Let's just put this into perspective. Imagine if Jermain Taylor had got up from the knockdown to Kelly Pavlik and that in the next round opened a bad cut on Pavliks eye and the fight was stopped giving Jermain the ring.

Now imagine Pavlik retired after this. Would he be in the hall of fame? Hell no, he hasn't even won anything yet.

It's the same with Vitaly, he picked up a vacant belt which he defended against Danny Williams, AND THAT'S IT!

What else did he do? Wow he was ahead by two rounds against Lennox Lewis before being stopped on cuts. Whoopdy doo
