    I find that talking to walls is far more productive.

    Vitali's presence didn't harm Wlad's legacy, but his absence definitely enhanced it. That's my honest opinion. Who knows what Wlad's resume would look like now, had Vitali remained active.

    You can say that Vitali beat mediocre opposition, but what great fighter has Wlad ever beaten?

    Again, I think they beat roughly the same level of opposition, but Wlad just beat more of them.

    Chris Byrd and Alexander Povetkin are probably more accomplished heavyweights than anyone on Vitali's win list if truth be told. But like yourself I don't think the quality of their opposition is leagues apart. The main difference between the two of them is that Wlad has fought a larger list of opponents who were of the same or similar caliber and over a longer period of time. That, and the stakes were usually higher due to lineage or some other title being on the line.

    Ask Danny Williams - who fought and won with his whole arm dangling about out of socket.

    Injuries in boxing are as common as lubing the face. You fight through them to win.

    I agree entirely.

    It's just a shame we never saw a Byrd rematch with Vitali, as well as one against Lennox.

    Go to page 4, post number 59 from Latineg. Then read from there.

    A very interesting account.

    Yes, and not even a full one. I couldn't image using the arm in a boxing match.

    That's what I thought..and from what I know from medical college, it's debilitating...you can't use the arm, plus the pain and risk of not being to properly defend yourself equals disaster. Besides, I think Vitali more than acquitted himself from that ridiculous "quitter" charge by soaking up everything that Lewis threw at him in their bout. VK walked through some hellacious shots. Lewis would have beheaded just about any heavy that night. Vitali had one of the best chins...and capacity to absorb body punches of anyone I've ever seen...including Ali....Vitali wasn't against the ropes using them as a shock absorber.

    Yes, but, TKO6 :roll:

    I think coming off a 4 year layoff to face the champion at an age when most other boxers have retired, or should be retired ... and winning hands-down, speaks for itself. Ring rust is real.

    I AM confused, after reading your post. Evidently there's a key piece of information missing. In English, please?

    You MORON.

    He is talking about Vitali coming back after almost 4 years and beating Sam Peter for the WBC belt.

    Yet again your hatred of all things Klitchko and your haste to disparage everything about them has allowed you to prove what you truly are.

    A know nothing muppet.:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
