In a head to head sense, very few heavyweights would have ever been competitive with him, only a small handful had the goods to actually beat the man at his best.
That being said, in terms of resume he just doesn't have one that will hold up in comparison to the dominant champions in history, his brother included. Obviously, this is a shame since he had the talent to be one of the greats.
I particularly liked how Steward mentioned that Vitali is an intimidator. I don't think Haye was scared of Wlad, but he was shook senseless by Vitali. There was some footage around the net of Vitali stealing Haye's cowboy hat off his head during and interview and wearing it himself, and Haye just stared at him, there wasn't **** about it. It was the moment I knew Vitali already had him beat, just from the look on Haye's face. Needlessto say, David never even signed the contract.

What do you guys think?
...Vitali is nearly unbeatable. Injury stoppage is the only chance anyone, except maybe Wlad, would ever have to beat him. If he doesn't get a fluke injury, he dominates. Still, one of these days age may catch up to him in the ring.

Vitali would always find it difficult against Lewis. Especially prime Lewis. The whole 'up on the cards' thing is academic as his face was practically a slab of raw meat whilst Lewis's was pretty much unscathed. The ref says "Protect yourself at all times" for a reason ...

.....I still say the really nasty cut was caused by Lewis tape hanging off his glove and causing a slice that started it all. If not for the cut Lennox was going to get thumped.
