    Vitali often looks awkward and uncoordinated.

    Yes, and if he fought in the 1930s, he'd be cited by some people here as PROOF that heavyweights couldn't box for **** in that era.

    You may get something extra from him now ;) Dinner and dance at "Chez Velvet" behind the old dumpster at Walmart.

    Vitali is ridiculously overrated. His skills were no better than say Joe Bugner or Jerrie Coatzee!

    I don't think he was as skillful as Bugner.
    Bigger and stronger though, and more consistently determined.

    Coetzee was a better puncher than both. But chinnier too.

    I guess they all sit around the same level.

    Right. Only thing Vitali was very tall and knew how use his size to hos advantage. He knew how to control the range too. But as far as pure skills, I am not too impressed either, so I see what you are saying.

    Yes, I moved the decimal point over 2 places to the right, which is far less than the 1% you claimed. So?

    Um, Marshal, Ali and Martin had no inside game, and they defeated Liston. One broke his jaw, the other two knocked him out.

    I didn't claim anything. I used what 1% means as an example to illustrate how far off you were.
    And you took my advice and recalculated.
    I helped you correct your mistake.
    And all you done since is be a complete ass about it.

    Bermane Stiverne easily beat Arroela who is the best guy Vitali beat who was prime

    Vitlai beat the best version of him, and took his " 0 " Arreola didn't win a round vs Vitali.

    Stiverne took Arreola the distance and lost some rounds.

    Why even attempt to compare the two?

    You the only one who " thinks " Arreola was the best Vitali beat, and I'll leave it at that.

    No, the Arroela who fought Vitali was a fat undisciplined slob who trained on tacos.
    Will I present you with those links again that say he had the "work ethic of a slug" ?

    When Arroela fought Stiverne he was in much better shape. He trained harder and was more moviated.
    Stiverne broke his nose and face in fight one and stopped him in fight two.
    The prime was beaten out of him by Stiverne who went on to get completely dominated by Wilder.

    Vitalu had a C level resume at best.

    His highest ranking win was a washed up bloated mess of Sam Peters. Lol

    Now who the **** is Arreola? What did he accomplish?
