Vitali Is Most Underrated Fighter Now

[jabsRstiff]

I don't care which injury is more serious.

Fact is....all of them hurt, & hurt badly.

The big difference here is WHEN these injuries occurred.

Your hero could not operate through the pain. These other guys could.

You still don't get it. This is like trying to have a discusion with SDW.

you know, as bad as the heavywieght division is, imagine what it would be like without VK... what would the big fight be??? byrd vs ruiz???

even if you dont like VK, you have admit that he's the one bright spot in an otherwise dismal division... his fights with lewis, sanders and KJ were by far more entertaining then any fights of ruiz, rahman and brewster

No....YOU don't get it.


You are using something tangible, in a debate over an intangible.

Do you honestly believe it takes more heart to QUIT, with a single injury sustained late in a fight...than it does to repeatedly slam BOTH of your broken fists into a man's body & head, while taking punches & head butts to your broken cheekbone ?


You are hopeless....& still, the most limited poster on this board.

IMHO he is very underrated by some and definetely overrated by others. Some posters say that he is a noheart no talent bum that should not even be boxing but they dont give an alternative fighter who is better or more fun to watch(i mean right now). Others are trying to defend him and while doing so they get verrrry annoying. i think that next saturday
will answer a lot of questions(but not all of them) judging on how many people are favouring DW.

Neuraxis is in love with vitali, every time vitali is under scrutiny he jumps to his defense, we all will see just how good he is on the 11th, i think williams will definitly stand in there and test that chin!

Here is a sample of an article regarding Vitali and Lewis. Even though I like Lewis, after reading this I do have to question his ballsack a little bit.




[Klitschko overcame that moment of (mechanical) failure by earning a crack at Lennox Lewis in June of 2003. Thinking they knew Klitschko based on the worst moment of his career, most everyone gave Vitali no chance to win the title. Even though Lewis publically mocked Klitschko's ability, what slipped by the public perception was the reality that Lewis privately had broken three contracts to fight Vitali.

Today this crucially important, smoking gun of a truth is still not fully realized, so let me present the exact words of Peter Kohl to *************.com in December of 2002: "(Lewis-Klitschko) was settled originally for the 8th of December (2002)," Kohl told me. "And Lewis has the chance to change the fight to February. And that was his possibility. And he changed the fight to February. And then he came in December and said, Oh no, we will not do the fight in February. We will do it definitely in April. Adrian Ogun (Lewis manager) came to Hamburg and said the deal was done for April. And still Vitali was not fighting (he was waiting to fight Lewis). Then we get a letter saying Lennox would give a direct rematch to Mike Tyson in June (Tyson eventually rejected that opportunity). Lennox had four times to fight Vitali. And he didn't do it. And with your open mind - it's not the money - we have the signed deal. The deal was perfect. 52 times the contracts are changing from my lawyers to (Lewis's lawyer) Judd Burstein and back - 52 times! So the contract was done. But they didn't do it. Ask yourself, Does Lennox Lewis want to fight Vitali or not? Four times he could fight Vitali.]"

Lewis did not want to fight with Vitali...?
Probably Lewis only did not want to risk?

"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 agree totally. He gets plenty of props and a loss is a loss.

[markosg19]

he is not underrated he is just the top of a really bad bunch. But the Sanders fights didn't suggest that he is underrated in any way.

By that logic, someone like Joe Calzaghe is really underrated cause he is the best in a poor division!
