That was meant for Wlad.Vitali is not an ATG,
he just didn't do enough, I am suprised to see so many replies, and so many people arguing on his being an ATG.
That said, Vitali is not the "jab-jab-grab" kind of fighter, he opens up quite a bit and relies on his chin. Even though way past his prime now, I would not define Vitali boring, on the contrary, I find his style rather crowd- friendly.
I do though agree about Wladimir being boring, and I like fighters like Rigondeaux , Mayweather , Willie Pep (a white guy, so no racist card please
) etc, but his "jab-jab- grab" style is a nightmare. How many rounds did it take him to dispose of Pianeta?, a guy who obviously had no business being in that fight.
I was liking Vitali quite bit once, but his resume is just not good enough at all to be considered an ATG.Comment

If Vitali had fought all on that list he would have had 70-80 fights. Taking out his 4 year layoff, he would have had to fight 6/7 times a year!
Obviously he can't fight everybody right! There is always gonna be a stone unturned. Even Holyfield didn't fight everybody literally!
Vitali I would tip to beat all on the list. Some of them there would have been no motivation for them to fight Vitali, early in his career. Later there would have been no motivation for Vitali to fight some of them!
Tyson - Vitali KO6
Holyfield - Vitali UD
Tua - Vitali UD
Maskaev - Vitali KO6
Rahman -Vitali UD
Ruiz - Vitali KO1
McCline - Vitali KO6
O'Quendo - Vitali KO3
Jones jr - Vitali KO3
Toney - Vitali KO4
Golota - Vitali UD
Brewster - Vitali KO5
Barret - Vitali KO3
Chagaev
Povetkin
Valuev
Dimitrenko
Chambers
Haye
Boystov
Thompson
Helenius
Pulev
Fury
Got sick of it let's cut to the chase. Only fighter he may have ducked was Rahman but I don't buy it. Vitali would have beaten that version of Rahman quite easy imo.
Only fighter I do think he'd struggle with is David Haye!Comment

Well from your list you of course fail to mention his opponents achievements, merely discrediting and ridiculing them to make Vitali look a lesser fighter.
You don't mention that Solis is an Olympic gold medal winner, that Peter was WBC champ, a feared knock out artist with notable wins over Toney and Maskaev, that Adamek is former two division world champ, that Arreola was knocking out guys in spectacular fashion being unbeaten himself at the time and considered Americas HW hope, that Hide was two time HW champ and won just about all of his fights by KO before Vitali demolished him, or that Sanders had one of the most devastating left hands ever with which he knocked out the HW champ Wladimir before giving Vitali one of the toughest fights in his career.

You're missing the point. He in fact did not fight everyone as you claimed. But had he fought some of these guys instead of his endless resume of unrated (top 10) or only WBC rated fighters his resume would have been much more impressive. He instead chose to take a soft path. For Christ sake, John Ruiz fought better fighters than Vits, beat them, and is considered one of the worst titlists in recent memory.Comment

lol.
1) Solis amateur record has nothing to do with his pro credentials. I've seen you slag off Haye's win over Audley Harrison, another Gold medal winner.
2) Notable wins over Toney? People thought he lost ffs! bet you never even saw the fight. Also, Toney was a fat, midget looking former middleweight.
3) Sanders, best left hand ever? You must be joking. He was fat and on the golf course in his mind, yet still managed to hurt Vitali.
