    Your list was decent until these two, then it got silly.

    Hide had ability and power but a glass chin, and The Nipple was always a crock of ****.

      In fairness I think most people would say he lost the first fight with Toney.

        Actually I would say the fight against Lewis. Vitali showed courage, invention, movement and good skills throughout the fight. What made this more impressive is that it was against a truly world class opponent. For the record I thought Lewis was way ahead, but it was close in parts. A great performance and probably the reason why some people felt he had the beating of Lewis.

          I respectfully disagree,with Lewis being ahead,he looked like a mess in there & if it weren't for the horrible cuts,I think Vitali would have stopped him!!Lewis looked off balance & out of shape,he was getting hit cleanly & often,to each his own though,I respect ur opinion!!
