vitALI could become one of the top 5 heavies
of all time ...
I believe he's there right now. He's the most dominant heavy of alltime. I believe if Haye destroys Wlad & Vitali comes right back & destroys Haye in 1 rd just like Solis & becomes the first 4 beltholder in heavyweight history.... it'd definitely be top 5 if the haTERS kept it real & would solidify him as definitely #1 on my list as even the haters would admit that's just bad ass if this were to happen.
This much dominance & discrepency in other sports makes you the best ever.. Apparently in boxing..we focus more on opponents than the actual skills of the fighter himself.. They're using the Wilt Chamberlain theory here on Vitali when it doesn't pertain at all as Vitali is fighting the biggest heavyweight ever..unlike Wilt WhO feasted on much smaller competition as opposed to the modern era. Also in boxing..it's more of a head to head & not team oriented.. Vitali's got all the physical tools on his side & most importantly knows how to fight... no way in hell he'd have trouble with former greats,,which basically is what's denying him is rightful place atop the heavyweight list. He can't face all these fighters through no doing of his own.. I have no DOUBT in my mind they would all go down like dominoes one by great one.
I agree he can compete with former greats..
but, he doesn't have **** on his resume
His greatest accomplishment is losing to Lennox Lewis
Swinging at air certainly didn't help his shoulder
That didn't discourage him from throwing more. 2 healthy shoulders & do you really think Byrd even makes it to 9 rds... eventually he would've hit the target like Ike did.... keep it real bro.
you cant compare the vitali that fought byrd to the vitali now
just like you cant compare lewis getting stopped by mccall
to the legend that came after ..
vitali learnt from the loss and has been unbeatable since
Agreed. Vitali may have losses on his record, but he's never been beaten.
This is the most impressive of the statistics.
We're talking heavyweights here but you knew that. Valero died at 27-0 27ko's & Vitali blew his shoulder at 27-0 27 KO'S... Valero did it in 3 or 4 less rds but when you factor the poundage that Vitali whacked.. he knocked out more beef..so Vitali wins.
