WBC: Vitali best P4P! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7
That's mental!
I'm sure Ivan Drago measured 2250 Pounds of pressure per square inch, that's gotta be the hardest :-\
He is a good puncher but look at his last 8 fights
Gomez he should stop him anyway.
Samuel Peter limited boxer stood infront of VK all night used as a punchbag.
Danny Williams he should stop him easy.
Corrie Sanders ok puncher but poor defence and not world class.
Kirk Johnson not world class shouldnt last very long with Vitali which it never.Shouldnt of been considerd to fight the Lennox Lewis (KJ)
Lennox Lewis beat Vitali.
Larry Donald not the best lost to Kirk Johnson 2fights prior to fighting Vitali.
Vaughn Bean good record but did'nt fight anyone of note apart from Holyfield which he lost.
Vitali should be stopping or ko'ing these fighters he is a good fighter but he hasnt fought tough opponents.I know the division is poor but still there is decent fights out there.
Lol the WBC have just lost all remeianing credibility
What great fighter has Vitali ever knocked out?
Exactly, great KO record but he has hardly broke a boat load of granite chins.Quote:

Also, even though not evident from his KO% Ruslan Provodnikov hits really damn hard. I don't know how many of you saw the fnf from last week where you could see a huge indent on Almaraz's body while he was getting hit.

He still has to go out and KO the guys...there are a ton of variables in boxing. Scoring a KO is a tough thing to do...you have to deal with how you feel physically (arms, legs, hands, stamina, etc), the other fighter might not just be there for a paycheck, and hell even the ref can cause problems.Quote:

The WBC is just blowing smoke up Vitali's ass trying to get him to fight Oleg Maskaev instead of going to court
To stop 36 of 37 fighters, I don't care who they are is an impressive feat
Come on now. He just isn't is he:p
Does the same apply to Lamar Clarke?Quote:

Bit silly really....ok Vitali has KO'd a lorra lorra people, but...doesn't mean he's amazing, certainly not in this age of heavyweights. Not taking anything anyway from his achievements, clearly he and Wlad are the hugely dominating fighters in their division, just don't be daft WBC....don't be daft
As I stated earlier the WBC is just blowing smoke to keep Vitali from going to court with them
I don't know what goes on in the heads of these guys there or if they just have short memories but here are a few they seem to have forgotten off the top of the old noggin..
George Foreman...Massive puncher he did not KO guys he destroyed them
Earnie Shavers...Never won the big one and the chin was nothing to brag about but MAN HE HIT HARD!!!!
Mike Tyson....Not a 1 punch KO artist but a KO artist all the same,,,so fast..soo many angles
Jack Dempsey...He was called the Mauler why? Enough said
Rocky Marciano...The Rock could bang and beat many bigger men with his punch
Last but not least...
Lennox Lewis!!!!!!!....The man I consider the 3rd best HW of all time....Had a righ hand like none other....Vitaly was busted up by it.......
Vitaly may be stronger then some of these guys physically but as a puncher he doesnt cut it....
I don't rate him in the top 10 of all time as a puncher in the HW division
