Vitaly never impressed me. His claim to fame was a gutsy performance against an aging out of shape Lewis. A fight he lost. His following fights were against nothing formidable.

It may make the division more interesting, but his brother would beat him like a drum. Its also a fight we'll never see.
Maybe thats an indication of the state of the division at the moment. Or, its a graphic and disgraceful show of hateration on your part. Vitali is a technition.
No "hateration".
Just my honest opinion. I just think hes limited. He uses his physical gifts(height and reach) to their maximum. Doing that doesnt make him a technician.
I do think the state of the division is a mess. Talent and promotional wise. I give Wlad a thumbs up for wanting to clean out the division. That would indeed make him the man.
I dont hate Vitaly, he just hasnt done a damn thing to make me think hes a great heavyweight. Beating the likes of fatboy Johnson, golf pro Sanders, and Williams doesnt cut it for me.
