Yeah but like GAME says he has looked wobbly & personally I thought that the Sanders thing was a legit KD. Smaller guys like Forbes & Duddy have also never been down despite often being smaller than their opponents which to me is more impressive than Vitali holding it together, because let's face it, he's a shitload bigger than almost all the guys he's fought.
Also you could argue that guys who've had few legitimate KDs like Andrade (only Yusaf Mack ACTUALLY put him down & he got off the floor to KO him), B-Hop (only ever KD at high altitude), Mosley (possible headbutt) or Toney (flash KDs when unbalanced) all have greater claims to granite chins than Vitali.
