    You are mistaken. He could fight on the inside. Watch the Sanders or Lewis fights you'll see uppercuts and body shots.

    Based on common opponents faced, Vitlai > Holyfield. All four of them.

    Vitali was 40 too. No one stopped him. No one put him down. He was such as good boxer that no man every won more than three rounds on a card. Holy was also in serious trouble vs Bert Cooper! The ref helped him out with a count and slower than normal return to action. Hoy looked terrible vs Vaughn Bean, a fighter Vitali blew away.

    1-1 vs Moorer shows his level

    1-4 vs Lewis and Bowe ( not counting the BS draw ) shows how he does vs the skilled super heavies, and Bowe was not what some would call top 10 all time great at heavy.

    Going 1-1-1 vs Ruiz is more of a stain than resume builder. Vitali at the same age Holyfield was would have pounded Ruiz.

    We get if you don't like Vitali. I just have the facts more on my side. But, but, but he beat Tyson is coming via a reply. Yeah the post prison Tyson.

    Nether would offer the re-match. He lost both fights due to injures when he way ahead on points, and don't give me the oh he quit vs Byrd story, Holyfield quickly gave up in his corner one round after being cut by Sherman!

    Do you really think Vitali would be 1-1-1 vs Ruiz, or 1-1 vs Moorer? Or in trouble vs Bert Cooper.? I already showed you vs common opponents, Vitali was better vs Bean and Donald by a good margin.

    Evander was the better fighter overall but I’ll take Klitschko by decision

    Again what is Vitali’s best win? You are delusional to me degree.And by the way, prime Moorer and Bowe beat Vitali in my opinion.Your posts are so long but there is very little substance.Some of the points are not even worth addressing

    Vitali is 0-2 against the two best opponents he fought. And lol@ at Vitali stopping a prime Holyfield when Lewis couldn't even get a drop on a past prime Holyfield over 24 rounds.
    You only argue who you want to win , not who you think would win.

    You're a liar. Show me footage of Vitali landing uppercuts on Lewis. The footage shows Vitali hopelessly incompetent on the inside against a sluggish and past prime Lewis.

    This is one I would probably play the odds because Vitali would be the underdog but he would be very live in my mind. Depending on where the odds end up, I could lay a lot on him. He's very consistent while Vander wasn't. Vitali certainly has the tools and ability to win a decision here.

    He was consistent when the opponents were C-level plodders. He was consistent in losing when the opponent was close to Holyfields level.

    Sanders, who beat Prime Wlad. Holyfield never beat anyone as good.

    Vitali fought many top ranked contenders and beat them convincingly. Meanwhile Holyfield struggled several times vs different men. He wasn't as good as you are making him out to be and I already scored points by saying Vitali did far better vs common opponents if you bothered to read my reply. I don't seeing you say that's not so.

    The fact that you think Moorer who clearly beat Holyfield would beat Vitali is hilarious.Its a very bad match up for Moorer. Moorer was a good boxer, taking a punch was not this thing and he was too small, like Holyfield to match up. Sure Moorer who was hardly by hit by old Foreman until round 10 and when he was took the count would beat Vitali. You're out of your mind. Moorer was poor vs punchers. Tua Ko'd him in 1. Cooper unranked nearly KO'd him too. He barely edged Vaughn Bean ( Vitali won all but one round and KO'd him ) and won a very close one vs the legendary Alex Shultz.

    Do me a favor and tell me if you think Vitali would beat the following fighters:

    Bowe
    Moorer
    Ruiz
    Toney
    Donald

    The Slavophobe makes his voice heard.

    And the world responds with profound indifference.

    I feel like that tall herky-jerky style of vitali could give holyfield fits. I think evander is the better fighter with the better resume but vitali controlled distance with such an awkward style I'm not too sure of the outcome. If evander can get inside and stay inside I think he can win. Either way , great fight.

    Holyfield beat Buster Douglas who had just caused one of , if not the biggest upset in history. Thats a better win than Sanders win over Wlad.
    Holyfield beat Rahman who beat Sanders

    Foreman is a better win than Sam Peter
    Riddick Bowe is a better win than Chris Arroela
    Mike Tyson is a better win than Herbie Hide
    Ray Mercer >> Danny Williams


    But Holyfield never beat anybody as good?? :risas3:
