I could have sworn this would be Vitali's last fight.

Vitali's ATG Ranking?

Lennox and Ali.
Although prime Lennox vs prime Vitali is still 50:50 for me. I could elaborate on this but I don't think their fight gave an answer who is better and I think both fighters were off their primes' in that fight. Lennox physically and Vitali tactically (experience).

People love to rag on Vitali's resume, and while it might not be the best.......the man can only fight who is currently active at the time. Nothing you can do about that. But people seem to forget, this is a 6'7 foot beast (in his prime)....size ALONE, would of given ANY ATG heavyweight a fit. Then you factor in his boxing skills, awkward style and iron chin.........if you don't think this man could give any of the top 10 ATG heavyweights a run for their money, you're just being plain silly, IMO.
Resume: not the most impressive. Then again, how many ATG HW's in GENERAL were fighting prime Frazier's and Ali's every night?
Head to head: I'm not even going to say he would win or lose.....but he would make a COMPETITIVE fight with any ATG heavyweight, in any era...ever.

The correct answer is that there is not enough info to render valid ATG ranking status.
Not enough solid data point with solid opponents other than an aging Lewis. The answers that are provided before are and will remain highly speculative guesses.
