          Lenny the best of the light in the loafer 90s.
          - - Vit was 27-0, 27 KO after having KOed Hide in the UK for WBO with several title defenses against credible contenders as could be lured to Germany.

          Remember, he appeared at public US matches to lobby the big names who all refused him including Lenny.

          Not a bad start for such a stellar record setting career.

            Most of Vitali's challengers were unranked by the Ring
            Briggs
            Chisora
            Sokolowski
            Charr
            Johnson
            Arreola
            Mahone
            Sullivan

            Vitali was a cherry picker.
            ​​​​​​​16 world title fights lost 2 and at least 8 of the others were not Ring ranked

              - - I posted Boxrec top 25 before he fought Briggs and either Vit or Wlad had already beat up and KOed most of them, sometimes both of them, and maybe a half dozen leftovers were either ducking them or still in development.

              Ignorance and French Fried Ungutted Snails seems to be your primary bliss.

                A lot of them fought each other. When the smoke cleared only one was left standing. That was Lennox Lewis. Holyfield #2 because he fought everyone on everybody's list.

                  - - Vander was 14-4-1, 6 KOs for the 90s, ie almost 2 fights per year with a 33% KO ratio.

                    Bowe never fought Lewis; Tyson never fought Mercer. Foreman never fought Bowe or Lewis. Evander fought them all. That has to count for something.

                      You don't get a pass because your brother fights the ones you would rather miss ,and you said credible challengers .Credible challengers are men ranked in the top ten not journeymen like Ed Mahone.

                      Vitali's resume is singularly underwhelming and everyone acknowledges it but a trolling hayseed like you and that cretin Z.
