    6'7 250lbs vs 6'2 216lbs, vitali just crushed the little guy. Your 6'0 188lb joe louis, your 5'11 206lb Joe Frazier, your 5'10 215lb mike tyson and probably even 6'3 215 ali get CRUSHED. Too much manpower, too damn strong, too long of a jab.

    I'd say if anything Adamek put up way more of a fight and lasted significantly longer than previous era's heavyweights would have. Thomasz certainly has a greater chin and ring IQ than the vast vast majority of past greats.

    vitali is a nightmare for any heavyweight in history, especially an injury free vitali

    Truth is, you make a reasonable stance (that Vitali would be too big for the likes of Frazier and Louis) an unreasonable one when you bait with things like 'Ali would be CRUSHED'


    I agree that Vitali would be too big for many of the old timers, but thinking he crushes Ali? Or cant lose to anyone that's not over 6ft? :nono

    Ali was floored by a 180lb englishman. It wasn't just a flash KD, his head banged against the canvas. If that was a VK right hand it would be a career ending K.O

    Coincidentally a 196 pound Pele Reid knocked OUT a young, skinny Vitali... As Cooper knocked down a young, skinny Ali

    :scaredas:

    All headgear does is prevent cuts, it does not cushion the blow, nor does it prevent concussions

    And let's bot forget, it was a spinning high kick, a technique that can knock out anyone in the world. A spinning kick generates 10 times more force than a punch

    Heavyweight division is horrible. Tyson mauls Vitali.
