I want to say Sanders. That guy took a beating unlike anything that has been seen and he kept coming forward trying to land punches.

I agree with you, I would have to say Sanders

Wasn't Lennox Lewis four fights ago?

If so, this is a silly question.

Let's count....>Williams on Sat, before that Sanders, before that Johnson, before that Lennox right?

:D :D :D :D

Lennox Lewis was the only guy he's fought in the last 4 that wasn't a straight-up bum.

i dont agree with that mnate but i dont like the term bum, maybe werent the highest of standard but you dont get off the floor 4 times if your a bum you roll over and capitulate.

Sanders was just ageing, Johnson well he was in the mix, though tell you what maybe you got a point there.... :D

Its a shame really that a straight-up bum dominated your beloved Rahman basically their whole fight until a combination of Rahman landing a good punch and Sanders fatigue ended the fight. What does that say about Rahman then?

Did you see the thread where I said if VK can legitimately KO Rahman I'll give you and Nautilus both a million points?

I want to see VK be the guy everyone has already made him.

That Sanders fight was 2000. From then to 2004 (and really the year before when he fought Wlad), Sanders spent most of his time on the golf course and eating boxes of Hostess snack cakes, it appears.

Also the fact he was fatigued just barely over halfway into the fight says that he's conditioned about like the Klitschkos.

....Rahman is a one punch wonder that sucks IMO. He got lucky one time over Lennox and that's it. Lennox crushed him in the rematch, Holly beat the crap out of him while in his decline. Maskaev nearly killed him when he knocked him out so hard he went right through the announces table outside the ring, lost to the lowly and disgraceful Ruiz, Got whipped once by Tua and got a draw the second time, and got lucky against Sanders who also nearly decapitated him. Rahman's claim to fame is a one punch knockout of Lewis. Vitali would dispose of him within 3 or 4 rounds.

.....Sanders weighed the exact same for his fights with Wlad and Rahman.

Except for the fact that he weighed 225 lbs against Wlad and Rahman. He has always had weak spot for Hostess snack cakes. And between Rahman and Wlad he TKO'd Sprott in 1 and Tisdale in 2. And no I didn't see that but I'm going to hold you to it now.

Lennox Lewis.

the only one that put up a decent fight
Lennox Lewis

I don't care about the weight - Neuraxis uploaded the Sanders/Rahman fight and the guy looks to be much fitter than in the Klitschko fights.

Anyone got any pics to validate this?

Much as I hate him, the obvious answer is Lenny.

And sorry, but I have never been that impressed with Rahman OR Tua.

Stupid question as I highly doubt that anyone with some sense would rate Williams, Sanders or Johnson above Lewis.

You wanna talk skill? Lennox was the far most-skilled opponent Vitali has ever faced in the ring. Toughest? I would say Corrie Sanders. I don't see Lennox taking all of those shots and still standing.

the point of the Sanders fight is that Lewis was using him as an extension of himself.

Of course Sanders was tired, so would Lewis be if he fought the way he told Sanders to fight. They figured that VK was just like WK, who would easily crumble from a huge powershot, which, contrary to some opinions, Sanders definitely had (even with the hostess cakes).

If Lewis was right back then, the fight would have been over when Sanders dazed him from that same huge powershot we are talking about. Since that theory was debunked, we now know that Sanders wasn't effective to beat VK, no matter what strategy he used.

LL ofcouse atleast he gave VK a fight.

I'd say lennox cos he cut him to pieces and won the fight

that cut was from Lewis' glove (not the end, but the tape / string area)

but one way of looking at this question is...
Lewis was the toughest because of what it may have done to VK's mentality, being that it was a loss for VK ..

:)

after the fight was over i thought vitali fought freddie kruger.

did you see that cut that his brother Wlad got during his last fight? The headbutt?
that was a GASH!!

however, Lewis was his toughrest opponent, in the other 3 matches he was never in any difficulties (althought sanders fought a great match)

I think Corrie Sanders was probably the biggest test, because he definitely clocked Vitali pretty good w/ some of those shots. Lennox Lewis was one tough fight, but I think Lennox would have went down the next round barring the cut, he barely got up from his stool to to interviews.

i concur..
they both can be viewed as tougher given the differing circumstances

LL was by far the toughest, VK's face should show that. VK showed alot of heart in that fight but it was only a matter of time, and VK had lost the 5th and 6th round after winning the 1st 4, it was only going to get worst, LL was just going to continue beating his face in until he fell. LL would never give up no matter how tired he was, He is always able to go 12rounds, his conditioning should never be questioned.
