Vitali's mythical poor resume pt 2

[LacedUp]

No props for winning against and ATG like LL? Pleeease.

When did Vitali win against Lennox Lewis? I must have missed it. Otherwise, did Charr also beat Vitali? What about Solis? Most people thought he won the round. Frazier beat Ali in Manila? What about Cooney, did he beat Larry Holmes too?

Damn, all this time I thought winning a fight meant winning a fight. How wrong I was.. History is not as we know it! Winning 4 rounds and get stopped on cuts now counts as a win.

Lol. You claimed that they were top 10, I did not. I provided you evidence that they were not top 10 in the annual rankings, and now you also want me to prove that they weren't top 10, even though you were the one who claimed I hadn't done research AND they were top 10.

Since you must have done the research, I'm sure you can jus find your notes and show us they were top ten. Otherwise you are just shelling out baseless nonsense in order to elevate his resume to a place that it shouldn't belong.

As always I'll wait for your proof..

Looks like something we saw earlier in this thread. Now just from the other side.

You do realize that a still maturing Wladimir stopped Ray Mercer right?

Mercer was in his prime in '90-'94. Big props to Wlad!!

I've given him props in this thread for that. I had him easily ahead in that fight before it was stopped. Props for taking LL to the limit. I think VK would have won that fight if not for the cut. (But the cut did happen.) I think that VK would be favored in the rematch. (But the rematch didn't happen.)

Now what? We know from both the Byrd and LL fight that VK had talent; and was competitive at the top level. But.... unfortunately his resume doesn't push him into ATG status.

It's not my job to prove such ignorance

vitali has never been down. hes never been behind on scorecards either and only lost on injuries. He gave Lennox a lession and is one of the greatest HW of all time

[Boxing Goat]

Shame it's a paper belt and not the true heavyweight championship of the world.

So by comparison, he's quite far off the others.

Oh you think so?

That was the WBC belt dating back to Ali's lineage as I said before in this thread.

Think again naysayer.

Not only that, Vitali was the Ring champ and never lost it in the ring.

What say you?

What say you?

[Grimmer]

What does it take to be a 'true' champion?

To be considered "the man" to beat in the division.

Wlad can make that claim, Vitali cannot.

Yeah. As if it was on you proving another posters postulate wrong.

Either one backs up the claim made or STFU. Like jab did.

He was 'the man' when LL retired wasn't he?
