Agree with you somewhat here - As I think Vitali does do this to a great extent - However, he has hit a number of people very clean and they have stayed up - (I have thought his hitting power has been a little over-rated and over-hyped now for a couple years......His fight last night Vs Williams only further proved it to me....He is 250 + pounds and he hit Williams CLEAN more times than I can count on both hands.....and Williams kept getting up..... While Vitali does have a big punch....(I'm not saying he doesn't...he does)....he does not have the power associated with a 12 rating -
