    You need to go back and watch Frazier then. Not saying he didnt get hit. Your gonna get hit with that style but Joe had some of the best head movement of any HW period

    Not even a question ... I'd say he was the best defensive swarmer of the heavyweight champs and did so with handicapped vision most of his career ..

    Not my point. My point is that Vitali was much more difficult to punch than Frazier even if it was due being 6'7 and doing things like standing tall then pulling straight back.

    Vitali fought to the verge of collapse trying to keep Chisora off him , that's what happened. He may have won most of the rounds but they were all close and he got a harder than expected fight

    Remember also that Chisora slapped him and spat water in his brothers face during the build- up. Vitali probably felt let down for failing to punish Chisora which is why he made post- fight excuses.

    Going back into camp for Charr soon after kinda proves he hadn't suffered from any injury.
