He also LOST to Norton, who was a bag of shite. Vitali was beating Byrd handily before his shoulder gave way. Get real.
Norton was a bag of ****? Yeah not even close. You know nothing about boxing junior. One of the dumbest thing said on ESB in a long time. Norton was WBC world champion. He beat Ali,he was part of a great fight with Larry Holmes! Holmes-Norton is ranked as the 10th-greatest heavyweight fight of all time by Monte D. Cox, a member of the International Boxing Research Organization). The 1998 holiday issue of The Ring ranked Norton #22 among "The 50 Greatest Heavyweights of All Time." Norton received the Boxing Writers Association of America J. Niel trophy for "Fighter of the Year" in 1977. You=******
#1 this isn't about Wlad #2 Wlad wouldnt beat Ali. Could he hurt Ali? Sure. Could he drop him? sure. Would he beat Ali? no. Ali by mid rounds TKO.
knock knock who there? Euro Euro who? Euro *** wlad is good but come on, we're talking about the jab master ali
#1 I made it about Wlad suck on it #2 Wlad has a very good chance against Ali IMO. His foot speed is tremendous. Fast hands as well. His punching power is incredible. If it went 12 rds Wlad could win by decision or KO. Over 15 rds it favors Ali more and more. I dont see how Vitali beats Ali he doesnt have Wlad's athleticism
Everyone who has fought him comments on his unbelievable footspeed. Most comment on how deceptively fast his hands are. The guy is 6'6 1/2 and weights 245 and moves in the ring more effectivley than many cruiserweights. Does he have Ali athleticism? No Is he one of the more athletic HW's ever? Yes Name 5 accomplished HW;s with more? I will try. Ali, Tyson (maybe), Patterson (maybe), Langford??
Footspeed? he is probably a 15 second 100m runner probably maybe slower. In fact if he was to do athletics he would be at best a shot putter. he is in shape and looks after himself well but lets face it next to many HW's almost anyone who is not obese or a rail looks athletic
Well come on now, he WAS a good fighter. A damn good one. But I do think Vitali would beat him by a decision most likely. Ali had a good chin, very good, so I don't see Vitali stopping him. I just think Vitali's height, range, skills, and toughness would get him the win v.s Ali.
**** these fantasy fights. You'll never REALLY know who'll win at the top level because there's too many factors to consider
