How many heavyweights out there do you believe could beat Vitali?

[paul750]

i'd say peter, brewster and rahman have the best chances because they have pretty good power.... i dont think brock, byrd, toney, ruiz hit hard enough to beat VK and i believe you will have to be able to hurt him to beat him since he's so big...

yes but do those guys hit any harder than lewis or sanders? i don't believe they do. klitschko will either need to be outboxed, cut, or retire due to injury to be beaten IMO.

they dont hit harder, but they hit enough to command respect, which is what you will need to do to keep VK off you and to fight your fight... i dont think anyone can outbox VK without being able to hurt to him, thats why i give byrd and ruiz almost no chance

Bout the only person I can think of that might have a chance against Vitali would be Valuev. But I think Vitali would outbox him.

I think Vitali has a style that is almost impossible to deal with unless you are the same height and strength. In the future i see many similarly gifted heavyweights training or adopting his style of boxing. When he fought Lennox Lewis he just tried to blast him out of there and it turned out to be sluggin match. I have never seen him go back to that style. Almost all the other times he has fought he was very cold and calculating, He almost never got hit prior to the lewis fight.

vitali has never been outboxed, never been KO'd, never been down, only 2 loses were from cut and injury. untill someone actaully starts whooping up on vitali i dont see how anyone today could beat him. unless its by cut or injury lmao. once vitali beats everybody the haters will be in such a cornor all they will do is bring up the byrd and lewis fights

[TheFairPole]

The only chance is for someone to pummel Vitali with huge power shots like Peter's. I'm talking like 7-10 unanswered, but that will never happen. I said 1-2 for that reason but I really doubt it will ever happen.

[MetalVomit]

I thought the poll was for how many champs can beat him. oops. read too fast......

[Winter]

I believe Vitali will be the champion for a very long time. I feel no boxers can beat Vitali. Vitali can be champion as long as he wants to be.

Two - Toney and Ike (if let out now)
