What's the problem with Vitali?

Maybe if someone can get close enough to make him fight, we'll see some excitement, maybe Rahman will be the one, who knows.

Dude, I don't agree that LL was coming back in that fight. I think that VK isn't an all time great, just a big fighter that is able to use his physical attributes effectively, just like LL, only a little less fluidly, but to imply that he isn't even worthy of holding a belt, that's reaching, I can't agree with that.

Lets face it VK is the best of a mediocre bunch at the moment. Although he beat on Danny Williams for the whole fight he struggled to get rid of him, when he shouldnt have. For the record I beleive Lewis was and will probably always be regarded as a better fighter than VK. VK may have been ahead on the cards when the Lewis VK fight was stopped but at that stage of the fight but Lewis was working his way back into it and if the fight had gone on he would have made such a mess of VK's eye that I dont think it would have ever recovered well enough for VK to be in the position he is today - keeping the belts warm until we find a fighter worthy of some real excitement fighting for the belts

his stamina and he could use a lil speed. Actually he don't need all of that against today's heavyweights.

You can't be the Heavyweight Champion and 'Squat when you pee'. Should I go on? are you talking about Lenox Lewis?

You can't be the Heavyweight Champion and 'Squat when you pee'. Should I go on? You've seen this guy pee? Jeez lol

You can't be the Heavyweight Champion and 'Squat when you pee'. Should I go on? Yes, please go on. Please explain what you mean?

He's 35W - 2 - 34 Ko, a 97% ko ratio. Only one man out of Vitali's wins has ended the fight on his feet. He's never been knocked down. Nor has he ever been behind on the score cards at the end of any of his fights. Including his two losses. Aren't these the kind of qualities we look for in a champion? Some complain about his style being too robotic, but the numbers don't lie. He is effective and takes his fights out of the judges hands. Lewis isn't going to come out of retirement, he's not that stupid. Would a rematch and victory over Chris Byrd win over some of the doubters? What is it that you don't like about Vitali? You can't be the Heavyweight Champion and 'Squat when you pee'. Should I go on?

All the VK haters really need to give their fingers a rest and stop looking like idiots. If you haters came out and just plainly stated that VK is unproven, I would respect that. But, NO, you have to bash him by calling him robotic, having no skills, posing on magazines with his brother, etc. Your arguments have no credibility and show how little you respect the sport. VK is fighting the best that will accept the fight to begin with. You don't think VK wants to whip Byrd, Ruiz, and Brewster to unify the titles? Why don't you start a thread about how these guys are ducking VK and how they are the biggest pussies in boxing? That's how most fans see it. Don King is one reason, but the fighters do have a say, after all, they do pay Don King's salary. DK and the other BS champions are all at fault and they should be criticized by the fans WAY MORE than what VK is receiving on this thread.

Brewster is beating Golota That actually could be a decent fight, but as much as I like Golota, if he doesn't win early, he isn't going to win, IMO

God, I hope that happens. Out of the top fighters, I could see Toney taking Ruiz's belt, Byrd taking it from Toney, and VK taking both from Byrd. Not sure what's going on with Brewster, so I'll leave him out for now.

you know the good thing about this running vitali klitschko argument is that it's all gonna be solved over the next two years, as all the belt holders fight each other (i hope)... since i haven't seen ruiz or byrd fight yet, i'm not sure who i think is gonna come out on top, if it ends up being one of those three at all...

tyson loss cuz his knee was weak vitali quit in one of his loss a real warrior dont quit. and lennox beat vitali so bad his face looked like raw meat. vitali is not good he is just filling in for right now til tyson wins back the title. I think it's better to quit and not injure yourself further than being knocked out by Danny Williams

Maybe he should rematch Danny Williams first. tyson loss cuz his knee was weak vitali quit in one of his loss a real warrior dont quit. and lennox beat vitali so bad his face looked like raw meat. vitali is not good he is just filling in for right now til tyson wins back the title.

vitali is a paper champion he is not very good when mike tyson fights him he will knock out vitali. Maybe he should rematch Danny Williams first.

Rahman doesn't have a belt, Byrd does. Its not that difficult. vitali is a paper champion he is not very good when mike tyson fights him he will knock out vitali.

Vitali should quit ducking Byrd. If he's fighting Rahman, how is that any different than fighting Byrd? They're both King fighters. Klitschko fears Byrd. Rahman doesn't have a belt, Byrd does. Its not that difficult.

Vitali should quit ducking Byrd. If he's fighting Rahman, how is that any different than fighting Byrd? They're both King fighters. Klitschko fears Byrd. i think if you do a little bit of research, you will find the answers .. and maybe even change some of your opinions, if your mind is open to truth..

How about respectable competition? He's beating who's there, he'll get to Byrd soon enough, as if that fight needs to happen, only Byrd lovers think he would beat VK in a rematch. If you tried to disguise your contempt for the white fighter, it might make your posts more credible, at least until everyone reads them.

Please tell me the fighters the robot has beaten. He's lost every times he's been in with respectable competition. competetion so crappy, that several previous HW champs favored his competition almost every bout since before Lewis till now? Are they just racists? or does that mean in their minds VK's oppenents are respectable competition? Are they someone you would trust as knowledgabe about boxing skills?
