Putting Vitalis POWER into perspective for the FAN BOYS

starting off on the right foot.
i like both klitschos..Wlad more. I think they are the best of the 2000's
but the 2000's have been a very weak era. not their fault.
only reason for this thread is that the vitali fan boys, who just started watching boxing in the 2000's think he has some kind of bonecrushing power because he has a high and misleading ko % with some ranking him as high as the 6th best heavyweight..EVER :rofl
most of his easy kos came in his first 30 fights...against horrible competition...people like to point out that about Tyson, but tyson did all that in his first 18 months....and he was 18-19 years old. big difference. Tyson won the same green belt vitali has right now when he was all of 20 years old...stopping the then champ Berbick in the 2nd round. Vitali has fought in 7 WBC Title matches and never got rid of anyone before round 8.

heres a look at his POWER in the 2000's

from 2000-2010

vital has fought 14 times

6 guys made it to rds 11,12
2 guys 10 rds
2 guys 9 rounds
3 guys 8 rds
stopped by lewis in 6
stopped johnson in 2
stopped cruiserweight orlin norris in 1 back in 2000


so in 10 years....a guy that 6 foot 7 and 245 pounds....has stopped 2 guys before the 8th round...so im gonna go out on the limb and say his power is overrated

but when you hear the fantasy matchups and the fanboys say
Vitali KOs Holyfield in 4 or 5 rounds atsch
Vitali kos Tyson in 6 atsch
Vitali kos Holmes in 8 atsch

yeah...larry donald , ross purity and Vaughn Bean go 11 rounds with him...but hes knocking out every all time great hes matched up against

that is all :good

 

the point was...in the title of the thread....because 90% of vitali fans think his some kind of deadly puncher...did you miss that part??

yeah, youre right bro...he went 12 rounds with bonecrusher smith when he was 21 years old and for a heavyweight unification fight not Vaughn ****ing Bean. he also knocked out his #1 contenders in the first round like carl williams, michael spinks, destroyed other guys who had never been stopped biggs (7 rds), tubbs (2 rds). first one to KO larry holmes and yes 1988...but holmes fought to the year 2000 and Tyson was the only guy to stop , so that says alot.
Tillis was first guy to take him 10...but by that time, tyson had 18 straight knockouts, most in 3 rounds or less. so the guy stayed away like the plaque...oh yeah, tyson was 19 years old...shame on him....
not comparing tyson to vitali, comparing what a guy with awesome 1 punch power to a guy that is huge and has average power for a guy his size. yet people look at the ko % and think vitali is the stronger puncher.

 

not to mention..among tysons kos, he has fought against 10 or 11 legit former or current heavyweight champions . i think vitali has maybe 2..... lewis and chris byrd (and they arent among his ko victims)
which translates to alot better opponents when you factor in who vitali has kod compared to tysons hit list

 

yeah....thats his "one" early knock out in the 2000's where he looked bad ass...thanks for helping my point
