    That's not a fact, it's speculation.

    Of course he has power. But he isn't capable of generating the level of one-punch power he used to consistently produce before his comeback.

    IMO he's so aware that he's prone to hurting himself and is one injury away from retirement that he's not going to take any chances, eg. risking ****ing his shoulder up. He can still dominate without throwing with as much conviction and achieve stoppages with volume, so why risk it?

    According to the experts on ESB Vitaly has paper skin, no chin, no head movement, 0 power, no footwork, no stamina. I wonder how he even made it through the ring walk without collapsing.

    :patsch:lol: Wouldn't have stood a chance against the 200 pound FRAZIER ? would have lost to the ROPE A DOPE STRATEGY ? Would have been dropped and retired by YOUNG and koed by the same middleweight who koed NORTON right before he beat ALI ? And of cource LEON the 7 fight champ SPINKs would have destroyed him ? ect ect :yep sorry I forgot this is all a bunch of nonsence and happened in the outrageously overrated 70s . :hi:

    Exactly.

    As has been stated before. As Chef told us, right after the Briggs fight Vitali was disgusted why he couldn't KO Briggs and his team told him he was throwing arm punches without the body behind it like he used to do.

    According to Chef, Vitali said he would *work on that* and attempt to get his KO power back to where it was.

    But who knows if he really did make an effort to stop the arm punching or not. He must have thought *if it ain't broke, don't fix it*, and just kept going with his winning, arm punchign style.

    That's my take on it, anyway............

    I wouldn't go that far.

    he did nail SOlis in the top of the head, which caused him to crumble. Then he obviously hurt his knee on the way down, but a single shot was what put Solis down.

    The knee injury happened after Vitali's single, hard shot to the temple rocked Solis and sent him to the floor.
