    Fun fight, but would be lucky to make top 15 heavyweight fights of the last 30 years.
    Knowing how Vitali gets under your skin, it's almost a compliment.

      So lets bet 100,000 points on this fight, Thread Stealer. If Vitali's as bad as you always say, shouldn't Peter be able to beat him?

      After all, Vitali's age 37 and has been inactive for almost four years.

        Sucker's bet, nobody's going to touch that with anything close to realistic expectations of a payoff.

          I have plenty of points to cover the bet! If Peter wins, I will pay 100 K within minutes.

            Stumbling drunks? It was two big aggressive guys going at it nearly non-stop for the entire fight. The only other heavyweight fight that compares, action-wise in recent times was Brewster/Lyachovich.

            Anyway, what I was going to ask....can you give me a list of that top 15 you have? I find it difficult to believe you wouldn't have Lewis/Klitchko on it.

              Not much chance of you having to pay it, but hell...I'll chip in 25% of your payout if that happens. I'll also be obligated to eat a pair of my own undershorts (said that on another thread) if Klitschko loses.

                I can start this list if you like
                Ali-Frazier x3
                Bowe-Holyfield x2
                Tua-Ibeabuchi
                Holyfield-Moorer
                Douglas-Tyson
                Ali- Foreman
                Holyfield-Tyson

                those are 10 I thought were better.


                Just off the top of my head. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the battle.
                If I was in a better frame of mine, I could easily think of 5 more.

                  Ali/Frazier, Ali/Foreman, don't count....we're talking last 30 years.

                  As for the others....

                  Bowe/Holyfield and Holyfield/Moorer are of the same quality...great action, evenly matched.

                  Tua/Ike..yeah, great fight, great action, and I have to admit that it's right up there too, but I tend to try and forget Ike. He was a nutcase.

                  And the Tyson/Douglas fight wasn't, at least in my opinion, anything special. Tyson basically gave up after he realized he wasn't going to be able to blow Douglas out like he did nearly everyone else, and he looked beaten for a few rounds before it was actually over, though he did rally a little a couple of times.

                  Holyfield/Tyson just further proved how mentally unstable Tyson was, and again...I didn't think either were exactly spectacular.

                  The reason I liked the Klitschko/Lewis fight so much is because it was a total surprise. Everyone expected a fairly easy win by Lewis (me included), and he ended up having all he could handle. Additionally, it brought the tiger back out in Lewis, as well as bringing Vitali into the light for US boxing fans.

                    FAIR ENOUGH BRO.
                    But Rahman-Sanders even was better than this one.
                    I liked this fight though, just making the point it's not hard to find better fights.
                    I hear what you're screaming though.

                      For some reason I don't think Peter is all there mentally.
