      I guess he was there because of his all-time great jaw.

        Id have to give it thought to see who he'd beat, but Ill bet any money that he would never get KOed.

          then let's list ray mercer, marion wilson, and oliver mccall as all-time greats while we're at it.

            Foreman would KO Vitali, I'm quite sure of that. Maybe prime Lewis too.

            Vitali's chin is good but he was badly rocked by Sanders, I just wonder how Corrie would've done had he not been out of shape (gassed out in the first round). He was staggered against Lewis too.

            then let's list ray mercer, marion wilson, and oliver mccall as all-time greats while we're at it.
            Yeah... I wondered about Chuvalo too. Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Dempsey, Lewis and Chuvalo??? What is he doing in there?

              I know Chuvalo isn't an all time great, I put him on there because he has the greatest chin of all time and I have mad respect for him.

                It would be very hard to outbox a guy who's never been behind on the scorecards.. That did not happen with the level of opposition labeled above - Granted!

                But Vitali had a great chin, reach and enough power in both hands to discourage just about anyone.

                Can anyone honestly say that even a Prime Lewis beats him 10 out of 10 times? I wouldn't bet my money on it.

                Marciano was just too small..

                Anyhow.. this is just fantasy talk.. but one thing I can say with certainty.
                Win or lose, Vitali would have put ANY of these guys through a hell of a fight.

                  Oh, I think that he could possibly have overwhelmed Holyfield as well, simply given his size (even though Holy has fought many big men, he lost to most of them)..
                  is it because you haven't seen enough of other fighters..

                  Well Tyson and Holyfield is already a start

                    Those on the list that I have seen from Ali,Holmes,Tyson,Foreman,Holyfeild...all beat the crap out of Klitoris,or make him quit.

                    Why is he even in the same sentence with these greats????
                    Who did Klit ever beat???...oh yeah,he gave a fat,out of shape Lennox Lewis a fight...which he lost.

                    If you are gonna keep asking how would mediocre heavys fare against the greats...gee,how would Corrie Sanders do?
