Vitali receives German medal of honor

[Phirsole]

It looks like Vitali's standing in Germany has some upwind:

He just received the Bundesverdienstkreuz, the highest German decoration for civilians, for his accomplishments in improving the diplomatic connections between Ukraine and Germany.

While this may not have something to do with boxing, it adds another feather in the regards of "greatness", which includes the intangibles in and out of the ring.

Terrible joke, but I also couldn't help but notice that at the time. Perhaps a bit of a gaffe from Vitali. :laff2:

LoL i spat my coffee out when i see those vitali/hitler pics

The nadgerlickers will undoubtedly see it as a personal insult to their man, though. Ah well.

Real fans can laugh at anything.

I noticed as well.

I hate Hitler jokes. They are so outdated.

...But what the hell. Michael Schumacher has always been su****ious to me as well:

Cotdamn, I remember that from a decade ago. :laffpoint:

Really? Who won? Schumi looks like he lost. He was probably attacked on 2 fronts.
