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.
Fair points bro, I can dig that
we need more guys like you on this forum. The flipside, is that I've always loved watching Lennox Lewis, and Vitali had my boy beat until someone stuffed a golf ball in his eyelid that is. From that point on and a few fights before I was incredibly impressed by Vitali. He was the man, and if he came back then he'd be the man again. My opinion.
Remember the good old days, we miss you Marco!
