Iron chinned, world class athlete who has never been down, only lost due to injury, and has never even been behind on the cards...........Also won the title back after four years being out of the game and two surgeries..........COLD with no tuneups.....Which was unprecedented in heavyweight history. ..............Vitali is an alltime great, most certainly.
Only because he's an old man of 41, but I still take Vitali to put a world of pain on Haye. :thumbsup
Vitali has never been knocked down. Some say Sanders knocked him down. Others say he was pushed. The fact is that the action was not ruled as a KD. He did quit against Chris Byrd, after dominating him for many rounds. And it wasn't a KD. Greatest chin ever at HW? Probably Chuvalo and McCall were better. But Vitali is Top3 or Top5.
