Why Do People Think Vitali is GREAT??

^ Your topic was just fine, man. :p

Bump...................

He is far from great.....he made his name by losing to an old out of shape Lennox Lewis..... lol,,I love how many still refer to lewis as old,,,like he was a total shell of himself. he sure as hell didnt look like a shell in his prior fight before vitali,,,,,when he totally destroyed tyson in a totally one sided fight. many people were picking tyson to win by knockout. anyway,,,it was bad luck that vitali was cut. it can happen to any fighter in any fight

He underachieved because of his injuries, we'll maybe never know how good he could have been. People shouldn't call fighters great because of potential, but because of what they have accomplished throughout their careers. I don't think Vitali has accomplished enough to be considered great at all. I personally think that Wlad has accomplished more than him and I don't consider him great. Well said.

ok 35 wins 34 kos, thats great. But vs who? Lets see Danny Williams Vaughn Bean Corrie Sanders Kirk Johnson Ross Purity Orlin Norris Now wtf kind of resume is this to be considered great? Those names are all heavyweight bums and those are the bigger wins on his resume. He couldnt beat a past prime, fat lennox Lewis. Now someone enlighten me and tell me how people would think he would give the all time great trouble or even beat them? Ali, Norton, Foreman, Liston, Frazier, Tyson all ko him before 6 rounds. He is far from great.....he made his name by losing to an old out of shape Lennox Lewis.....

Wlad is better and Vitali's KO rate isn't the best in the history, Mac Foster had 30 wins all by knockout. You might say that Vitali had the highest KO percentage of all HW champions but he was only a title holder really. If Vitali's comeback is a successful one he deserves respect but right now he is just another boxer who looked impressive against unimpressive opposition.

Have alway thought VK was very overrated and fought mediocre level of competition, WK is very underrated and has fought way better opposition that his Big bro...WK is very talented and for a big man can box like LL use to..VK on the other hand just fought easy opposition thus is high KO rate.

Vitali is a great fighter and he would dominate in any era if he was healthy. His kickboxing career cost him as a pro boxer. Vitali has had to deal with knee and back problems since. Every fighter has "fought" nobodies on every message board for one reason or another. The only fighters to face "real" opponents with "no excuses" are the ones who's nuts your swinging from it seems. Actually His steriod use in his early career cost him in the latter part of his career.

Vitali underacheived because of his injuries, his injury troubles are from his years in kickboxing and his transition from kickboxing to boxing. Vitali Klitschko was a monster and is capable of giving every great HW in history hell. He destroyed everyone he faced and he embarrased Lennox Lewis with 1 fucking eye, Lewis retired like a coward and turned a mega payday because he knew he would get KO'd by Vitali in the rematch. (35 wins,34 KO's 97 KO%) he has an iron chin, he has never been down. I am hoping Vitali can make a comeback and dominate again, it would be great to see the Klitschko's accomplish their goal of being World Heavyweight Champions at the same time. I could not have said it better.

I dont think either Klitchko is great.

Who ever said that Vitali was the ATG? Show me one legitimate poster who said that? He was a great fighter to watch, his fights were always entertaining, but injuries kicked in and he never achieved what he could have. And I think that he could give any of the ATG a run for his money, he was one tough SOB. Just like I thought, once you ask all those morons a sensible question, they disappear all of a sudden. Where the hell did all these idiots come from? This place became infested with morons and alts lately.

Despite what you think of him, how can you not have been impressed by the beating he gave williams? it was one of the worst i've ever seen. Because it was Danny Williams. Wlad's beatdown of Byrd was more impressive, as Byrd was a legitimate heavyweight contender and titlist. There's been a ton of brutal beatings in boxing. Nothing special about this one.
