:rofl Vitaly would have got KTFO, if he thinks a fat golfer hits hard, he'd be in deep **** when Bruno caught his ass.
VITLAY clearly lost 2 rounds and in my opinion lost 3. Irrelevent, when you consider the damage done to his face anyway. I believe Lewis was ahead on the cards when he lost to Rahman, damn that lucky Rahman, Lewis fans are still whining to this day about that defeat, aren't they? :nut :nut :nut :nut :nut
I don't think Ibeabuchi could have beaten Vitaly. He would have gotten chopped up with jabs and rights. Vitaly by TKO.
If you deny that Bruno has way more power and is much better than the 38 yr old golfer than you are full of it, do you think the Lewis that fought Vitaly would have beat Bruno in 91, I don't.
holyfield would have no chance of beating a prime vitaly...he is not nearly big enough...i do not think lewis could beat vitaly either. ok yes their fight did get stopped ON CUTS! if they fought again the next week vitaly would take it...lewis chin would give in evetnually....vitaly could have been a true destroyer..one of the most dominant ever...shame for all the injuries.
Yep. I suggest some of these sack-swingers scour youtube for Bruno fights, he was another one like VITLAY, rarely ********* and hit like a ****ing mule. VITLAY would be in a world of pain with prime Bruno....as for WALDO forget about it, Bruno KO2 :smoke
You have to remember that Vitaly has shown an A+ chin in his fights with big punchers like Lewis and Sanders. Sanders may not have have been a world beater but the one thing he could do well was punch hard. He was also quick and athletic albeit terribly conditioned. I feel that prime on prime Vitaly would have beaten smaller fighters like Tyson and Holyfield. Remember, Lewis was undertrained and past his best and he still managed to cut Vitaly up and stop him via TKO due to cuts. Vitaly would have certainly beat him in a rematch and Lewis knew it from fighting him the first time. Prime on prime it's a toss up IMO.
Yeah I'm black and I'm also from LA but this has nothing to do with race, I just get sick of hearing how these 2 would beat prime Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Holmes, Louis etc, when 1 already got KTFO by a clubfighter in purrity, and the other has done so little that the highlight of his career is getting busted up by an old man. The Nuthuggery needs to stop.
Sanders was a journeyman level fighter, Bruno was a ranked contender who became champ, Bruno was clearly much better than Sanders and hit much much harder as well
Not getting KO'd by 38 year old Lewis and 40 year old Sanders does NOT mean you have an A+ chin for ****s sake atsch Sanders couldn't KO Rahman who is according to a certain Klit-Hugger on here "glass jawed" Sanders hit Rahman with some good shots whilst in his prime, no reaction. He hit WALDO with good shots and look what happened. He also decked VITLAY in the first round but the stupid ref waved it off. No way in hell does VITLAY have an A+ chin, he's a B+ in my opinion, same as Lewis. Lewis wasn't a KO artist and Sanders wasn't either, especially the versions that VITLAY faced. This is a bull**** line of discussion.
You said:- "There is nothing in his career to suggest that he had the 12 round game to knock a fighter with a chin like Vitali out. Irrespective of Sanders **** physique and conditioning, if you deny his speed and power you are obviously a ****ing idiot" You were suggesting that 40 year old Sanders had speed and power in abundance yet prime Bruno would have lost because he would gas. Why do you think 40 year old Sanders got beaten by VITLAY? He gassed, simple as that. Prime Bruno would have gassed around the 8th round sure, but that's 4 rounds longer than VITLAY would have lasted with him, so it's irrelevent. 40 year old Sanders was effectively a 1 round fight against VITLAY, Bruno wouldn't be that simple. You ****ing moron :good
I agree with you that it's foolish to rate the Klitschkos on par with Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Holmes, Louis, etc. There's no real comparison. On the other hand, the Klitschkos have done enough so far to deserve being rated in the second tier of all-time great heavies, let's say between 20th and 30th on a historical basis. It's important to credit the Klitschkos for what they have accomplished.
Jerry Quarry got knocked down and staggered by a stiff named Joe Alexander in 1974 before coming back to knock him out early. In his previous fight he had ran right through the fearsome punching Earnie Shavers without being hurt at all. Rahman was hurt by Sanders. Sanders just ran out of gas like he did in most of his fights. He almost knocked Rahman through the ropes and, to his credit, Rahman came back and stopped the South African. Lewis had a good chin. Considerably better than that of Wlad but short of on par with Vitaly's concrete beard IMO.
