    they areimpressive for being impressive.

    vitali isnt impressive, as has been explained to you, being able to win lotsof rounds against middlers is shared by the vast majority of HW world class boxers. All you are proving with your stat is that Vits wasnt any better than those hundreds. Was that your aim?

    the others crush him but not morrison. He was a similar protected hype job, and he still messed it up even with a huge legup! Couldnt even look after his own health properly,hardly a very professional athlete, and he ruined his health in the 90s when HIV was well documented so he doesnt even get a free pass for ignorance in contracting it that those in the 80s can partially claim.

    Yes, they did report it. So what you are saying here is 100% wrong. Others are saying it was reported via translator, so Merchant should have known by then. The question is when did the translator first hear it, not when did HBO report it. Figure out the difference.

    Yes, his trainer said his hand was hurt, but he didn't say when. Obviously the translator heard it BEFORE the start of round nine. At the very least you made Dino wrong once again. The injury was reported earlier in the corner.

    Go to the 48:06 mark on the video you posted, and you will clearly here the interpreter say the injury happened in round three, and after the 3rd round.

    NO debate. Owned again.

    Golota, who never won a big fight despite a few opportunities was slapping Bowe around and had him in major trouble. Golota would not be among Vitali's three best wins. That was really easy.

    I've already told you that Ali was out boxed in several fights. Jimmy Young should have beat him on the cards and Norton easily did.

    Now, answer my question. Who in the history of heavyweight champions has a better rounds won to rounds lost ratio? Spare me the era sucks, anyone can say that. Your reply is?

    Why is Vitali’s corner telling him to throw the left and use the jab...why is there no communication between he and the corner that his left was hurt whether hand or arm or shoulder?

    Or perhaps it is fabricated? To what end I do not know.

    I am not sure why I even care. I am not trying to denigrate Vitali and think he is a top 20 HW and right on my 15 line.

    But I don’t get the sense from his corner that he was hurt in the 3rd, and my eye test does not show any ill effects when he did.

    They were urging him to continue between the 9th and 10th rds saying"it's okay ,it will be okay".The decision to quit was Vitali's alone.I'm not condemning him either, others have continued with far more serious injuries,some have quit with lesser damage.
    The point is the commentary team were not aware of any injury until the middle of the 9th round?
    If they had been ,does anybody think they would not have mentioned it?
    Mendoza would argue the earth was flat if it suited his agenda the man's deranged!

    Why wouldn't the translator have heard it earlier, if it was mentioned sooner?

    The team would obviously mention it when they became aware of it!
    That's what they are there for!

    HBO reported the injury when Vinter told them about it in round 9. They didn't report on it in round 3 like you falsely claimed.
    The round 3 injury was reported on by Vitali in the post fight interview , again - not the same as claiming it was reported on in round 3.

    From round 1-9 , nobody knew about any injury. Vitali didn't complain , nor did his corner.

    Its easy to spot an injured fighter , Vitali didn't appear injured , hence why everybody was so surprised by the quittage.
    You should take this loss like a man and move on.
