my buddy interviewed chris byrd....when asked who the hardest puncher he faced he sad

I could've told you that. Ike knocked the braids off of Byrd. We all know Wlad is a punishing puncher as well. Vitali is an accumulation puncher. He doesn't put his hips and shoulders into his punches like Wlad does.

 

my granny interviewd briggs he told her that vitali hit harder than lewis and was quicker than him..oh wait i dreamt that briggs actually said that...wtf **** some of the guys on this forum are insane

 

How Byrd isn't in a coma from that left hook Ike landed I'll never know.

 

Shannon doesn't think Vitali hits that hard either I hear...

 

Really? Shannon said that? He was singing a different tune after the fight with Vitali during the post fight interview. Or it might have just been his brains being a little scrambled

 

Nah. I was being a smart ass. Vitali may not be the hardest puncher at HW but he is certainly effective with what he lands.

 

Definitely. He's so strong that his arm punches that he often throws are pretty concussive. But when he has actually sat down on his shots they are VERY heavy. A few of them were thrown during the Sanders fight.
