    Seems like Vitali doesn't get a chance to test his skill against someone coming to fight and fighting.


    He did an lost badly to a shell of a Lennox Lewis.

      That was definetely not the belief. Norton was over the hill. Spinks a LHW (and that was at the end of Larrys run anyway). Shavers could **** but nothing else. Berbick...... LMAO.

Don't insult my boxing knowledge btw "I WILL GO BY WHAT I WITNESSED U GO BY WAT U RED!" No, I witnessed it aswell or I wouldn't be commenting on the matter, you ****ing dolt.
        Why does everybody feel so insulted every time someone else doesn't agree with them?? A dolt??

        Get over yourself man!!!

          Holmes is better than Vitalli in every aspect. PERIOD.
          every aspect except head to head, where vitali would demolish him easily.

              haha Vitali's so great he nearly beat lennox Lewis, even Oliver McCall and Rahman got the job done.

              Lennox + big belly + inactivity = surely equals a win for a great fighter?

                  A 38yo Lewis that trained for Byrd and 4wks that had Vitali dont after a 5th round uppercut.

                  Vomon a fully prep Lewis destroys Vitali.

                    Vitali + 2 weeks preparation + major cuts = nearly beats a fully prepared Lewis who had a 2 month camp preparing for dangerous challenger.

                      Shavers was more powerful than Vitali, that fight didn't go down well. Holmes would school Klitscho in a fight. I swear this site has a lot of new comers who know no more than ****.
