All I see is a sad and desperate old man trying to applaud the village idiots of the forum. That is the joke! Don't you think who hit who the hardest is relaxant and Purrity's answer would be very interesting? Yes or No? And when I say yes or no, you RUN because the answer confirms I'm correct. What say you?! Dino thinks Vitali was a bum, Please do agree with him! Herol never liked the Klitschkos. He hated them would be more accurate, same as you. I get it, there are lots of anti Klitschko posters here. Please copy and paste their posts so the rest of us will laugh.
"stood up to" - always read the post you are replying to, Mendy. Lewis cut Vitali up like a surgeon so we never got to see if Vits would take his continued power. Peter probably did hit harder than retired Sanders, he was prime after all the only difference is that Sanders could catch opponents more IF they were untrained to face southpaws.
you dont have Puritty opinion, so how were you making a point supporting Vitalis power? Answer - You werent. Why are you claiming that you have a point from someones opinion when you DONT have their opinion? Why would you interpret me saying the results were both TKOS, as "me saying they were not TKOs". LOL you got the exact opposite meaning of the words written.... u do need to tone down claiming a point when you dont have one, true.
you dont have Puritty opinion so you have no case. 2nd time u r being told. Next you'll be telling us you ouiji boarded Sanders last night and he told u Vitali was hardest puncher ever.
I'm not sad, I'm riding the crest of a wave right now! Still laughing about you saying Charley Mitchell's win over 59years old 7 years retired Jem,[ or as you called him Jim, ] Mace was a noteworthy scalp! That and you proffering Jim Flynn as a suitable title challenger for Dempsey in1920 and doing so on the grounds it would have been good for him to avenge his loss in1917,not knowing Dempsey blew him out in1 rd in1918! you couldn't make it up! lol Sad? I'm like a dog with two tails at the moment! Relaxant? Is this some sort of medication? Are you taking it? It would explain your posts!
I also question if he suffered injuries through out his career and modified his style for it .. certainly in his comeback he fought differently .. either way from a H2H standpoint he was a top ten heavyweight ... huge, strong, well conditioned, very smart, terrific chin, good speed, a very tough match up ..
Hey Mendo, Levi Bilups fought Lewis when he was prime, of course he went the distance then. Vitali fought a near 40 year old Levi on Levi's 8 streak retirement loss ...he was obviously brought in to fall down and sing praise for his retirement cheques. retiring near 40 Levi Billupss who fell down in 2. .... 50 year old Witherspoon koed old Levi in 1....so HE HAD BETTER POWER THAN LEWIS N FOREMAN TOO! ahahaha.
I have the other opinions. Briggs, Williams, and Billups. The common theme is they all said Vitali either hit them the hardest or in once case tied with Tyson. You have got nada.
Lewis could hit in 1992. In the same year he blitzed and destroyed Ruddock at age 27. Maybe you should stop and think before posting, otherwise your points won't look so good if I'm reading them. Now, do you wish to retract that Lewis could not hard in 1992? Lewis was close enough to his prime by 1992. Don't forget Lewis participated in two Olympics. He was an advanced prospect. Nothing was wrong with his power, he just could not put Bilups away.
do you seriously want to be told AGAIN how old Briggs and Billups were. You should be asking you why on earth Vitali was facing these corpses if he was some legendary fighter you tihnk he is. but no....
why have u even started writing this paragraph?? noones said lewis cant hit. You gotta stop interpreting posts as the opposite of their meaning. What is going on in your head man?
Whut?? This is [a punch every 1 - 1.5 seconds]/[round], or 1000 to 2000 punches inside 10 rounds.... Where does that come from? This remains to be seen....
1-no deal. Foreman had power but it faded compared to his younger self. Even the 45 year old foreman who won the title hit harder. Notice he went from terrifying slugger to conservative boxer/puncher and started going thr distance in his last couple fights? His arms were still strong obviously but at 50 his coordination/snap/shifting weight/everything that goes into delivering a punch are pretty much shot or halfway down the drain at that age. Literally the only things keeping foreman relevant was his incredible chin, experience, size, and name recognition. At 50 He was no longer an "athlete", just a tough old guy with a sharp mind. You didnt address what I said about briggs circling around foreman and not engaging him while Vitali teed off on Briggs all night. His perception of who hits harder was certainly affected by this, wouldn't you agree? 2-if you honestly think tyson's power against danny was comparable to his power in the 80's go ask anyone else in the forum and let me know what they think! The fact he didnt blast out a european level c class fighter in 3 rounds should tell you his power wasnt the same, past his prime or not. Tyson used to effortlesly mow down guys who were even more skilled than williams (see his fights with tubbs, spinx, etc). And of course vitali retained his power better than a near 40 year old Tyson, that's common sense! 3-but we have tons of examples of that. Leanard Bundu went the distance with Keith thurman and Errol Spence brutally stopped him. He said Thurman hit harder. We can't take every fighter's statement as gospel when it's convenient and ignore the on screen results! This is a guy who lost to a 49 year old bugner and stopped in round 1 by tim Witherspoon. He was 37 when he fought Vitali and had more than 10 losses. You sure this is the guy you want to use as proof of vitali's power and that he hit harder than Lewis? Respond very carefully. 4-that's not my problem. For all we know a prime Vitali without injuries hit harder than any other boxer ever, but we have no way of proving that since most of his opposition in his prime was horrible. All we can go off isnhis actual performance. The fact of the matter is what we SAW of Vitali was that he was a tall skilled fighter who used volume and strong arms to club and wear his opponents out. If he hit harder than wladmir his results would be very different. Think about it: -wladmir did not like taking risks and fought a very cautious style yet he's the one who has a highlight reel of explosive dynamic knockouts -vitali was a very brave, aggresive fighter who took risks because of his height and granite chin yet many of his KO's were referee or cut stoppages. 5-Wladmir wasnt the same fighter when he was younger. He vastly improved his technique, leverage, timing, sharpness, etc. Maybe when he was still learning Universum was doing mitt work for them and vitali happened to be making loudwr sounds. Its not about my word vs his. There are many factors you have to look at when determining who hit harder. Results is one of them. Since you bringing up Peter, how about the fact Wladmir dropped Byrd twice in their 1st fight and kod him in their 2nd and Vitali couldnt even drop him?
