Yes, Vitali needs some better names on his resummee.
But he'll be ATG. He probably already is HOF.
- He came back from 1,400 days off the ring thanks to injuries, aged 37.
- He had no warm-up-fight, he went straight for the belt.
- He did not only win against a younger opponent (who was considered a powerful and dangerous fighter BEFORE the fight), who had a lost only once in 31 fights,
- he made the word champion quit in his stool, destroyed physically and mentally.
- He fought against three more Top10 contenders within 14 months of his comeback, TKOing 2 and winning 12/12 in the last.
- Despite KJ, he still has the highest KO rating of all active HW boxers.
- Vitali lost two fights in his carreer, and both were to injuries, not to being knocked down or outboxed.
- His fight with Lennox Lewis drove the ATG into retirement.
What he did against Samuel Peter is impressive but doesn't make for Hall of Fame status. it was Samuel Peter. I repeat, Samual Peter.
Kevin Johnson? This joke is going from bad to worse.
