You didn't hit a nerve, everyone laughed at it atsch Tough SOB's don't quit on their stool against feather fists.
I'm surprised with your comment: "everyone is laughing at you" maybe it's you that has the problem.. why are you such a follower of the ATG greats that weren't so great after all? Vitali kicks their ass with all due respect. Why are you threatened by the prospect of Vitali being an all-time top 5 ATG is beyond me.
what are u ******ed vitali might not even be the best heavyweight of today and its a poor diision so to consider him an ATG at all is nieve but caling him top 5 is metal ******ation at its best
He did quit on his stool, but you and I know that there was no braver man that night .. He did the right thing.
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl So it's braver for VITLAY to quit on his stool with a sore arm than it was for Byrd to keep going in a fight he was losing in? I remember the hellish abuse the VITLAY lovers gave Peter for quitting against him after having the **** beaten out of him for 8 rounds, was that justified? I'd love to see VITLAY show the kind of heart that you need to take that kind of beating and keep coming - unfortunately he only had the opportunity to do it twice, and both times he failed - MISERABLY. No other ATG HW has such tiny stones, NONE.
F/W can you please post again, un-emotiontally? Most times you make great points! Sometimes we all goof. I realize you are not a Vitali fan. Regards.
It's time for yor refresher class.. This is what I have been saying all along..there's too much ingnorance on this board! deal
No emotion in there whatsoever, just the truth. If you can point out a fight where VITLAY has shown tremendous heart, then feel free to do so. The Lewis one is an obvious example I suppose but he only lost 2-3 rounds max in that fight yet looked like **** and got pulled out before he ended up disabled. Saying he showed heart in the Byrd fight is nonsense, and you know it.
I never saw the Byrd fight, but I think he would have won the fight hands down-except for injury. This is were I think it makes sense--a torn rotator can be career ending. Vitali knew it-- Do you really think Byrd had a chance?
That's the usual Klitschko argument...."ah but he'd have won but for..." Doesn't matter what I think, the fact is Byrd won because VITLAY quit. That to me shows lack of heart, several fighters have had similar or worse injuries yet fought on to hear the final bell despite knowing they'd lose. All VITLAY had to do was stay upright for 2 rounds and he'd have won a decision, might have been close after 12 but he'd have won....yet he chose to quit. No heart. Also VITLAY did NOT know he had a torn rotator cuff in that ring, all he knew was that his shoulder hurt.....too much :yep
i love vitali but a good chunk of this is true. he quit and i have seen guys with severe injuries fight on. do i know how much it hurt? no. I've never been in that situation so i can't say i'd do anything different. but of all the many great qualities vitali has, his heart is the one that can be questioned (though he did a lot of good with lewis loss)
VITLAY showed heart V Lewis yes, but as I said before he only took a 2 round beating in that fight, from an over the hill debatable top 5 ATG heavy. Suggesting that he could take what prime ATG's could dish out is stretching it a bit in my opinion.
i agree:good h2h, vitali is maybe top 20 based on his chin. Ring actually did a really good article on it this month and showed a pretty objective opinion of him. who beats some, loses to others. but honestly, vitali hasn't beaten nearly enough elite opposition to warrant too many comparisons yet
sorry, i just dont have a thing for stiff, upright, clumsy, and timid heavyweights. what you see in the klitschko to make you think is an atg is beyond me. maybe its drug induced, which would explain your idiotic posts. and everyone IS laughing you, including the SANE klitschko fans. denial, not very healthy. but is common amongst the fanatical kli-tites.
