Those are fighting words.. provide the data for this, Sure Chris made him miss. Vitali is NOT the first slugger to miss against him....if you can provide evidence that he's made all the fighters who threw power shots at & hit nothing but air & then had a rotator cuff injury,,then I WILL acknowledge your post.
I keep it real.. chris did aid in the process as if Vitali was hitting him more consistently he wouldn't have had the severity & pain that his shoulder exhibited.. at best it's the opposite & Chris gets no more than 20% of the credit, Vitali obviously had this problem before he entered the ring that night.
Exactly. Vitali had shoulder problems before thus making him miss was essential.

It all comes down to who lands the first big blow, we all know that Wlad doesn't throw his right hand very often and every punch Haye throws is with power.
Yes, each of the 12 punches he throws per round will be powerful.
That punch Vitali landed on him didn't even hit him cleanly. It was a grazing punch. That "KO" win had way more to do with Solis' foot slipping than the punch Vitali landed. And the lunging he was doing was genius... Blocking all of Vitali's punches on the outside, then quickly lunging in and hitting him cleanly with his superior handspeed was a great strategy...If only he wasn't so fat his knee might've held up.
An in shape Solis would beat both Klits, IMO.
I agree, there was a big chance of him winning that fight if in better shape.
The only real danger for Wlad would be Prime Vitali Klitschko and Prime Lennox Lewis.
Be much more than dangerous for Wlad, it would be his worst nightmare.
As would Prime Tyson.
As it is, Prime David Haye will be atleast dangerous and potentially disastrous for him.
Don't forget PRIME FINE CHINA chinned MOORER... HOLYFIELD cracked that chin before Foreman did & was stiffed on the decision while nearly having a heart ulcer during the bout. Foreman couldn't do that to Holy & JUST to show how whack Moorer's belt tenure was HOLY KNOCKED him down another 6 times in the rematch. After that fight Holy was perceived to be invincible & atop of his game.
As for Vitali he just beat the most touted amateur fighter in the past 10-15 yrs.. destroyed him actually... that's a phenom for ya & LL was getting beat during the fight.. whatever happened outside of the squared circle is boxing politics... in the ring is where it counts & Vitali tapped that a$$... unless you think boxing is a beauty contest & you're judged strictly on your mugshot.. which is what occurred.
You think boxing is a points cotest ya cunt. Stop posting. You have no leg to stand on.
First of all Evander & Bernard Hopkins already beat his oldtimer's record.. just didn't receive credit for it... Funny how we are bragging about Big Georges knockouts when he FACED even more cans than Vitali throughout his career. He had 2 chances to break Vitali's record 27 ko's to start a career & failed to do so.. letting a can or 2 off the hook.. Vitali had to break his shoulder for that streak to go by the wayside
Prime Undefeated Moorer > Everyone on Vitali's shtty resume.
Even Steelspammer is to embarassed to list the names Vitali fought.
Vitali has never beaten anyone who was considered a phenom or a great fighter.
I was equating him to Vitali's size so all things would be equal if you DON'T mind. I took your hypothetical one step further.. seeing as you didn't pin 7 ft 2 pack vs Vitali as you knew better.
For all things to be equal, Manny would have to be about 6ft 1 and Vitali would need a Mexican tache and King Tut beard.

True, other fighters miss against Byrd. But Vitali kept going for mindless volume instead of quality.
Here is what happens when Byrd gets hit with a Quality Heavyweight punch.
Vitali doesnt have that kind of one punch power. Thats why he failed to KO Byrd. It takes 3 Vitali punches to equal one good Heavyweight punch, thats why he throws so much.
Goes for Big George's record... brilliant! as soon as Vitali makes 40 yrs old. he will automatically be the most dominating 40 yr old of alltime beating Bhops record.... .
Vitali has to go to 45 to beat Georges record.
Foreman was similar to Vitali in that he KO'd a lot of bums late in his career. 68 KOs total But Foreman beat several fighters above Class C while Vit is still a virgin in that category.
Btw.... don't even try to think a 6ft 8 Manny Paquaio beats vITALI kLITSCHKO... mannu WOULD be too aggressive for his own good & get himself ktfo sooner rather than later. 6 ft 8 Floyd gives him some problems as he would be attempting to make Vitali miss all night long. Vitali hates those defensive slick fighters that JUST bank on his shoulder giving out... see KJ & cHRIS bYRD for that.... 2 of the 5 who survived without getting ktfo by him.. Floyd could see the final bell if he doesn't offend at all & just stays in the pocket concentrating on D WHILE WINNING 2 rds tops in a unanimous decision loss. Don't get me started on 6ft 8 versions of Sugar Rays. Peeple think just because you;re the same size as VK IT GIVES YOU THE AUTOMATIC RIGHTS TO STEP TO HIM..... I DON'T think so!
I didn't say 6ft 8 Manny, I said 7ft 2. With a bowl cut. Please pay attention in future.
I'm sure swinging them golf clubs put him wonderful shape for boxing :jerk0ff9: Corrie Sanders was a joke. As far as his standing in the boxing world he may as well have been Colonal Sanders. And Wlad got KTFO out by him. That's like getting KTFO by Chuck Wepner :puke:
Poet
Let me guess, Sanders didn't train at all for the fight because he was a part time golfer who fought once a year like most other fighters. Makes sense. I heard a couple of other boxers are good at basketball so they are part time basketball players.
Vitali Klitschko's statement after his 1st round knockout win over Solis
"I was inside the ring and I saw many, many times on video - the fight, and there is only one clear answer. I prepared the punch, half uppercut/half hook. I prepared this punch and I feel that I hit him pretty hard. Solis was knocked out, what happened after that, where he breaks his ligaments or his knee - it's his problem. I'm sorry the fight was so short. The next fight, I promise not to hit my opponent for the first three rounds, and then I'll knock him out. With Solis there are no excuses, this was a knockout punch"
Fair enough and i can see his point but I don't think Solis wouldn't even make an effort to continue... He was injured and yes technically it was a KO punch but that wasn't the reason he didn't continue.
