SERIOUS QUESTIONS! NO TROLLING Vitali has a good chin we can not take that away from him, but a great chin? how many fights has he been in with punchers? sanders and lewis, lewis rocked him and sanders had him backing up untill he gassed. my second question is to his more die hard fans, how is it that he can quit against byrd and not do a rm, but he gets tko6 by lewis and they want a rm? SERIOUS QUESTIONS! NO TROLLING
Sanders stunned him in the first round definitely, but he recovered well and went on to beat him down. As for Lewis, they were both gassing by the end of their fight. Both looked exhausted. But Vitali took that beautiful uppercut amazingly well. But yeah I know what you're saying, his chin has perhaps not been tested enough in order for it to be called "great", but any times he has been hit, he has coped well.
Vitali is known for taking "1 big shot" his entire career. not his fault he basically wasnt in any fights where he even got hit flush by a guy who could punch. go watch bert cooper vs holyfield...cooper took about 15 of those type upper cuts in 1 round and holyfield ripping his glove in the process of the assault... but its not cliche to brag about Berts chin because he has been knocked out a few times...
the klitschkos doesnt want to test their chins, smart boxers against byrd vitali was ahead on the scorecards, he outboxed byrd with one arm. a rematch would be nice, but kohl forced to fight wlad aganist byrd against lewis vitali was ahead on the scorecards too, but was badly cut. it was a good hw fight, everyone wanted to see the rematch(expect brittards) vitali was his own boss and wanted the rematch badly. lewis promises the rematch and retired. its history!
agreed. never know which version of cooper you would get. the mercer fight was SICK. 12 rounds of bombs. broke mercers jaw. yet a year earlier he quit after the 2nd around against foreman . heard later that he was up all night partying :rofl
I've never known a Chin be ranked so highly based off taking one punch. Vitali's Chin is more unproven then anything.
he had a weeks notice for the holyfield fight, the michael moorer fight for the wbo strap was one of my favorites.
He fought Peter and Arreola both great puncher but they didn't hit him clean. Hide hit him with a good shot.
