I think anything other than this is denial. Johnson is an ATG and the greater of the two in their relative eras, but head to head he gets well beaten.
Prime Johnson would completely outclass vitali. Old johnson still takes him the difference. We're talking a gulf in class here.
Does Johnson get to take Vitali's steroids? Either the ones he got caught with or the fast clearing ones he's using now
Come on let's have it right vitali is less proven than his brother (who will be remembered as an atg heavyweight) but vitali had them 4 years out and never beat the best guys he's fought. His best victory is probably sam peter.
The fact that a 37 year old Johnson was in front after 22rds against a giant in Willard ,gives me some hope that a prime Johnson would handle the robot.
Yeah he could go 20 rounds due to the fact there was unlimited tying up back then. Nobody from Johnson's era or before it could beat Vitali. It's as ******ed as saying Tom Finney is as good as Messi.
??? Vitali has never tested positive as a pro. Johnson could pick his own judges here, and even opt to fouling. Its still a bad stylistic match up for Johnson, and an utter mis-match. He is going to lose badly.:deal
good lord Johnson would get mauled here his clinching and holding style would not do a bit of good against Klitschko. If Johnson tried to engage he would get stopped or if he jabbed and grabbed he would get out boxed. Bad bad style match up here.
Important point right there, VITLAY is a known roider. I get the feeling Johnson wouldn't be picking teeth from his glove at the end of this one, just fragments of Klitschko glass :deal
Yes, because a) Vitali has tested positive so many times b) Vitali has such a tender beard and c) Johnson was able to KO such giants as Marvin Hart, Jack OBrien and Joe Choynski.
1. He tested positive once, that's enough to label him as a cheat. 2. His beard is crap, he was on rubber legs against old man Lewis and went down against even older man Sanders. What other notable punchers has he faced? None is the answer. 3. Racism.
