    *Sigh*

    1-Briggs spent the majority of the fight with foreman on the outside, who was FIFTY YEARS OLD. I wonder how hard a 50 year old Vitali hits? When Briggs fought Vitali he literally stood there and got pummeled over and over by flush shots yet he never went down.

    2-again, Tyson was washed up and had very little speed or snap on his punches. Danny Williams thinking he can accurately get a feel for Tysons power is like Leon Spinx thinking he can accurately get q feel for Ali's speed.

    3-Who cares about Levi Billups? Is he Chauncey Billups unssuccesful cousin? He was stopped 10x in his career and couldn't even beat a 49 year old Joe Bugner! He was 37 and had lost several of his previous fights when he fought Vitali and that's an indication of punching power tp you?

    Tim witherspoon stopped Billups in 1 round, which is faster than Vitali. So I guess Tim witherspoon hits harder than Vitali? Lennox Lewis kod Briggs who went the distance with Vitali. ABC logic doesnt always work in boxing.

    4-no, you must be smoking thay good stuff if you think Vitali hit harder than Wladmir. First of all they were 2 different types of punchers and you should know that if youre a die hard klitschko fan. Vitali was a heavy handed arm puncher but he had good technique and lots of stamina so he wore his opponents out through volume. Wladmir was a sharp shooter with explosive power and cut the lights out with one or 2 hits usually.

    Because wladmir fought peter with a survival mindset. Backing up, grabbing, etc. Vitali was on a seek and destroy mission.

    This tells me you clearly dont understand how styles can affect fights.

    well since the best power he stood up to was sam peter, we know sam had good powwer, so a good chin is about right.

    excellent is possible but not fully proven.

    incfedible is frekin ridiculous, but then its you writing it.

    wlad had to fight in fear of being koed by a nobody again.

    Vitali has good chin, he didnt need too, he'd been stopping bums like peter all his career without getting koed like wlad had many times.

    its interesting that you moan about lewis cutting vitali but -

    YOU ARE HAPPY TO CLAIM VITALI KOED PURITTY WHEN IT WAS A CUTS STOPPAGE.


    ANother Mendoza argument debunked.

    Its true he he did stop the 35 year old journeyman Donald, who always fought to survive. This is indeed a true claim to great power.

    The gall of you to demand people keep it factual when you then go and post this.

    At what point in round one was Peter rocked the same as he was by Wlad in the 12th round?

    Let me answer for you.. He wasn't rocked at any point during the first round.

    He was knocked off balance a few times , that was due to his terrible footwork.

    His head was turned a few times , that was due to being hit by a 250lb giant.

    He was never once hurt or "rocked" despite Vitali landing punch after punch after punch flush on his head.

    Peter was all over the place when Wlad caught him with that left hook. His legs turned to jelly and he was ready to go.

    Jameel MaCline hurt Peter worse than Vitali when he dropped him 3 times in the early rounds.

    Vitali couldn't even hurt Peter with 100's of clean punches.

    God Forbid what Robert Helenius would have done to Peter if he landed as many punches , cos a single hook from him absolutely flat-lined Peters.

    Vitali was a weak hitter. Fact. His chin is also overrated. It was never tested outside ONE fight. FACT.

    LOL, Ed Mahone ? Is that VK's best win?

    I watched Ed Live in La a few times when he came up.........I do not want to call a pro fighter a bum but he was a local club fighter and that is being generous.

    Fact: TKO6 is VK's best "win", period.

    So you think Peter his harder than Lewis or Sanders who landed their punches on Vitali? Is this what you're saying? Clarification is needed, as I don't think Peter hit as hard as either.

    Yeah, he thinks Peter hit harder than Lewis or Sanders. Funny stuff.

    Do you think Peter hit harder than either?

    No fool, Purity fought a lot of punchers. As such who he thinks hit him the hardest is interesting. Got it?

    As for a stoppage loss, are you saying Vitali's lost to Lewis, up 4-2 on all cards due to cuts is not a TKO?

    This board can be great or a joke.

    Since you know a bit more than Herol, I can spend some time with you as you're much more likely to get it.

    1 ) Foreman could always hit. However hard you think it was, he thinks Vitali hit harder. Deal?

    2 ) Tyson, even in his older years could also still hit. He nailed Williams and did it before he gassed in round one/ Watch the fight. Williams said Tyson and Vitali hit equals hard, but Vitali retains his power better.

    3 ) Asking a fighter who hit him the hardest is reliant and has NOTHING to do with what round he was stopped in. Billups thinks Vitali hit harder than Lewis or Witherspoon. His Opinion.

    4 ) I think Wlad hit harder on the championship level due to technique and placement like you said. However Vitali had shoulder, leg and back injuries to overcome during his championship days which cost him.

    Universum said early on Vitali hit harder. Since then managed both, I think their opinion is far more valid than yours. Yes-- I am aware how styles can make fights. Watch round one of Vitali vs Peter, doesn't he buckle his knees and rock him? That would be a yes. If not round one, then very early in the fight. Wlad landed plenty on Peter too, and failed to do this until the 12th round. So based on the same guy, Vitali's punches had more effect.
