He's coming back and would you wanna take byrd's or rahman's chances of beating Vitali here on out for the rest of their career? I didn't think so. The byrd thing was THE luckiest break in boxing history and rahman isn't good enough to be "ducked" (his claim to fame is a ko against an out of shape lennox lewis who took him,lightly, ir efer you to the rematch). Why is Vitali a better champ despite his less refined skills you ask? Because Vitali was never dropped 4 times in 2 rounds to look like a helpless infant fighting a bear. He was holding his own against lennox (something wlad could never do) and thats his only legit loss. Yeah he quit against byrd and because of it byrd has been hyped up to something much better than he actually is but i'll take vitali over any boxer in this division right now given the fact that he is healthy.Originally Posted by Dorfmeister
Yeah, Punisher, that's reasonable, Vitaly never has been put in the situation Wlad was against Sanders and in Germany for God's sake... Vitaly held on to the Lewis attack and Wlad can't do that unless he "takes a knee" or clinches and pushes ya to jab ya once again. But I disagree in which concerns to Chris Byrd who is slick enough to discourage a banger like Tua... I also would not risk my House on Vitaly's health though, knee surgery, shoulder injuries, twice backed off Rahman to the point of that helpless 260 pounder becoming interim champ and then fighting flabby Toney to a draw and snore fest? I don't know if Jameel is gonna break the Klitschko's dream of "Brothers World Champs", man, 6'6'' tall McCline was 11 months in solitary in Attica, man!!!
