Vitali Klitschko Is So Amazing He No Longer Requires Any Defense

Yes, unlike you he's already realised how laughable the current heavyweight division is.

Sonsowski and Briggs were the best fights he could get after beating down Peter, Gomez, Arreola and Johnson. You need to ask Haye why he b****ed out of a contract and keeps running, and also the rest like Povetkin, Valuev etc... Solis is possibly the best marquee fight out there after Haye, and VK's fighting him in two weeks.

Soon Vitali will be so good he won't need offense either. He'll just dance around the ring and fighters will get knocked out by the sight of how amazing he is. :rofl::rofl:

To sy he'd beat Ali or Forman or any of those guys is crazy there just inshape faster harder hitting heavyweights that make the heavy weights today look like fat a$$ kids

Good original post but it could have read: I was watching Vitali vs. Hide earlier tonight and I came to this conclusion. In 99 when Vitali fought Hide, he had a fairly orthodox style. He kept his hands up, especially his right, his left moved between his waste and shoulders, but it was fairly orthodox. Watching vitali over the years his hands keep getting lower and by the time he fought Briggs the quality of the opponents were so p*ss poor he didn't need any defence. He faces so little in return from his opponents (no fault of his) he has gradually learned to the use just his height, reach, a little footwork and a ram-rod jab as his defensive mechanisms.

Solis has pretty fast hands, when he wants to. I think Vitali did himself a disservice fighting two very poor defenses leading up to this fight. Peter, Arreola and Johnson were decent opposition after a four year layoff. And Vit's complete domination of those fighters was pretty impressive at his age. But then his opposition took a turn for the worse and I figured well he's pushing 40, maybe he wants a few stay busy fights while he waits for Haye, or was planning on retiring and wanted to go out with some wins. I'm going to have to see what weight Solis comes in at before making any predictions, but I think Vitali's going to have to work harder in this one than any fight since Lennox. I don't think he's going to be able to get away with his hands down style, leaning back. And if Solis comes in under 240, Vit's footwork might get him in trouble. If the lazy, bloated Solis that fought Austin shows up (which reports say is not the case,) easy win for Vitali, but I think he's going to have his work cut out for him. Indeed. Solis is in with a real shot at beating Vitali. Still I agree that his weight is an issue as well as his inexperience at the pro level.

The big difference here is speed. Hide is way faster than Briggs, Sosnowski etc. I bet that Vitali adjusts his defense if/when he meets a speedier opponent.

Agreed that vit has the size, power, chin, temperment, boxing iq, Awkwardness,and arsenal to compete in any era (as evidenced by the lennox fight). I think baby bro is missing 2-3 of those components. I just can't see an argument being legit that states otherwise, Lennox certainly can and he had his hands full in a big way with vit. That's the fight where vit learned and everynw learned what kind of fighter he is. His confidence blossomed after that losing performance. It's a shame he's never had a worthy rival since.

it probably helps when these are your opponents sam peter-253 pounds-nearly collapsed of fatigue during the ring walk chris arreola-251 pounds-blob kevin johnson-242 pounds-why does a guy who's supposed to have a slick style weigh more than a house? albert sosnowski-224 pounds-sosnowki came in good shape but unfortunately he knew nothing about boxing and when they put the gloves on he called them mittens shannon briggs-262 pounds-fat blimp who couldn't cut it in the 90s. keep in mind great heavyweights who were just as tall like foreman, norton, holyfield and holmes weighed around 215 pounds give or take a little. these guys just suck and aren't even in fighting shape.

I was watching Vitali vs. Hide earlier tonight and I came to this conclusion. In 99 when Vitali fought Hide, he had a fairly orthodox style. He kept his hands up, especially his right, his left moved between his waste and shoulders, but it was fairly orthodox. Watching vitali over the years his hands keep getting lower and in the Briggs fight he kept his right at waste level, his left below his waste unless firing it, literally he stands there in front of a puncher like Briggs, with fairly good size and reach, with hands completely down below his waste and he doesnt get hit. Guys try to counter him, but he just leans back and seems to have some sort of 6th sense in knowing what his opponents will do. He is the most in shape 39 year old, with tons of experience, he is also well studied in the sport and for every fight. I think right now he is the best he has ever been at avoiding getting hit and its too the point where he requires almost no clinches and no defense. The advantage this gives is beyond dodging punches, but Vitali saves energy not having his hands up, he also can protect his body better, but it also allows him to throw punches from countless of angles that most boxers would not be able to properly train for. I mean seriously, how many fighters could get in the ring with guys with 75% KO%'s + and stand there with their hands down right in front of them and never get knocked down...you guessed it nobody. Im a fan of Wlad too, and Wlad is the better athlete, the bigger puncher, but I think this 6th sense of Vitali is something Wlad lacks and this unorthodox style to me is unique and would cause anyone in history a ton of problems. I mean Vitali Klitschko would make big George Foreman look like little george foreman and Vitali has more angles to punch from with his style, he has better stamina and brains than Foreman ever had, this current Vitali pushing 40 would have beat the Ali Foreman fought with such ease its hilarious. You know why Ali didnt stand toe to toe with Foreman...because he couldnt. Vitali is bigger, stronger, and meaner, he's smarter, and he has more endurance, but also he'd be throwing from more angles and he does what Foreman didnt do in Zaire...HE USES DISTANCE AND BACKS AWAY FROM COUNTERS. He alsow ouldnt let Ali push down on the back of his head. Its almost like he's bored now, or he just respects no one else, I wonder if when he spars with Wlad if he keeps his guard down at all times? He knows whats coming at all times and if he has a weakness its in the clinch where he often doesnt tie up his opponent quick enough...thats really about it. His comeback has been one masterclass of domination after another and why Haye gets a squeaky bum at even the mention of the name, Vitali. I also think he'd currently match up against any past HW, prime Tyson included.

You make it sound that he would have been a threat without an injured arm :lol1: Briggs got knocked the fuk out by Lewis years and years ago.. the win meant nothing for Vit.. his resume is horrible 100% prime, onefight before the layoff in 1967 Ali couldnt knock out a past prime Ernie Terrell, who lost 3 times that year, in 15 rounds that Cleveland Williams (before being the gut shot cripple Ali beat) KO'ed 5 years before in 7 rounds. What a fraud Ali is.

Vitali just hasn't faced anyone with any kind of speed. He could not fight with his hands down against a fighter as fast as Haye. Some of you guys seem to be in love with these guys just because they are white. In reality, they are not that good and they are owned in nearly every poll for a reason. I wonder what polls would have said for Douglas over Tyson..99-1? Polls just expose mindless sheep. I dont vote in them cause who cares, 100,000 morons on the retard forum can claim 2+2=Cow, but that doesnt mean its true. The speedy guys tend to not have the power nor the chin to keepVitali honest, a preprime Vit destroyed Hide in two and Hide was pretty damn fast.

Well he is a old boy like BH but dont fight like him. He dont hug you like a baby like BH does to catch a breather.

Bored and respects no one else...cause there's no one in today's heavyweight division lol

Heavyweights have got worse and Briggs injured his arm in round 2 so wasn't much of a threat.
