Comments Thread For: Vitali: Joshua Got Lucky Against Wladimir; I'd Knock Him Out!

[Flabble Scrote]

Vitali was a beast, we all know he was better than his brother, maybe a bit less fast and power but pretty much indestructible and a real fighting instinct.
Physically he was a beast despite being not overly muscular, he would have worn down Joshua and walked him down late I think.

No such thing as luck in the ring. He threw the punches and they landed.

That's what referee thought but slowmo doesn't lie.
If those landed Wlad would fall for the 3rd time in last round. But they didn't.

LOL, THAT version of Joshua.. the version that was dropped and almost stopped?

Yep... 18 fights in
Found his second wind and ended the career of a dominant he at weight!

Stay retired Champ ..

It's justifiable that Vitali should be ranked in the all-time top 10. Vitali's 2 loses have foot-notes & loss reasons but were legitimate loses. Vitali never could get the Byrd or Lewis return-fights due to boxing politics. Vitali was winning both (Byrd & Lewis) fights on the score cards. Sadly a return-match for a premature 38yr Lewis retirement never materlized.

Vitali = GOAT Heavyweight... never been dropped, high KO percentage and and unstoppable jab and 1-2. He would have KO'd Lennox if that fight continued, and forced Lennox into retirement.

We finally agree. H2h Vitali is the best all time. Nobody beats him more than a few time if fought anyone ten times. Lennox got lucky to have escaped that one with a win. Vitali would have won a rematch.

Lennox beat his face into pulp that's why the fight couldn't continue!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Lennox > Vitali

Vitali still got the better of Lennox and nobody else can say that. His two losses came against two miracle flukes. Vitali actually out boxed him and hurt him several times. A younger Lennox would have got knocked out without his survival skills being so masterfully honed.

A prim vitali would wipe the canvas with Joshua.

**** a prime wlad prob would have won an easy UD

Old shot reflexes Wlad knocked Joshua down. No way prime Wlad doesn't knock him out. No way.

Vitali’s the man he’s probably too old but I’d still like to see him against Joshua

[Elroy The Great]

''got lucky''

yeah, you love your bro but it wasnt luck.

put the words away and make it happen, vit

[TexasCowBoy]

No, he is the third. Corrie Sanders was the greatest, and Lamon Brewster the second greatest.

Ross Puritty barely manages a fourth place.

Hahaha.....how do you figure????..besides your bias showing due to what????....oh because I didn't say ali....well if you think the 70's steelers could defeat the Patriots of this.century....apples to oranges???? No because todays athletes are bigger and faster.....
