    Klits are overrated in every possible way
    Lennox is a greater fighter than both of those combined.

    I agree with Vitali. I disagree with Wlad. Aggressive fighters are his doom but boxers will have big trouble with him. And he is about to become an atg hw.
     
  4. really? funny because vitali dominated lewis , he was winning on the cards and lewis wanted no part of the rematch. lewis was not in his prime but this one was the strongest and the heaviest version of lewis, styles make fights and vitali would be a hard match for lewis always, and honestly i think that vitali would beat a prime tyson, that tyson might not ko vitali it is a fact.... tyson could not ko smith,tucker,tillis or green..
    vitali would frustrate tyson with the clinch, vitali would handle pretty good him, tyson was a kid compared with vitali... 5´11 vs 6´8? tyson had skill,speed, he was accurate, he had good defense but he was too small simply, tyson might not catch him with a clean shot in the face. vitali has simply better chin, comparable hitting power, probably more strength, much longer reach, much taller, he has skill, he has stamina, he has heart... i would give tyson a chance because he had speed and skill, but still i think that vitali would be too much for him

    I personally dont think VK hits on the same level as LL

    WK is about to become an ATG dont get me wrong

    but IMO he belongs on the lower tier of ATGs

    Vitali is a hard puncher but more of a damaging kind than a of a one punch knockouter like Lewis. Wlad on the other hand is in those realm.

    For me there are only two groups of atgs at hw. Ali and Louis. And the rest.

    LENNOX LEWIS WAS ON HIS WAY TO KHTFO!
    The fight was stopped due to cuts. Vitali might have been ahead on the scorecards....but he lost the fight....simple as.

    Tyson woudl rip VK a new *******, just watch the last half of the 1st round of the Corrie Sanders fight, if that was Tyson VK would have been asleep.

    Smith hugged for 12 rounds. Tucker ran for 12, Tillis was a green Tysons first step up in class and Green? Tyson wanted to **** him or 12 rounds(which he did) on top of that, VK style is NOTHING like any of them. If anythign VKs style is like Trevor Berbicks, and we know what Tyson did to him.

    Kevin Johnson and Shannon Briggs went 12 with Vitali. And Tyson forgot more than those two combined ever learnt.

    The only person who really frustrated Tyson was Holyfield with his counterpunching style. Vks name shouldnt ever be mentioned with Evanders, on top of that they have totally different fighting styles.

    Tyson would end both of the Klits very very early. Larry Holmes was never KOd by anyone....until Tyson got hold of him. So to say Tyson cant KO VK is NOT a fact its merely opinion.

    Vitali dominated Lewis? well he was supposed to, he was the young up and coming prime fighter against the old veteran and what happened? Lennox BEAT him...with one foot in retirement.

    Imagine if Tyson had lost to Holmes? Or Ali to Liston? Or Marciano to Louis? Or Dempsey to Willard?

    VK caught LL on a bad night and still lost. A fit, motivated Lennox would take VK to school.

    Tyson is like a kid to VK? No mate, Mike Tyson is the most feared man ever to step inside the ring, 100 years from now people will still marvel at his powers when he was at his peak. In 100 years time people will say.....Vitali who?

    I agree with the first half

    Second half for me
    Ali, Lewis, Foreman, Tyson

    and then the rest

    and then the Klits

    No.

    He probably wasn't.

    On one shot power, Lewis hit harder.

    Lewis certainly had more strength/power. But you could perhaps argue Tyson was the better puncher, because of his phenomenal speed and output.

    Tyson hits harder than Lewis, no matter how you choose to define power.
     
  15. absolutely.

    INTERVIEW TO OLIVER MCCALL:


    Boxinginsider.com: You are renowned for being able to take a big punch. Who was the hardest puncher you faced?
    Oliver McCall: “Bert Cooper. Left hook. That was the hardest punch that I ever felt and that I had to overcome. It felt like a truck had hit me. I never got hit by a truck but it felt like if a truck would have hit me.”
    Boxinginsider.com: Who else was up there? Lennox?
    Oliver McCall: “No, Lennox wasn’t one of the hardest punchers that I – Buster Douglas hit me harder than Lennox did. Right hand.”
    Boxinginsider.com: How about Tyson? He has to be up there?
    Oliver McCall: “Tyson’s right there too. Lennox would probably be about fifth
