    Poor guy was drooling, never saw Vitali do that to "Killer" Chris Byrd with his shots, too bad KO percentages are everything :nut

    It's all about quality of opposition.

    There are literally 100's of HW's right now who have a 100% KO percentage simply because they haven't stepped up their competiton level yet.

    It's all about quality of opposition. He wasn't KD against Lewis or Byrd, but he was damaged so much that he was unable to continue.

    Yes he has, but again that's all about quality of opposition.



    NOTHING SPECIAL. :deal

    See that's the argument that always ****s these morons up....if VITLAY retired Lewis by losing to him then surely Williams retired VITLAY, using the same criteria???

    Oh of course, Danny wasn't ahead on the cards when he was stopped :nut :nut :nut

    He never had a face that looked like a fat girls used tampon either though :deal

    Waldomir already deserves more respect than Vitlay at this point, never seen any fighter as overrated and overhyped as Vitali. There are guys out there who say he takes a 'wide decision' over Ali :rofl

    :good I like watching both Klitschko brothers because they are skilled and powerful, but there many HW that could have KOed every opponent Vitali has ever beat. :good

    There are two extreme camps re: Vitali and both are equally misguided. He would have lost probably every round to Ali. Hes' not an ATG. A good number of past fighters would have beaten him (Louis, Foreman, Holmes, Marciano, Frazier, Tyson, Liston....all probably beat him)

    On the other hand, there are those ( yourself and Fightingweight for example) who denigrate his notable accomplishments and rate him as a bum, or nothing special.

    Both groups are wrong.
    He is very over-rated by some, and very under-rated by others.

    The truth is in between.

    He was top dog for a time, and head-to-head, a difficult fight for any hw ever.

    "personally know" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: so you actually believe in seeing into the future?? Crowd at ringside thought they were robbed, because they could see Vitali winning in the 7th!

    At 12 you think you're growed up :lol: :lol: :lol: what other reason is there for such hatred of Vitali with you and Drexl other than he made Lewis look very ordinary and only won through an injury (meaning indecisively) and the fact that Vit is a white man :huh

    My problem with VK is that he did not beat one top tier fighter. He most likely would have beaten other top guys--or the other champs--but thinking he would do it and actually doing it are 2 different things

    Got to agree, but he only quit through injury. Perhaps he can get up again in his comeback, providing he fights often. The lay-off is a worry though.
