    Mendoza once said on here that Lewis was more marked up after the fight than Vitali!

    Mendoza also once said it was tape that caused the cut! The response to that is of course which cut?There were four!

    no he didnt. you need to discern between "what you hear" and "what is said"

    the only pattern yu'd ever have got with vitali is if he stepped up more often, he'd get his head torn off each time.

    Some of his title defences were absolute jokes.

    his best defences are an absolute joke. corrie sanders, a retired nobody? sam peter, a 6 round fighter.

    Was that really his fault though? Apart from his brother, which leading contenders could he have fought at the time that he made those defences but ducked?

    I will give him this, at least he had the guts to get in the ring with actual champ Lewis, unlike wladdie.

    though somehow wladdie got more guts in the tail end of his career and vitali petered out with some exceptionally sad excuse defences.

    When he was either the WBO or WBC champion the following fighters were ranked.
    Chambers
    Boytzov
    Tyson
    Tua
    Maskaev
    Jefferson
    Grant
    Lewis
    Holyfield
    Golota
    Ibeabuchi
    Chagaev
    Ibragimov
    Povetkin
    Dimitrenko
    Adamek
    Valuev
    Haye
    Chambers
    Toney
    Oquendo
    Brewster
    Barrett
    Ruiz
    Pulev
    Helenius

    Even allowing for the overlap where his brother fought some of them you would have expected him to meet at least a few of them.Instead we got defences against :
    Ed Mahone
    Albert Sosnowski
    Manuel Charr
    Danny Williams
    Carlos Gomez
    Odlanier Solis
    Kevin Johnson
    Ancient Shannon Briggs
    Obed Sullivan
