Vitali's ATG Ranking?

[Jam Jars]

top 10 for sure. would like a big win over haye to solidify it. solid stat that stands out to me is that he has never been behind in a fight on the cards. people say weak era. I say well, that's what a great fighter does in a weak era, what they are supposed to do, dominate. only 2 losses come from injury, both fights up on the cards. that is the definition of great.

Top 10??? LOL

Nice that you aknowledged it's a weak era and how many of Vitali's opponents were ranked in the top 5 when he fought them? I'm guessing 4 or 5....... What a all time great he is. LOL

good guess. the answer is 4.

lennox lewis-ranked 1-loss
corrie sanders-ranked 3-win
sam peter ranked 2(lol)-win
tomas adamek ranked 3-win

3-1 and never beat the best guy in the division go vitali!

How is it that beating another career Cruiser in David Haye will improve his resume so tremendously? The same people that criticize this era are saying that beating a guy with no credible wins in HW will solidify Vitali career. It doesnt make sense to me. A great talent like Vitali dont have the chance to prove due to the weak competition right now. C'est la vie.

Haye will probably rip the **** out of Vitali ducking him for the rest of his life. TBH Haye should have stayed at cruiserweight.

You're right. Joking about a guy on the Internet is the behaviour of lonely middle aged basement dwellers. On the other hand, getting angered by it and leaping to the defence of said successful millionaire you don't know is the behaviour of a really cool and successful guy.

Everyone knows that people in the real world hate a sense of humour and only people who are tediously boring ****s get anywhere in life.

Please, get off your stool.

Has nothing to do with not having a sense of humour, it just isn't funny. Would you like joking about Ali being a coward and avoiding military service because he hasn't got the guts to fight in a war? No you wouldn't.

Great question. As a HW, I'll have Vitali in top 15-20, same for his brother Wladimir. Wlad would probably be higher simply because of his comfortable win over Haye.
He is definitely HOF worthy.
But I would not rate him as an ATG fighter. Unlike most people, I probably can only include 30 fighters, 40 max, who could be considered as ATGs.

Not cool man. Not cool at all.
If you respect Ali for standing up to his beliefs and his opinion, you should show respect to Vitali for the same reason. He's putting his life on the line every day he's working in the Ukrainian politics. I bet you wouldn't have the guts to do that cause it takes more than posting ****** pictures on an internet forum.

Don't you see this is all jealousy.. it's not even worth a response but you gave a very good one.

My thoughts, too.

This newbie is trying to make a name for himself by being loud & obnoxious... i've already pasted him throughout these threads but am appreciative that you're standing up for what's right.


btw.. what's up with the Chisora mugshot & they say you don't have a sense of humor!

[damuttz112]

My thoughts, too.

I think Wlad may be able to crack the Top 10, depends Although I don't see them doing anything much more significant, to be honest. Unless they eliminate Price, Fury, Wilder and Mitchell in the next few years.

I would say top 15 if he would have been around in a better era he would have broken into the top 10 comfortably. I can't think of any heavyweight throughout history that Vitali wouldn't have a chance of beating.
