Why does Vitali Klitschko deserve the Ring belt?

As I said. This Thread is Dead. I win again.

nobody really does in the heavyweight division, there needs to be and undisputed champ to erase all doubts.

4 Reasons Chris Byrd John Ruiz Lamon Brewster Vitali is a class above all those guys. Yeah, he probably is better than all those guys, but you win the heavyweight championship, not have it handed over. He has to prove he is better than those guys by beating them in the ring, he shouldn't be crowned champion based on him being better on paper.

Let me fix that for you McKay! 2 Reasons Chris Byrd Lamon Brewster Vitali is a class above all those guys. Ruiz kinda sucks...ok, ok, he REALLY REALLY Sucks...Just look at the supreme owning he got from Tua! And Toney...lol

VK is good, but in realism to say that he is better than Lewis is just stupid. He needs to prove himself, as everyone else has had to do...Holyfield is was Bowe and Tyson, Lewis it was....Marciano it was everyone, Ali it was Foreman, Norton, and Frazier, and Tyson it was Spinks and Holmes. Personally, I would say that Holyfield in his prime, or in the Tyson fight, would rape VK in his prime, so would Lewis, and Tyson...Of course...And maybee Spinks. Oh and Green, can't forget Mitch Green, first man to take Tyson the distance I beleive, and actually won a round!!1 :D

well i think vitali is the best champ we have had sense Holyfield You do know that Lennox beat Holyfield? Since that fight Lennox was the Undisputed Champ, who defended by exposing Grant, decisioning Tua, walking through Botha, avenging Rahman, owning Tyson and TKO'ing Vitali. So far, your Best Champ has held the WBO Belt (now that's an impressive strap!). He's beat a fat old tired boxer-golfer Corrie Sanders, a fat unconditioned mentally-weak Kirk Johnson, and then he was TKO'd by a fat disinterested Lewis. Vitali might prove to be the Best Champ Since Holyfield, but he is far from that right now. Maybe by securing a few of the other Champs belts, and then solidly defending them, you might then be able to lay that claim.

Lennox did not take Vitali seriosly but he did take a good beating before opening cuts on Vitali. I think he did retire to avoid fighting Vitali again but not because he couldnt beat him. (i think he could take Vitali apart if he was 100 focused) but because he realized he had to train hard again to beat him. So he said fuck it i will retire and live the good life.

Bryght - I just got a copy of that fight a few weeks back. I've watched many times and really couldn't have cared less who beat who, except that I wanted a decisive win. It didn't happen. By the way, why do you start a Thread if you can't take the heat? Is "believe whatever you like if it helps you feel better about yourself" supposed be taken seriously? Also, when you say "Enough said. End of discussion." are you supposed to be serious with that shit too? You can start a Thread, but then it's not your baby after that. However, one way to really end the Thread is to stop defending what you started. As you have. Fact is, Vitali couldn't take-out the version of Lennox he had in front of him ... a less-than-conditioned, uninspired, past Prime Lewis. Lewis' throwing rate was low, as usual, in this fight. Vitali was very very busy. Vitali owned Lewis in the 2nd Round, and then stayed busier than lewis after that. I had Vitali up 5 rounds to 1 at the stoppage. But, to say that Lewis "feared" Vitali is just simple-minded. Also, how about you watch the tape my friend (right now) and you'll see Lewis moving forward for most of the fight while Vitali does a pretty good job moving back, setting and poppin' Lewis, but without a dominating effect except in the 2nd. Lewis faired not much better than Vitali in this fight. It was a plain shitty swan song. But, Lewis was owning Vitali in the 6th, without having to blow-his-load doing it. Vitali did not respond well to those last big shots and his legs were not present in the last 15 seconds. I predicted Lewis would maintain his very slow uninspired production in the next rounds, while continuing to get popped by Vitali's ineffective shit. Remember that Vitali was banging on Lennox Lewis' chin all night and Lewis was moving in and taking more leather. Lewis didn't give a fuck if he got hit, 'cause it didn't do the damage you'd expect from a big guy. Simply, Vitali was not gonna' keep that pace going and was gonna' take just one too many power shots, in a later round, and be too tired to lift himself off the canvas. By the way. Lewis won on a TKO stoppage. I saw that when I watched the fight. After wathcing it six or seven times, that result didn't change.

Bryght, we missed your bitterness. Where have you been? Your hatred of Lewis obviously clouds your judgement of him. You say you watched the fight, and I'm sure you did but your bias shines through. I assume your an independant writer because nobody will hire you? :D Having said that, I agree VK should fight Byrd to decide who should stake claim on the title.

Regarding fear, Lewis kept coming forward, even in round six. Fear doesn't usually make you march forward like Lennox was doing. Regarding being exhausted let's be fair, both guys looked like shit. If Lennox was exhausted, then what do you say to Vitali hangin' all over Lennox in order to remain vertical at the end of the sixth? Regarding being knocked silly, I believe Vitali was almost decapitated at one point and also had a little cut around his eye? Well, I actually watched the fight. I don't know what you were watching, but you go ahead and believe whatever you like if it helps you feel better about yourself. The bottom line hasn't changed...Lummox Lewis retired to avoid Vitali and that's a fact. Lewis has ducked so many times you'd swear someone was shooting at him. Enough said. End of discussion.:D

Jimmy Bryght should find another vocation, maybe writing fiction. Mr. Not-So-Bryght claims that Lennox was being knocked silly and was exhausted and you could "smell Lewis' fear". Regarding fear, Lewis kept coming forward, even in round six. Fear doesn't usually make you march forward like Lennox was doing. Regarding being exhausted let's be fair, both guys looked like shit. If Lennox was exhausted, then what do you say to Vitali hangin' all over Lennox in order to remain vertical at the end of the sixth? Regarding being knocked silly, I believe Vitali was almost decapitated at one point and also had a little cut around his eye? Vitali's loss to Lewis is so-far the highlight of his career. Add wins over Sanders and Williams and you've possibly got the weakest "legacy" in the history of the division.
