Top 10 Vitali Klitschko Heavyweight Records
1. Only man to KO his first 27 opponents.
2. One if NOT the only one ever to win a heavyweight belt & still never reaching the scorecards (WBO)...pretty sure he's the only one but it's open for dispute.
3. Highest Career KO% In history 39 ko's in 44 fights = 88.64%
4. Only man to have his ONLY 2 defeats due to controversial injury stoppages while well ahead of both guys that beat him. He won 12 of the 15 rds (80%)
fought in those incomplete fights on ALL judges scorecards. Could easily be 50 -0 & have the best winning % of alltime but injuries also caused him to take a nearly 4 yr layoff & stall his career.
5. Only professional kickboxing champ to later on become heavyweight champ.
5a. Only man never to go down to the canvas this long into his title reigns.
6. Has fought 209 rds in 44 fights & has NOT lost more than an equivalent of an entire fight (12 rds) in his ENTIRE career on judges scorecards..even when he lost he won 80% of those rds before succumbing to injury.
6a) For those of us that are math challenged that's a scorecard being read in his favor more than 94% of the time. He loses 1 out of every 17-18 rds he fights.
7) OnLY man never to throw less punches than his opponents in EACH & every one of his fights.
8) Only man to land more punches than his opponents in each & every one of his fights.
7a)8a) This includes power punches thrown & landed.
9) His punches landed to given ratio is by far the biggest discrepancy in heavyweight history. Translation.... the punches landed on his opponent.. compared to the punches landed on him is far greater than any other heavie's offense/defense ratio.... MJ in basketball is the most dominANT in Nba history just for an example of offensive to defensive transition.
10) Only man his size 6 ft 8 250 lbs that has achieved this type of dominance.. This means....with his combination of size..skills.. talent & strength... he'll always be the favorite in a head to head matchup with ANY fighter in boxing history.. Highest BER (Boxer Efficiency RATING) IN heavyweight history by far.
In closing.. for one fighter to have this much dominance over his peers & to have the BEST numbers in heavyweight history but NOT be considered as one of the very best when he's actually been the very best & most dominant heavyweight is beyond me. His Boxing PER is so far greater than anyone elses it's not even funny
