Vitali Is Most Underrated Fighter Now

[INFAMOUZ]

Tell me one fighter who actually beat Vitali....this guy gets no respect whatsoever. he was clearly beating Byrd before he had torn rotator cuff...he was clearly beating Lewis before fight was stopped for cuts...tell me one fighter who actually beat him.

does he look stiff? heck yes, he doesn't really look like a typical heavyweight champ...those nimble athletic fighters...but he is what he is: a technically sound fighter who fights with brain and power.

Is he the greatest heavyweight? no, but I think he is a pretty good champ at heavy.

the fact of the matter is that any heavyweight fighter can get in trouble with one punch...sure, Vitali looked shakey sometimes but I haven't seen a fight where he was losing yet.

some question his heart after quitting against Byrd...asking a boxer to fight with torn rotator cuff is like asking a pitcher to throw 95mph with blown elbow. it just is not possible.

I think Vitali will KO Williams in less than 5 rounds (yes, I was dead wrong about MAB v. Terrible but hey, we are dealing with different fighters here.)

oh have a day off mate with this constant spamming of your favourite fighters, he did lose to lewis check the bloody result.

then check the rules, then check the result again he lost.

he lost to byrd cos he retire in the 10th, he only had a round and a bit to go, a torn rotator cuff is not the most painful of injuries a boxer could suffer, trust me on this.

fighters have gone through much more and continued, Danny williams for one.

Vitali is a decent chap but please dont make out he gets no respect he gets plenty.

I'm a little sick of this nonsense about Vitali "not really losing".

He quit against Byrd (other fighters have been hurt worse than him, earlier in a fight, against GUYS THEIR OWN SIZE...& gone on).

His face was busted to bits by the FISTS of Lennox Lewis.
Tell me how that's "not real".

[P@pasmurf]

lewis dsetroyed him.

I agree with all three posts...how the **** is that possible? He has lost, but sometimes when you lose you really win and I think at least in the Lewis fight this is the case. I think Vitali is a decent champ, I think there is no question that he is better than Byrd or Ruiz...my hope is that Byrd, Ruiz, Rock, and all the other King boys are getting very tired of each other and know to be the true champion you have to beat Vitali...in the same respect Vitali needs to beat Byrd and Ruiz...these fights are only going to happen if King's kids get tired of fighting each other in his over hyped hw tourney's.

Danny Williams is a ******? If that is true then **** him, I hope Klitschko ends his career.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a load of rubbish, tell me who he didnt get beat by, or who the *** has fe fought that was good who didnt beat him...........rofl

[BrooklynBomber]

Well he definetely lost to Lewis and Byrd. He had Lewis's number for 4 or 5 rounds but than doctor legitimately stopped on cuts(good call IMHO). So you cant say that he actually beat Lewis. Lewis had the opportunity to cut him and did so.Respect for Lewis.
It was not like one of the King type victories. In Byrd fight he quit and did the right thing.
You know its better to lose one day but than comeback another day than suffer a career ending injury. The only credit that Vitaly can get is that he looked good and fought his best.
