Those were the last days of the durable heavyweights. I dunno what happened?!?! Was it that the fighters hit harder with more skill now, or was it that these dudes were just badass and tough as nails?

Vitali was a throwback to the tough as nails days of Foreman, Lyle, Norton, Ali and Frazier. During the fight with Lewis, that uppercut in round five I think it was, would have decapitated a Rhinoceros.
