    How will you remember Vitaly, and how will you tell your kids and grandkids about him?

    One of the top heavyweights of my youth. Intelligent boxer with great reflexes, anticipation and a heavy right.

    But also as a steriod cheater, hypocrite and liar who quit against a small man who couldnt hurt him.

    Not someone I would have my kids look up too.

    Big, tough, awkward heavyweight who come to fight but fell short in the biggest fight of his career against an ageing Great champion.

    Iron chinned and skilled but with questionable willpower, who dominated in a weak era but fell short early in his career against a past prime Lennox Lewis

    He will be remembered as a top heavyweight. Also, remembered for Chisora sending him into retirement.

    The guy who would of whipped Lewis whether he was in his prime or not.

    Lewis is lucky he can cling to his.....I was past prime & underprepared mantra. It aint a coincidence to me that Vitali went onto establish himself as a formidable HW. This suggest to me he was on Lewis's level irrespective of Lewis age/preparation.

    Vitali will not enter ring again unless it is to beat-down puny American Heavyweight.

    That as much as I didn't want to dislike him,his spastic,neurotic fangirls made it impossible to relate to him.
    And that he lost to the best heavyweight of his era by a sixth round TKO.
