Vitali slipping punches

I agree Big Vit is very underrated. Great vid. :fing02:

Not allot of people realize that Vitali actually was not in training for the fight while Lennox wasnot true. Vitali was in training before the fight against Lewis, he was fighting on the undercard against the then undefeated Cedric Boswell. Lewis was fighting Kirk Johnson, which was a joke considering Lewis's sparring partnet, John Ruiz, dropped him and got a DQ win over him.

Hoffmann defeated Sprott by UD. He's not the most skillful heavyweight, but he's very strong and durable. He was never down in a fight before he fought Dimitrenko.he also lost to Sprott once. I dont know if it was an unjust decision or not, but whatever. regardless, hes a little bit better than most people make him out to be.

Hoffman isnt that bad actually. at least compared to todays division. hes a bit old at this point, but was able to drop Dimitrenko. although I think he also lost to Michael Sprott, lolz...

I wish at this age Vitali would build boxing career instead of kickb. but still, good fight) http://

Yeah right, You always seem to be discrediting white fighters with your snidy one line comments. You always seem to be praising black fighters though.......hmm. You have earned your place on iggy, hater of white man. you don't even know me... i only don't like teh K sisters and calzaghe. i even think hatton will beat pac with the right ref. when adamek / hops was called off, i scoffed at hopkins $500,000 offer. I like AA, but i wish he'd fight in the US more some think pavlik is overrated after the hopkins loss, but I still think he's the best 160 lbers. the K sisters and calzaghe don't represent white people

I didnt really much of Vitali 'slipping' punches there. most all he has to do is lean back to get out of the way. which is legitimate. If it works, then its skill as far as Im concerned. but I just think slipping punches includes head movement in more than one direction. not meant as an insult. Hoffman isnt that bad actually. at least compared to todays division. hes a bit old at this point, but was able to drop Dimitrenko. although I think he also lost to Michael Sprott, lolz... but hes one of Vitali's better wins, imo.

He needs to be black to get any credit from you no Over-weight in this era gets credit from me. AA, pavlik, adamek... these guy I give plenty of credit to

I've always thought Vitali counted distance and timing well but hadn't seen this before - this is some pretty sweet slipping from a man a tad under 6 foot 8 inches!!! I'd like to see that plodder Valuev even come come close to this! Again - the big man is underated. He is under appreciated. He's very fundamental, smart, and has excellent timing. Footwork is pretty solid too. He could fight in any era. And that Lewis having an off night is crap. He had never had anyone just walk through is jab and get to him first before. Sure he only had a couple weeks notice, but guess what, so did Vitali.

I honestly never considered Vitally a boxer, he is more of a technically sound brawler.

Yeah I know, Timo's no great but still this is good stuff just use your eyes you can see how well he judges distance and anticipates certain punches whilst setting up his own. Good footwork too. I'm not saying the man is Ali but you gotta admit for a big man this aint half bad for a big clumsy guy like vitaly w/ no rhythym in a very pathetic Over-weight division; yes, its not that bad.

I'm not saying the man is Ali but you gotta admit for a big man this aint half bad Why didn't Vitali Klitschko look that good against Lennox Lewis? The correct answer is that Lewis isn't such an easy opponent. As it happens that was probably the worst performance of Lewis's career.

Timo Hoffman? Yeah I know, Timo's no great but still this is good stuff just use your eyes you can see how well he judges distance and anticipates certain punches whilst setting up his own. Good footwork too. I'm not saying the man is Ali but you gotta admit for a big man this aint half bad

Timo Hoffman?
