I think anyone who knows boxing would know that guys with that size, speed, strength, and skill would be a tough match for any HW fighter that ever lived.

In fact I would pick them to give a whipping to a lot of consensus top 10 guys. They definatly deserve a lot more respect than what they are given. For two brothers to rule a division like this is remarkable.

Vitali would be a world champ in any era of the sport. The guy is technically the perfect fighter and just seems unbeatable.

Only heavy of the last 15 years that beats vitali is lennox and maybe even a prime early 90s holyfield.

Just such a shame his legacy will be tarnished by the fact he never got fight great fighters
