In Louis time there was no growing hormones or steroids to make giants and 6 foot was a tall fighter and less face it. Giant Vitali will never be consider as the best HW champion of all times.

The shoulder injury was direct result of his ATROCIOUS accuracy. 500 punches thrown and Byrd barely had a scratch on him.
Vitali has never beaten an elite skilled boxer in his life and is 0-2 in his career.
I don't know why a lot of people don't give Byrd credit for this fight he was making Vitali look foolish in the ring that night. He fought a fantastic fight. And he won. People can use the excuse of vitali's shoulder, well, it was byrd who made him miss all night long.

As far as all time standings go it means very little. Greatness isn't based on unprovable fantasy fights, it's based on resume and accomplishments.

Originally posted by Mr. Invincible View PostSure he is. Just not resume-wise. That don't mean he wasn't the Ring champ before Wladimir and doesn't mean he's not conidered the better fighter of the two. Wlad's #1 on paper, Vitali's #1 in the ring. (very close now though)
