Vitali's resume is pretty weak but Wlad's actually got some good names to be fair. Chagaev, Haye, Povetkin, Pulev...
You can't really count the Solis fight. Solis suffered a serious knee injury. Sure, Vitali won but it was in freak circumstances.
wow impressive that sanders a failure when prime in his own Lewis era, becomes no2 HW vitalis best opponent and killer of the number 1 HW in seconds when hes 37/38 shot2sht retired. this must surely hurt the kliitaards serially, its a truth they cant escape.
Sanders and Peter for sure. The two that gave Wlad trouble were beaten very easily by Vitali. You could argue JC Gomez belongs over Adamek. Gomez was 44-1 when he meet Vitali having quality wins from Oliver McCall, Vlad Virchs, and Denis Bakhtov in the three fights before. Gomez also defeated Diefiabon, and Sinan Sam. He was a big mobile boxer in shape when he meet Vitali. Vitali had to make an early adjustment in tactics to win.
