L doesnt slap his own thigh, he slaps his opponents thigh(and i am also sure it is only occasionally when opportunity presents itself). That is how he gets his balance correct, and it also gets his opponent to drop his hands and open himself up for the right hand.

    Did Vitali really slap his own thighs? or was this just a joke?

    That's a very poor hunch...considering Wlad has been consistently feasting on the BEST out there(Chagaev, Haye, Ibragimov, Chambers) while the only one vitali fought who was any good was Adamek.

    It's clear who the better brother is, your right. It's Wladimir Klitschko


    As far as im concerned, Wlad holds the true Ring Belt, so all the best guys will come to fight him. They won't want Vitali's WBC belt. Expect Wlad to take on Helenius, and Povetkin, the best out there.. Vitali might fight haye, but if not expect him to pick on unproven hot prospects to continue to his trend. Wlad fights the highly ranked seasoned contenders/

    Old Foreman had better accomplishments (and his comeback is more impressive).

    But Vitali would probably beat him, and Moore also, h2h.

    Yes, even at the age of 79 he beats all of the modern heavyweight (classic forum venue). Posthumously, of course.

    Vitali is the best at 40 by far!!!!!!! Vitali is the best of all of them. He would have knocked Liston out, no doubt. Foreman lost to Axel Schultz! Schultz beat the crap out of Foreman, refused to rematch Schultz! Vlad knocked Schultz out in the 8th round, first to stop him. Vitali would have easily beaten Foreman, would have sent him to the hospital...................

    Of course he was, he was the man at LW and then beat the man at HW twice. To me it is actually by far Tyson's best win.
