Of the last 40 years, does anyone besides LL have a chance to beat Vitaly?

...FOREMAN is in my top 5 but if I remember he got spanked pretty good by the all time great Jimmy Young..........Vitali would give Foreman a run for his money !

 

Your a joke. I've probably got more education than you have years on this earth for christ's sake. As for reading, start writing something intelligent and maybe you'll get an ounce of respect. You're trying to justify Vitali's boxing skills because he outboxed a 37 year old out of shape great, and was up by one round, (I know you'll have trouble understanding this part because it's a one round swing), sorry if that doesn't impress me the way it does you. So had Lewis won the first round, which was essentially a feeling out round, the score would have been tied. Big deal.

That said, I give Vitali prop's for being a good tough skilled fighter that's difficult to beat, but more on a general level, than my being impressed with how he did against Lewis. Moorer was outboxing Foreman too, until he got hit and was KO'd.

Does that mean I'm suppose to be impressed by the fact he was winning before that happened?

Maybe it impresses you, but it doesn't do a damn thing for me.

And take your ****** comments you like to use so much and shove them up where the sun don't shine. And stop being a jerk off.

Converse in a normal respectfull manner, or take a hike.

 

My a joke? What's a Vitali prop? And what do you give to it? Start making sense, dude! Maybe you mean you give Vitaly props? (lose the apostrophe)
You earlier wrote: "Answer: Check Boxrec if you're not sure about the outcome of the fight!"
If you knew how to read, you would have realized that I never put the outcome of the fight in doubt, so I'm not sure what you were answering to.

The reason I called you ****** is because you don't seem to understand what "mentally deficient" means. You're the one who accused me of absurd logic, telling me "for ****[']s sake, live with the result" and "deal with it".

Point is, people in this discussion claim that so-and-so would breeze through Vitaly as if he were a rag doll. His career suggests otherwise, since he lost very few rounds, even against such a good boxer as Lennox Lewis. You now attempt to diminish that by calling Lewis a " 37 year old out of shape". He hadn't just woken up from a coma. He didn't lose his skills, didn't forget his tactics and 37 is not THAT old. I'm not saying he was at his peak, but they didn't push him in a wheelchair to the ring.

 

Far enough on a couple of points. I agree that Vitali would be a tough fight for anyone and is often under-rated. From my perspective his win against Vitali was one of the more impressive wins in his career.

 

I apologize for overreacting and calling you names.
It's just frustrating that my original message was misconstrued to mean something else than what I said and that I was attacked on that basis.
However, I understand how sometimes, a quick reading of a post on an often-debated topic can lead to skipping some subtle, yet important nuances.
Again, sorry for overreacting.

 

My point was that even with Vitali being cut, Lewis was obviously losing the fight. If it had gone another round, two tops, Lewis would have been done for.

Yes, I obviously know Lewis won the TKO due to the cut, but he certainly wasn't the better man in the fight.

Also, as close as it was, there should have been a rematch. Lewis wanted no part of Vitali after he had a taste.

Lewis was a candya$$ champion.

 

In case you forgot it was Vitali who started eating Lewis' uppercuts one after another at the end of the fight, and no matter who was leading at the scorecards the things didn't look good for him.

I think Sanders had good chance to beat Vitali. Styles makes fights, and if his old and undertrained version gave Vitali everything he could handle one can only imagine what could've happened few years earlier.

 

Vit is overrated when Haye knocks him out all of this nonsense will end as Haye will never be an ATG either will Vit or Wlad.
