Vitali's resume may be a little weak but some of his feats are actually amazing

Exactly, and Lewis was clearly landing the harder, more damaging blows.

 

Vitaly showed no sign of injury in his fight with Byrd, he used both hands to throw at Byrd, however he wasn´t landing clean, cause Byrd made him miss a lot and after the 3rd round the fight was pretty competitive, no matter what the scorecards tell. I´m not even sold on that injury, but if there was one, it didn´t stop Vitaly of using his hand. However the countless times he hit air instead of Byrd did frustrate the hell out of Vitaly. When the fight began, Vitaly was stalking Byrd, in the later rounds it was Byrd chasing Vitaly, making the giant stumbling backwards.

It was dinfinately not the easy beating you talk about.

There was a reason why he let his brother avenge his loss.

 

Yet Vitali was the one with blood all over his face.

 

If you bring up the crowd, maybe you should rewatch the fight. Cause of course, as the Klitschkos were based in Germany, this was a pro Klitschko crowd. However when Byrd made Klitschko stumbling backwards, he won over the crowd and they applauded his actions. At the end they were cheering for him. Unlike the judges and you and maybe HBO, they saw that it was a competitive bout (at least after the 3rd round).

 

when it dawns on you klittards that you've been conned into believing Vits was some ATG, its going to drive you lot to suicide all the effort, money and time you pissed away that you could have spent doing any number of things.

10 wasted years arguing tko6....

Lewis refused to rematch the fight he was losing and retired after the threat of sanctioning body to strip him. He forfeited lineal title to Vitali.

 

One of Vitali's 3 or so best victories is over Tomasz Adamek. And THEN there is a further dropoff in competition...

His resume is way weaker than his record, on paper feats, and title defense might indicate.

 

Vitali is extremely underrated..............

 

No way ! You have to earn that title, you cannot win it by defeat. What a joke it would be.

 

He´s overrated through his effort in a loss.

 

That´s just laughable. With the exception of Solis, these were at best fringe contenders. Solis unfortuntaly never lived up to his potential.
Vitaly was just lucky to fight in a very weak era.

 

He simply not is, he never unified, he never fought his biggest threat (his brother, eventhough i think he would´ve beaten him).

 

Vitali is effective that's for sure
