Damn that’s one scary looking dude. I feel like a mortar shell would bounce off his forehead

Well he was heavyweight champion for awhile who was known to have granite chin. Definitely someone not worth messing with.

It's so weird. I remember watching his fights when I was younger. I looked up to him as a boxer that never up.

He is still the same as Mayor. One cold and hard mother fucker that just keeps going. No matter how hard he has it.

Ukrainians are a different breed

Some of the nastiest wars being fought in the same land for centuries will carve some fuckers out of stone. Poland/Ukraine - Galacia, there are some brute force genes found there, but it’s brains to keep one alive, so smart and tough.

:) love to hear it!

Tracing my family tree had me learn it as some great great grandparents had it written on tombstones as their birth place. It’s crazy how borders change and empires have come and gone and there’s really just too much human history to learn in school.

He almost beat Lennox Lewis. Not just a lucky shot like McCall or catching him slacking like Rahman. But by going toe to toe with him and outboxing him in some respects. Lennox, in my opinion, is the best heavyweight ever. Nobody has looked as good as Vitaliy did against him.
