    Average weight of Vitali in his fights since his comeback: 248.4lbs
    Average weight of his opponents: 240.4lbs.

    That's 8lbs or 3% difference. In percentage terms it would be like Froch fighting 163lb fighters...

    I went through this with him but he does point out the large fat percentage difference between he and his opponents. :lol: Which I cannot argue.

    Actually, it is not like this. Alot of his opponent are in fact heavier. It is not that size that makes him so dominant. Valuev or Julius Long, or Ustinov, or Orlov (the list is basically quite long) are even taller but not so successful.

    No, because most of those guys are fat lazy *******s, so if they had the same body fat percentage as Vitali, they would be a lot lighter than him.

    Thank you for being reasonable and noting this, sometimes I think people just won't ever budge from their initial position, no matter how wrong headed it is.

    Let's look at Chris Arreola, if he lost 30 pounds(by getting in shape in an orderly fashion) and fought at 225 pounds, he would be a much better fighter than he is at a fatso 255+ pounds.
