Bilbo, no one but YOU is trying to draw the comparison to Ali.

Vitali didn't stay in the limelight too long but when he did he was effective and he knocked people out and that's the long and short of it.

He lost 2 fights vs good fighters and he had some tough breaks in those fights...he answered all the questions that were asked of him.




And if you see the right cross Vitali landed in Round 2 vs Lewis you would realize that the fight was almost over right there....Lennox had to hold on for dear life.

I personally think there should have been an IMMEDIATE rematch a la Ali-Quarry. However I accept that Lewis wanted to retire with the title....I honestly feel Vitali was going to KO Lewis in the rematch anyways and he knew it too
