Who has Vitali beaten?

Basically yes

 

I would read this again. Good post.

 

No he hasn't, Tyson was undisputed, has wins over world HW champs In Spinks, Bruno, Holmes, Berbick, Thomas, and Tucker, and had a neat 4 year reign of dominance winng 11 staight title bouts in the 80s. Vitali has NEVER been the best HW, not even for even 1 year, yet these clithuggers get on here after he beat some euro-tomato can and wanna compare him to real ATGs, while putting down legit ATGs, completely ridiculous.

 

people ***** about the klitschkos being boring. which is understandable. But they are the only thing keeping the HW divisions pulse beating right now. Enjoy it while it lasts.

 

Vitali beats who is in front of him. He lost to what was left of Lewis on cuts while ahead on scorecards, not too devestating of a loss imo. His rotator cuff (I think) was seriously torn while miles ahead of Byrd and he couldn't take it anymore, I think he should've finished the last few rounds, but I don't know the pain he was going through.

So in retrospect, Vitali's only two losses came after he was ahead on the scorecards both times, not too bad, and although it says "tko" by default on his resume, we know he wasn't ko'd.

Just give the man some respect, he murders who is put in front of him nowadays. Haye is his (or Wlad's) chance to prove to everyone they are truely legit, but either way we know the division is crap, so at least he isn't even letting his fights be close nowadays.

 

I know what you're saying but even though the rest of the top ten are leagues below below Vitali i'd much rather watch the likes of Adamek vs Arreola.
Theyre generally much more competitive and exciting fights.

Personally I think the Klitschkos are making a lot of people bored. Their safety first snooze-fests are turning people away from the sport.

 

Maghoo...

Kirk Johnson was so disgustingly obesely out of shape he shouldn't have even been granted a boxing liscense! He showed up at a sickening 260lb, 25-30lbo over his previous best fighting weight.

 

The comparisons with Tyson and his era always bother me.

Lets remember, not only did Tyson fight better quality opposition, he was taking them out spectacularly inside only a few rounds not pissing about for ten rounds hoping they'll eventually fall over.

 

Hey McGrain, who's that in your avatar?

I think I have a semi-on.

 

Mcgrain.


Peter was # 2 by ring magazine when vitali beat him. Sanders was # 3 when Vitali beat him.

 

The Mighty Herbie Hide. :yep

 

People who picked up a belt at HW in the 90s: Michael Bentt, Bruce Seldon, Francesco Damiani, Herbie Hide.

 

3 of the 4 guys mentioned were WBOGUS champs, a belt that was NOT recognized when they held it, further more no self respecting ATG ever associated with that POS title.
