    Plenty good enough when the 6-5 in title fights George Foremen is considered an ATG.
    Foreman beat Joe Frazier 2 times man...what atg did Vitali beat

        They don't really have a choice at the factory.

            Ate himself out of Boxing and kinda just gave up and started show up to fights Fat and out of shape like he had no Training Camp

            Yeah I remember Odlanier Solis was a Amateurs and Olympic Standout and I remember the news when he Defected with Gamboa I think that was around 2006. Let his talent go to waste a bit by not getting in shape and I guess started to show up in whatever shape for the $$$

            Love Cuban Fighters and their styles especially in the Amateurs BUT the problem with Cubans and the Pros is that they're too damn Discipline and Technical. Seeing this with the Barthelemy Brothers, they're just too stuck into those Cuban Amateur habits of slapping their way to the Cards but in the Pros fights are longer than 3 or 5 Rounds so it is not as effective.

            Also the Cuban style is not built to deal with Relentless Pressure! They all kinda fall apart when you apply that Pressure on them. Also Cubans don't like to fight on the inside at all because they're never really trained to do so

                Foreman was 6-5 in world title fights and you don't have to beat an ATG to be considered an ATG, obviously, but that's definitely not to say that he wouldn't have. Vitali was also a 1st ballot HOF'er as well, btw.

                  BS, not only that, grazing temple shot's KO fighters all of the time. It was a clean KO. The knee BS was just a way to salvage the mans reputation seeing as how he got f@cked up in one round. Both his legs/knees were Jell-O.

                    Because he got jelly legged by Vitali
                    Wrong. At the time there was vids going around clearly showing the leg giving way as Solis moved in, before Vitali even landed.
