But he is great! Seriously I love watching him, he is so big and goofy but he whoops everyones ass. He is so tall and never puts his hands up, sticks his face right out there at his opponent then pulls back and makes them miss. Most of all he throws his punches from his waist up, I think that is a big part of why he wins because he throws punches from every angle except straight so its hard to see the coming. Honestly he should be undefeated. The loss to Byrd was strange because even though he was in pain I figured he was up so far in the fight he could just throw one hand the rest of the fight and still win. He was whoopin up on Lewis until that massive cut stopped it and I think if that wouldnt have happened he would have beat Lewis. I think Vitali should be #1 HW and not his brother, but nothing against Wlad.

I just realised something - he fights similar to Froch. His hands are down, the shoulders are never squared up, those lanky-armed punches come from weird-ass angles, and the footwork is very flat and clumsy. Yet, behind all that there's a granite chin (albeit perhaps smoke and mirrors, since nobody besides Lennox and Sanders has ever got in close enough to test it) and deadly accuracy. Obviously he's very good at what he does. That I'm never going to deny, even though I won't hesitate to call it "pitiful" and "****" if I so choose.
It works, sure, but damn it's ugly to watch. And contrary to what the mindless drones on here say, my criticism towards Vitali is not "hate" - it's just purely subjective opinion, from a stylistic point of view. I find younger bro a joy to watch because he's such a perfectly crafted boxer in the ring (the opposite of the attributes in my first paragraph), whilst Vitali makes me cringe because he does everything wrong... yet the results are always right. Believe me, I actually want to like what he does, but I find him incredibly frustrating to watch. Don't "hate" on me for that!
Fan = an appreciator of both a boxer's style and personality, within reason. Will openly acknowledge faults or other things that people may not agree with, and remains calm whilst discussing them. Is loyal to their fighter, but not to the point of being idiotic about it.
Nuthugger = someone who boasts mindless appreciation for a boxer, with an irrational and defensive disdain for anyone expressing criticism. Thinks they are a fan, but aren't doing their favourite fighter any favours by behaving in such a childish manner. In reality, not a true fan.
Hater = someone who dislikes both a boxer's style and personality. For whatever reason, this type of individual cannot appreciate anything about a particular fighter. Hence, the word "hate" is appropriate and accurate.
Critic = an admirer of a boxer's personality as well as what they do outside the ring, but may not enjoy their style inside of it. Here's where I fall into with regards to Vitali. So fuck off (you know who you pricks are).Comment

He looked better (less goofy) in his younger days. I don't recall ever seeing him look as goofy as he did against Arreola (obviously just as effective though), I think a lot of it is he's age and he doesn't quite have teh legs & mobility he had a few years ago which makes him appear more goofy when he's runnin away from the ropes and moving side to side. hahaComment
