Vitali is the equal of Wlad only has a much more proven solid chin and has proven on endless occasions he can go into the trenches in order to win a fight!!

Hope to god Showtime/HBO dont even give haye a second look until he has established himself in the division!!
lets start a petition to bring vitali outta retirement,,lol.

he was clearly the better fighter of the two
IMO at this point he has been gone too long...It has been 4 years and he is 36...by time he had a few tune ups and got back into forum he would be 38 or so and ready to retire again....I thought he was going to rule the HW division for as long as he wanted to when he became champion....

He had become so much less robotic and started to move freely in the ring....he dominated his opp to the point where it was nothing more then one sided beatdowns...He toyed with Williams and Sanders...half the time did not even bother to put his hands up for defense...Funny thing is his jaw was actually that good where no fear of being put out by 1 big shot..by even the best of punchers...

at 6'7 1/2" and averaging 250lbs without an ounce of bodyfat on him...a record of 35-2 with 34 KO's and while both losses are by KO on record no one ever put him on his ass to be counted out...Both were by injury...The shoulder in a bout that was a gift to Byrd and by one of the worst cuts in the sports history in a fight that he was winning on when facing one of the divisions top 5 all time greats...Yes Vitaly was a bad bad man...he would have toyed with the division today...He would have retired out of sheer boredom
