I believe it was around 2011-2012. I think he looked great against Adamek and Chisora despite his injury in the 2nd-3rd round. Vitali showed in those two fights that he can play with you instead of fighting you first and dismantles when ever he wants.
I know that some of you consider it as a complete non-sense to include the Chisora fight, so let me give you the reasons why I believe was in his prime during that fight : - if you look at the very first rounds, Chisora kept on marching very aggressively but he didn't touch Vitali with a single headshot. After Vitali got injured, which was clearly obvious during the fight, he fought extremely smart by staying on the backfoot and countering only with his right arm. Chisora, at best, brushed Vitali's face a few times.
And what I find really intriguing with Vitali is that he is a master at not being touched with a very low guard (I will make a thread on low guards).
So, what's your take on that?
