    I did just rate Khan over Alexander but seriously...

    Did you just leave out Alexander uniting the Greek city States, conquering a Persia who had until very recently been kicking Greek ass, and his conquering of Egypt and known Africa?

    Most others would have at least tasted the canvas. Vitaly's chin has always been pure granite.

    The unification of Greek city states was accomplished by his father Philip. Look up Battle of Chaeronea.

    Egypt was then under the Achaemenid Persian Empire, so when I said he beat Persia it was automatically included.

    You would bring Phillip into this. Haters always trying to undermine Alexanders greatness the same way people undermine Phil Jacksons.

    Yes Egypt was under Persian 'rule' (Xerxes want exactly as great as his old man either, Darius right), but that's like saying I conquered England and including Scotland and Ireland just because they are under English rule.

    Hello boxed I guess what I was trying to say is his performances levels haven't noticeably changed - and of they have they've barely dropped so the claim about his age being to blame/being a big enough reason for Chisora being competetive with him is not a particularly solid argument for me - it's good that Vitali's managed to remain consistent in his performance levels as he's got older but he never really put dramatic dominant destruction jobs against anyone really - certainly not obviously for me o sit up and go "wow actually this guy could've done that to a lot of champs!!" there's been nothing stand out for me to say tho guy could've beat some of the legends of the sport
