6'8, athletic, in great shape for each of his bouts, and his style was a throwback....people say James Toney's style was a throwback to the days of Joe Walcott or what have you, Vitali's was a throwback to the likes of Jack Johnson.....leaning back, popping the jab out when needed, he could box he could maul he could and DID knock guys out.

One of a kind fighter, won't see a fighter like him for a very very long time.



As for the injuries, dude was a kickboxer for a while, an amateur boxer for a while, and really had a lot of rounds under his belt already before he became a pro boxer so the wear and tear of that shortened his boxing career....hell of a fighter. If he was coming up these days he'd probably be in UFC
