Wladimir was always a paper chump but I been said it for years Vitali was legit...

Better chin and was a more organic fighter as opposed to Wlad who was a one dimensional robotic stiff...

That era was still trash but if it wasn't for those two injuries (shoulder against Byrd and cut against Lennox) I think Vitali would be more highly regarded by folk...
I see what you are saying even though I don't really agree on Wlad
I think Wlad really learned his lessons from his early KO losses and developed a system which made it possible (with other factors too) for him to rule for so long. Ironically it became his demise later when he became so safety first minded that he couldn't switch gears against Fury until the very last round.

Vitali probably would of won that fight if it wasn't stopped because of the cut but its important to put that fight in correct context...

Lennox spent the majority of his camp training for I believe Kirk Johnson...Vitali was Lennox mandatory but Lennox chose to fight Johnson first as a tune up...Vitali was fighting on the under card that night but Johnson got hurt in camp like 2 weeks before the fight...Rather than cancel the event Lennox agreed to fight Vitali that night...
In other words Lennox was not training for Vitali and it was evident by his :flabbynsick:conditioning he didn't train much at all...Same Lennox that fought and got put to sleep by Rahman showed up that night...That was not the ATG Lennox we know...
I would still favor vitali vs a prime Lennox.

If Fury is gonna stand out tonight and control the ring to a knockdown late, it has to be a prolonged body attack. But Wilder makes people pay for engagements...Wilder has ALSO gotten pretty damn good at hiding that right hand for that explosion.
