    Your rationale makes me cringe. I'm sorry, but it's blatantly obvious and several people have now cottoned on.

    It's good to see you back, though. I was a fan of yours and I prefer Aydamn to this new character.

    Your idiotic logic makes me cringe :risas3: shi is funny as ****. From what i can tell he was a bri ish dweeb who had a boner for Dillian "the nate robinson" Whyte and it seems like you do too based on your recent comments. Anyway if you think so whatever. Doesn't bother me if somebody from the UK thinks about me day and night

    I would be rather surprised if Vitali lost more than 2 rounds. VK wide UD

    It's close ... 50/50 from what I see ... Tuckers movement may give him the advantage and Tucker also had excellent conditioning back then in '87

    And he looked 6'4"-6'5" in his peak to whomever questioned his height ... Vitali had about 2 inches of height on him and their reach is probably the same ...

    If I had to pick I'll say Tucker via SD or on cuts ...

    Really? I do not think Vitali beat anybody as good as 87 Tucker. IMO that version of Tucker would probably have beaten the faded version of Lewis and Chris Byrd, the two men which defeated Vitali

    Vitali is 1-1 against shws.
    One being Timmo Hoffman who is Tom Swartz level.
    Vitali was more consistent but Prime Tucker was a level above in terms of pure skill.
    He'd use his reach advantage to outbox Vitali similar to how Cooney was outboxed by Holmes

    Tucker should have spepped up earlier, to bad his father was his manager.

    However, who of this list https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/7033 comes close to he H2H level of both this fighters that night?

    I say Byrd and Lewis. Yes, he has the amount of C-Level fellows, as well as volume, which should give him the edge.

    I'd have to favor the Klit by decision.
