    So his best win was an out of shape, not very good Sam Peter. And this makes him great? At no point has he dominated the division; he's been a champ for a composite total of two years during two different periods. He avoided a fight with Hasim Rahman. Great? That term gets thrown around too loosely here. But yes, I too was impressed at the way he beat up...Sam Peter.
    That same Sam Peter nearly knocked Wladimir out. Chill out, man. You're acting like Vitali is some bum. Again, I'm not saying Vitali is Ali or Frazier, but the guy is clearly the best heavyweight since Lennox retired, and Lennox beat him at his best while being far from his best. Vitali has pretty much beat the hell out of everyone else he has fought. That's impressive.

      think his best "win" is the draw with Evander, i thought The Real Deal shoulda just nicked it in the ACTUALL win for LL tho


      His best performances were his Destruction of Ruddock, His dismantling of Rahman in the rematch and his dull but controlled ass boxing lesson on Tua


      Tyson was a corpse and exciting tho the Vitali fight was it was piss poor amaturish sloppy stuff plus he looked set for a loss without those cuts

        Using the word great does not mean you are calling that fighter an ATG, at least not when I use it. A fighter that beats the hell out of every contender in their division can be called great, and not an ATG. I never called Vitali an ATG.

          Sorry, you called him great. Offering up Sam Peter as proof is not convincing. And my saying he's not great doesn't mean he's a bum. it just means he's good. Great? You have to do more than beat Sam Peter to be called that. And saying he's beaten the hell out of nearly everyone he's fought means little. So has Mikkel Kessler. Bad comparison but you get the point.

            I never said you did. I specifically said "great" several times.

                I think it's Vitali. He went on to be a great champion on his own and Lewis was already past it when he beat him. Although he got a little lucky according to some.
