    Didn't deserve it??? do you see who gets title shots these days??? how didn't he?? how monte barret get a title shot vs valuev?? how did holyfield get a title shot vs iggy and valuev?? how did haye get a title shot?? sonowski?? ruiz multiple times?? Vitali was the champion. he came out of retirement and won back what was his. its not that complicated

    So basically you're ignoring the fact that his opposition has been terrible. Yes he has been incredibly unfortunate with injuries which have robbed him of four or so years, but such is life. He can't be labelled an ATG on the basis of what could've of been.

    And he wasn't dominating Lewis - he was ahead on points.

    I see somebody doesn't understand the difference between a fighter choosing a patsy or undeserving contender as a voluntary, in order to make an easy defence, and and an organisation insisting that their champ fight a man who had been retired for four years.

    Don't try to jusitify the WBC awarding Vitali 'emeritus' status. You'll only come across as a nuthugger.

    vtali is at the end of his career, you think he is going to fight 3-4 of those guys... those are the fighters of the future. all would lose to Vitali

    Actually, you are coming across as yet another British **** with a chip on their shoulder, hating the Klits and sucking on Haye's dick.

    ****ing worst thing that ever happened to these forums.

    Really? Even though I conceded Haye was a paper titlist? Not the sharpest tool are we?

    Can you point out one factually incorrect statement i've made? Or are you just incensed that i've had the temerity to join the ranks of those who are unimpressed with Vitali's achievements?

    Let me spell it out for you. I think a prime Vitali would demolish Haye. I actually think the current version would still stand a great chance. But he's not an ATG.

    So **** you, you needlessly aggressive ****. And don't call me British either.

    He beat another ATG in Sosnowski.

    OH WAIT.

    Good fighter, owns a small part of the HW championship. BUT, **** resume, lost to the only good name he fought.

    Since he has been champ for so long, and he is 1 of 2 K-Bros, he/they will get shoved into the HOF anyway, but there are much more deserving fighters that are not in yet lets be honest. Solid hall of famer, not an HW ATG though IMO.

    The worst thing that ever happened to these fourms is having judgemental ****s like you categorising people.

    Vitali is no all time great and if Atlas is right and he fights Briggs next he will be exposed!

    Good list. How come these ballerinas are mentioned on a boxing site though?

    vitqli is not an ATG because he hasnt earned it yet. he quit on his stool vs chris byrd for crying out loud, that prevents anyone becoming atg by default!
