Vitali H2H top 10 HW ATG?

I think Joe Louis would beat him to a pulp. As would most of my top ten.

I'd favour Vitali to beat Marciano, possibly Liston, possibly Frazier. Probably Tunney. But in terms of the bigger ATG's (prime Lewis, Prime Holyfield, Prime Tyson, Prime Ali, Prime Louis, Prime Holmes) I can't see him beating them.

The opponents he has beaten prove little to nothing in the grand scheme of things. And not being able to spark the out of shape and underprepared Lewis that Rahman sparked says a lot for his much vaunted 'power'. The mans an arm puncher.

 

Agree 100%. You'll probably get called a hater, but only by the nuthuggers:good

 

He might make the top 20 (much higher than his bro) but there are way to many guys in the past that could stand in there with them both and could out box and tough them . . . are you serious about Razor? This guy stood in there with Tyson for 2 wars that basically ruined both of them. When I see them (the Kbros) box all I can see is a couple of slow lumbering sloppy sloths . . . yes they look great compared to todays Heavyweights, but that is todays heavyweights!

 

Even if you hate Vitali, you have to concede he would give _ANY_ prime HW ATG a tough fight. I don't see Ali, Foreman or Holmes simply walking through Vitali without even breaking a sweat. They'd have to give their very very best. They may end up winning, but it would feel like to hell and back for most of them.

 

wow, if anyone didnt know who vitali was they would think hes a HW version of pernell whittaker by the way you describe him. for one thing he's not this brilliant counter puncher you make him out to be nor is he a master class tactician, because most of his competition consist of crude fat sluggers who stand right in front of vitali waiting to get punched. you dont need to be a muhammad ali, larry holmes, or lennox lewis to beat the guys vitali has beaten. for one thing, his upright, straight punching style would play right into a pressure fighters regime like riddick bowes. vitali wouldnt be able to handle that type of pressure as shown in the corrie sanders fight. he can give the contenders such as norton, cooney, and MAYBE shavers a good run for their money. but as for the big names?? he gets thrashed. BADLY.

 

Arreola, who in the Fukc is Arreola, he could not wipe Ruddock A$$. Yes the KBros are very intelligent but that does not make either one great fighters. you make him sound like he is the heavyweight version of PBF or Sweet Pete. Hell if he any of the very good fighters of the old days fought todays bums they would like PBF as well. To be fair it is not his fault that he lives in the worst era of heavyweight boxing. I really cannot see anything special about the bros.

 

He wasn't shot (lewis) but was no where near prime, timing, reflexes and he was slow and ponderous yet he still won.

A prime Lewis would of knocked vitali out, i think lewis would of knocked him out in the next couple of rounds anyway the way th fight was progressing.

Vitali is a good fighter but i can't put him in the top 10 based on a loss to a passed his prime atg.

In fact that is almost laughable basing an atg ranking on a loss and some b class competiton, yes vitali givs people fits but apart from the lewis loss whats his best win against a a level heavy ?

**** if you rank him top 10 what does that make rahman or mccall they actualy won :huh

 

You have to be brain-damaged to argue **** like this. "Prime Bowe" (whose "prime" lasted like 10 minutes, not spanning a complete fight) would get raped from a prime Vitali. You know, the guy that annihilated Hide in slightly over one round, who made it much longer vs. Bowe. It's the delight of stupid ass clowns to call a Vitali with combined 20 hours of surgery to his shoulder, spine and one knee "prime", because he lost to Lewis at that time from cuts in a fight he dominated.

Lennox would rank higher in a H2H list than Vitali, but not enough boxers to get him out of the top 10. Wlad is an entirely different case because he can't fight through heavy artillery coming back.

 

I wouldnt say his skin is that prone to cuts. I dont remember seeing him with cuts before though he doesnt get hit much but every now and then he does.

Lewis cut him with a grazing shot when he was holding and hitting on the inside. He is accurate too and kept landing on it to make it worse and keep it open in the following rounds. So freak accident but I would not expect that to happen often or for the opponent to be able to work it like Lennox did.

 

trevor berbick beat muhammad ali

kevin mcbride beat mike tyson

whats your point?

wlad destroyed ray mercer who was 42 years old at the time? schults? schults struggle with a 45 year old george foreman....
its when you fights a guy not just the guys name on the resume.

at the same time, wlad was destroyed by a nobody in corrie sanders.
