Seriously, who can stop Vitali?

[Stoppage]

Vitali combines his physical advantages with great boxing ability, though.

His defense would be a big victim to any heavyweight that has good speed and power.

The best fighter he faced was an old man in Lewis. Lewis cut him up bad.

You're telling me he could beat a prime Ali or a prime Tyson?

he wouldnt beat ali but he'd have beat tyson. tyson would have fouled out once he saw how strong and awckward big vit is

[Allucard]

He's a giant, great jab, keeps his distance, has power, he can take punishment, if you trade with him you are getting knocked, its almost unfair to the rest of the heavyweights.

Povetkin maybe can outbox him, but can he do that for 12?

Adamek like tradings and that's something he can't do with him.

Wlad won't fight him so that one is goes out the window.

He's getting old and right now I'd favor Haye over him just because he can't be on a day off vs Haye. Imagine the jab isn't working, it happens when you get older, stuff stop working with no warnings from fight to fight. If the jab isn't working Vitali can't set up the right hand though he has a good hook too unlike his brother.. Anyway i'd favor Haye right now as Vitali is nearly 40.

[ShatteredGlass]

No one currently, historically i can think of at least 10 that give him at least a 50/50 fight

Nothing on two legs could beat prime Tyson. Nothing.

The chin though, haye's chin is the worst in the division, one stiff jab and its herbie hide all over again.

Prime Ali would have humiliated prime tyson, who would be hooking at the air all night long.

Definitely not David Haye.

I think David Haye gets KOed by Chris Arreola in a devestating fashion

I never realized buster douglass was 3 legged. tyson is so overrated by some its laughable

I'm rewatching the fight now, it's shocking how bad lewis timing and conditioning is.
