Vitaly had to stop against a two-time world champion who is probably getting into the IBHOF because of a torn rotator cuff that required surgery while he was ahead on all the cards. Tyson quit like a punk against a bum journeyman without any injuries. Lewis ducked Byrd like a coward and instead fighting him decided it was the smarter decision to dump his belt in the trash rather than face the slick Byrd. Diva Hayefaker faked an injury to get out of a fight with Wlad and is now opting to retire at 31 because he scared of facing either Klitschko. Which one of these is the bigger stain on the status of these fighters? Who is the biggest d*cker and coward of all these?
Quitting. People have paid for their tickets, the fighters have trained, and promoters have invested their money in building the fight...all for the fighter to get in the ring a quit.
Another unexplained thing about Lewis is his satisfaction from the result of his 2 rematches and not taking rubber matches to display superiority .
McCall was in no condition to fight in 1997 and probably Lewis' promoters / managers used their money / connections to make sure it was McCall that time instead of someone else which may have resulted in either an unavenged loss for Lewis (which the first McCall fight still is to this day) or a future rematch with McCall which Lewis could never win the way McCall made him his bitch in 1993 . McCall was , is and forever will be Lewis' booty daddy. Fact the fight was signed when McCall was still hospitalized in a rehabilitation institute . Why did the WBC ignore this fact ? maybe Jose Sulaiman will tell you . Lewis will always be 1:1 against Rahman and 0:1 against McCall . They could cancel Tyson's win against Golota because Tyson was on marijuana which is not a PED legal or not . But they definitely allowed McCall to fight against Lewis in 1997.
Both fights were won beacause they both landed money punches on the button. Lewis displayed his dominance when he easily beat McCal and when he KTFO of Rahman. Your obviously a hater of Lewis so just give it a rest.
lol lol another proove that vitali is a pathetic champ that no one respects.
Vitali has no heart
You better "quited" with the internet you illiterate crack baby and start hitting the grammar books or go back to get your GED, because your post is more "proove" of the typical ignorance of a Klitschko hater.
Looks like Vitali got owned.
Not really, they are self-admitted haters, that option clearly states "I know he was injured but I am a hater so I will pick Vitaly anyway". You can't really take a hater's opinion seriously.
the worst duck ever, was wlad sending his big brither to beat the semi retired golfer, that put wlad on his ass.
what a wuss
I agree that should have been an option to
I would say the worst is pulling out of a fight with a terrible opponent to play golf instead.

Tyson lost his money because he was and probably still is an idiot .
But he still earned more than Lewis . You know why ? 2 reasons :
(1) he was more talented / skillful
(2) he had more years of pro fighting and a lengthier career .
Lewis missed some 5-6 additional big fights he could have fought because of his additional 4 years and something delay.
Lewis was an idiot and gained shiet from his amateur career , except of course .. his gold medal. Was it worth it ? actually for Audley Harrisson and Jermain Taylor it was , but at least Taylor didn't waste additional time on remaining amateur after 1 olympiade , and didn't win gold either .
Winning gold is a good way of getting better starting conditions (first contract) , but fighting 4 years as pro , if successful , can do the same , ask Tyson. The thing is , Lewis could never succeed as quick as Tyson did , and he knew it . He also wanted nothing to do with Tyson during Tyson's prime . Lewis would have been stopped by Tyson back in 1986-9 , granted that Lewis was pro by then .. Still after he turned pro it took him 13 additional years to fight Tyson. Do you know why ? because Emanuel Steward knew the truth about him back then , which is also why the waited for McCall to enter rehab so Lewis could fight him in the right time .. Same for Wlad fighting Brewster when he came off retina surgery and Tarver fighting Harding the second time . Most of the most impressive on paper heritages are based on corrupt acts and cheats .
LOL....do you realise how stupid this argument is? You're saying Lewis stayed amatuer to duck Tyson rather than fulfill his goal of winning a Gold Medal.
It becomes even more stupid when you bring up the 13 years thing. You do realise Tyson went to prison? Are you suggesting Lewis knew this would happen? :lol1:
And it was Tyson who continually ducked and delayed a meeting with Lewis when he got out of prison.
Its also funny you mention some bull**** about McCall. The reason that fight happened is because Tyson dropped the WBC title rather than face Lewis. McCall and Lewis were 1 and 2 in the WBC so it was mandated.
a lot of haye haters and vitali haters on here muahaha :lol1a:
not really, the reason ppl vote for vitali is the biased poll of the TS, his own poll is owning him.
the TS is insulting every fighter in the poll, except vitali, thats why vitali is getting all the votes, even vitali fans dont like threads like this.
i didnt even vote, the poll is a joke, the whole thread is.
btw. vitali is not a quitter, thats sure.
none of us is in a position to tell, how it is to fight a professional heavyweight like chris byrd with an injured shoulder.
thats why i'm not calling him a quitter.
and as far as i know, he was very angry when the lewis fight was stopped.
Im still failing to see your point. Lennox won an Olympic Gold, made millions and retired rich and on top.
What happened to Tyson?
Oh yeah....ooops.
Get him told Diggler, he's talking sh*te!
What a genius .
Why work really , money comes and goes .
Olympic gold definitely worth 4 years of a man's life (not to mention it was more than 4 in Lewis' case , he was an amateur since before the 1984 Olympic games)

It was obviously the right choice to "quit" instead of risking a career ending injury like a lot of boxers do, it's one thing to fight on with a broken jaw, bone heals, cartilidge doesn't. There is a reason why Vitaly is a PhD in sports science and why he was able to come back to the sport after 4 different types of surgeries and still dominate at 40 against guys 10 years younger than him; he knows his body and he knew if he continued with that shoulder, he might never fight again. It's a lot more shameful and unexcusable not to quit.
The reason Vitali majored in sports science is so that he can develop a steroid that transforms him to an elite fighter.
The thing is though..you cant cheat nature no matter what shortcuts you use. Putting jet fuel into your automobile may allow you to go fast for a while but sooner or later things will fall apart.... Because it was never intended to go that fast. Just like Vitali was never intended to beat a fighter ranked above class D!!!!
Saying Haye is ducking the Klitschkos is like saying Wlad was ducking Holyfield in 1997. Haye only had 1 fight at Heavyweight and wanted to get some rounds under his belt before he fought a Klitschko....nothing wrong with that.
Rapist Tyson was 38 years old and shot to hell after being destroyed by Lennox. I cant blame him...
HBO did not want Lewis to face Byrd because they knew Byrd had 0% chance of hurting him. Byrd had 0% chance of hurting Vitali, but Vit is so remarkably stupid that he swung and missed 370 times trying to outbox a supermiddleweight No wonder Vit threw out his shoulder....

I voted Vitali, because once you enter that boxing ring there is NO QUITVitali is the biggest disgrace to boxing since Wlad was defeated by a guy with 20 losses.

Regarding the poll, Haye is the worst ducker. Vitali is the worst "quitter", he quit whilst leading by a mile on the cards with a couple rounds to go. I never understood that. Yes he may have been injured but people have fought through worse. He did go on to show his fortitude against Lennox, in fairness.

So I see the haters are out in force, as this poll has confirmed, half the people on this site are rational and unbiased boxing fans as they picked either Diva Hayfaker, Rapist Tyson, or Lewis as the biggest duckers. The other half of the people are self-admitted haters of the Klitschkos. That's the reason why it's so fun to come on here after every Klitschko victory. Keep seething in jealousy and anger you f*cking haters, the Klitschkos are ATGs and rule the HW division while destroying all of your heroes and favorite fighters. Must suck to see two Ukrainian brothers ruling the flagship division of boxing. Klitschkos = GOATs.
