His best 'win' is against Lennox Lewis. He was winning on the scorecards, had Lewis hurt before Lewis got lucky with the cut stoppage. Too bad Lewis did not have the courage to give Vitali the rematch that everyone wanted except Lewis.
Vitali is like Tyson, not the best resume's but would give every heavyweight champion in history problems.
Chisora beat Kevin Johnson on 15th Feb 2014 by UD according to boxrec and I'm certain I watched the fight.
its a loss then. after 11 years, its always been. you should be thankful it went to nothing more than the stoppage or vits might never have been more than a blind beggar in the Ukraine. And wlads reign would have been ended 10 years ago, destroyed in seconds and put into hiding by a 37 year old nobody retiree with no brother to face sanders for him. but no, you actually want a blind vits and a nothing wlad. stop being so cruel.
Be that as it may, surely Hide should be rated higher than Charr - who's beaten no one of note and was dominated by both Vitali and Povetkin on the way to TKO/KO losses, and while Hide was crush by Vitali he at least his own against Bowe before being stopped - and Kevin Johnson - who, lets face it, is just fodder for heavyweights looking to boost their own resume with a somewhat recognizable name and who only attempts to survive every fight instead of win them - at the least. Unlike them he did actually accomplish something as a heavyweight on the world stage. All things considered I dont really think Chisora could be considered better than him either. They're about the same size, have about the same reach, Chisora slightly heavier in his prime than Hide was, Hide the better boxer with more power but Chisora the more durable with better stamina. I wouldn't say there's all that much between them.
How do you get "lucky" with a cut that requires 60+ stitches? You have ZERO idea of how bad a cut like that is.
I rewatched the Hide/Bowe fight today. I had forgotten how much trouble Hide gave Bowe before his chin gave out. He was boxing circles around Bowe in the first 2 rounds and then had Bowe hurt in the 3rd before the weird knockdown. Even in the 4th while hurt he was landing bombs on Bowe and had him in some difficulty.
