This content is protected 6 foot 5 or taller, noone in history would even come close to this guy. Let us not forget how rare it is to have someone as big as he is, and still be as great of a fighter as he is. Great reflexes, overall boxing skill, impressive speed, power, solid chin................... Fighters this big are always somewhat lacking in one or more areas of the sweet science. Not in this case. It'll be a long, long time, before we ever see another heavyweight of Vitali's size, be even close to being as good as he is. If ever. :good
even though i rate him higher than lennox lewis alot have it the other way around and its a reasonable argument. Wlads there too, along with Jess Willard
You rate Vitali higher than Lennox? Go suck a ****en dick u ******. THAT IS COMPLETE BULL**** WHO IN THE **** WOULD RATE VITALI HIGHER THAN LENNOX.
Vitali is a good fighter but has some serious deficiency, technically and fundamentally. His defense is awful - his lean forward lean back style would be exposed by any legit HW. A good fighter, but for someone as big as he is it's disgraceful that after getting doubled jab he turned around and ran away from Chris Arreola. A HW that big turning and running from a man of that caliber. That certainly will never happen again. Lewis is clearly better than Vitali.
atsch Vitali is NOT that good, he is a mediocre guy fighting in the worst HW division ever, FFS an old, inactive shot Lewis was able to beat a PRIME Vitali. He was also stopped by Byrd, and don't give me the BS about his shoulder, Holifield at 41 tore his rotator cuff fighting Byrd in the 2nd round and nearly KO'd him in the last round, Vitali quit because he ran out of gas. Sorry but he just isn't that good.
Lewis better than Vitali?? It's other way around. I can't see Vitali getting ko'd by rahman or Mc Call. When they fought each ohter, Lewis got gift of them stopping fight.
I love the way he neglects to mention the head to head with Lewis in which Vitali's eye was turned into a vagina by Lennox's fists. Instead he focuses on Rahman and McCall.
nah Vitali in his prime was: 1. forced to quit by feather-fisted Byrd after running out of gas. 2. Got his ass handed to him by an old, inactive shot fighter. 3. Was nearly KTFO by a 38 yr old golfer who didn't even bother to train for the fight.
I also cant see Lewis quitting against Chris Byrd. Klitschko can never have a resume close to Lewis'. Ruddock, Bruno, Morrison, McCall, Tucker, Tua, Mercer, Golota, Akinwande, Briggs, Holyfield, Botha, Tyson, Rahman........ oh and Klitschko himself.
yea he is damn good! Too bad his brother isn't in the same category...This guy makes Wlad look like a little *****
