IMO at this point he has been gone too long...It has been 4 years and he is 36...by time he had a few tune ups and got back into forum he would be 38 or so and ready to retire again....I thought he was going to rule the HW division for as long as he wanted to when he became champion....
He had become so much less robotic and started to move freely in the ring....he dominated his opp to the point where it was nothing more then one sided beatdowns...He toyed with Williams and Sanders...half the time did not even bother to put his hands up for defense...Funny thing is his jaw was actually that good where no fear of being put out by 1 big shot..by even the best of punchers...
at 6'7 1/2" and averaging 250lbs without an ounce of bodyfat on him...a record of 35-2 with 34 KO's and while both losses are by KO on record no one ever put him on his ass to be counted out...Both were by injury...The shoulder in a bout that was a gift to Byrd and by one of the worst cuts in the sports history in a fight that he was winning on when facing one of the divisions top 5 all time greats...Yes Vitaly was a bad bad man...he would have toyed with the division today...He would have retired out of sheer boredom

i wasnt being serious,,and i know what your saying, he had his time,hes like all the true greats you only mis em when there gone.
his day has come and gone, after lewis retired vitali had the chance to cement his place in heavyweight history.
Unfortunately there was nobody out there to fight, watching vitali beat up bums like sanders/williams was almost cringeworthy!!
Will still remember with great fondness the first time i ever saw the guy fight against herbie hide. Hide talked up the fight like no other and claimed this apparent unknown was going to get hurt badly.
1 minute into the fight and herbie was dumped on his arse by a devestating flurry of punches and the fight was as good as over!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
