Vitali wouldnt last 3 rounds against a prime tyson, Foreman, and Ali

You can put me down as one of the older guys who thinks the present day heavies are ****,but really you do have to take the Klitschko's seriously. You can't discount these guys even though most of their fights are the equivalent of watching paint dry.It's not just their size,it's the fact that in particular regarding their strengths they are good at what they do.Wlad although more vulnerable in the chin department is a talented fighter,he's no Primo Carnera but ally that talent to his size and you have a serious proposition.Vitali on the other hand although less talented as he's proven is a tough S.O.B. When you have a 6'7" 17 stone plus guy who has a rock solid chin and isn't particularily going anywhere,then i would suggest you have a problem whoever you are. I was like a lot on here in dissing these guys,but you have to give credit where it's due.

 

Of coarse he wasn`t he just slipped on a banana skin.

 

Use your brain.

 

He was hurt in my opinion but not badly, there was no panic in the corner, he had all his senses, holding on and blocking shots. It depends on your definition of "hurt badly." Its no shame being hurt by a puncher like saunders, the challenge is taking the shots, buying time and clearing the head imo

 

Foreman couldn't even walk through the smallish but very elusive boxer Jimmy Young. In fact he lost that fight. Ali out-thought him and dominated him in their Manilla encounter. Foreman would be facing a bigger and stronger fighter with, unlike himself, phenomenal endurance and who also possesses a tremendous chin and two-fisted power. Vitali takes over late in the fight and an exhausted Foreman breaks like he did so often in his career against elites. Vitali spanks the diminuative, mentally weak Tyson and probably loses to prime Ali.

 

when your defense is as bad as vitali's, he'd probably get stopped within three rounds due to the severe punishment from ali's lightning quick punches. vitali doesn't have the speed, agility, or even power to trouble a prime ali. its a horrible mismatch

 

wow, really?? because vitali has faced SO many fighters with skills of a prime ali, right??atsch. typical flawed klit boy logic

 

yes, because we all know that vitali has faced fighters with the speed, head movement, and power of tyson, give me a break. the only thing vitali has on tyson is size, thats it. he's too stationary, too slow, and only throws two punches: a a jab and a straight right. how many times would vitali throw that without getting countered with a leaping left hook from tyson???

 

vitali's level is beating chris arreola, sam peter, and struggling with a feather fisted kevin johnson, wow! all of these fighters would get brutally knocked out within five from tyson.

 

This right here sums it up. Vitali doesn't see round 3.

 

boxingcar, just because he doesn't knock everyone out within the first or second round deosn't mean he's completely incapable of knocking out klitschko in early rounds either. going by that logic, he shouldn't have knocked spinks out in the first since spinks was head and shoulders above any of the fighters you've just named. big george went through hell with alex stewart, yet tyson brutalized him the first round, now why is that?? after all, foreman is the better puncher and the bigger guy?? do you see where im getting at? do you see the ever so prevelant flaws in your argument?

 

Freakin unbelievable, Defense as bad as Vitali's? Dude he hardly ever gets hit. He uses his height like prime Ali did back when 6 foot 3 inches was a very tall heavyweight boxer. Like Ali, Vitali leans away from punches which often miss by an inch or two. And this is fighting guys who are 6 foot 4 inches tall with hundreds of amatuer victories like Gomez. Vit also employed that lean back and counter hard against the very quickfisted and powerful heavy Kirk Johnson who had just slaughtered Maskeev. Vit buried Johnson and Gomez. You seem a rather articulate poster but you need to do some research. Vitali has all the markings of a great all-time heavyweight. Two-fisted power, iron-chin, phenomenal discipline and work-ethic and a willingness to take on all-comers. He also has great genetic advantages over his opponents as did Ali back in the sixties. He is both tall and athletic with long arms and quick reflexes for such a big man.
