    Go watch David Haye and drool over his 11.8 punches per round output Brittard.

    He looked pretty knackered vs Chisora?

    You clearly did not see the mans s&c coach just say he has no stamina issues, I'm fairly sure he knows how old he is

    I can respect that, but I still judge on what I see. I'm not saying he can't do it because he is a well conditioned professional, but if he were to be in those same situations it MAY be a different story. We both know sparring isn't the same as an actual fight. Top notch fighters like Vits bring in guys so they can get work in. Being in a tough fight against a true challenge is far different.

    :good

    Great to hear Vitali change his training and trains like Wlad. So Vitali seems to realize the training was false in the past. Good move from him.:hi:

    Foreman is a bad example considering he was never a 15 round fighter. How about Johnson-Willard?

    Is that impressive? What round did he hurt his arm and go on to beat a 17 fight novice? He hurt his arm against Byrd and quit and never tried to rematch. So what is impressive about this?

    Vitali always seemed to breathe heavily after a couple rounds. He opens his mouth and breathes through that and some commentators take that as an indication he's gassing out. I've seen him gasp for air with an open mouth in several fights and he still was able to up his punch output seemingly at will, see e.g. in the Gomez after round 4-5.

    Considering Vitali is 40+ I think there's nothing wrong with his stamina.

    Considering Vittles is 40+ I see nothing wrong with his stamina either. But lets at least touch on the points I have made since that is what you're obviously refering to. :nono

    I don't even have to try, that's what is sad about debating with a nuthugger. Now how about answering the questions? :yep

    You want me to comment on your theory that Vitali's punch output is inversely correlated to the quality of his opposition?

    Never thought about that. It's an interesting theory, would be great if you could substantiate it with hard data, e.g. Compubox stats showing he throws less punches than average vs. better fighters.
