So Vitali is an ATG I hear you Klitschko fans shriek and Scream...yet has fought the like of Sosnowski....who has went on to lose 3 of his next 6 fights and draw one of them against a bum with a 22-61-4 record he struggles with a euro level fighter like chisora....he was practically begging the bell to go after the 12th, another round and del boy would've had him on the canvas drooling like gary glitter in a playground!!
Again with this? Every day we get the same thread. Vitali ATG? No he isn't. Good yes,handful of good fights yes. Not top 10. He's top 30.
Is it vitalis fault he fought sosnowski or sosnowskis poor form since not really no.He has fought lewis,sanders,hide,arreola,solis,Peter,k Johnson,Briggs,adamek basically who ever was there, he has hardly lost a round in the last few years apart from del boy fight where he looked his age.you can dismiss his lack of opponents but not how he dealt with them
Vitali was wobbling all over the ring...terrified of one more of those del boy right hands, one more round and it would have been TKO13, to add to TKO6
It's not Vitalis fault that the comp. in his era was dog **** but at the same time u cant reward him for it. NO he's not an ATG. Don't like it? Eat a dick.
The old man is still there and nobody is really challenging him.. except Haye but he's only ranked #6 by the wbc.
This is a similar excuse which the Calzaghe fans espouse: they say Jeff Lacy's series of losses after Calzaghe beat him means nothing, as he was mentally broken after Joe put the slaps on him. Similar situation with Vitali-Sos.
