Is Vitali Klitschko a top ten HW fighter of all time?

In their primes... I would not pick anyone in the history of Boxing over Vitali apart from Maybe Lewis. Too big, too smart, too defensively adept and far too strong for virtually anyone in history including Ali, Frazier, Foreman etc. Come at me.

Completely dismantled Adamek last night who was thought to be a legit contender. His resume isn't strong but in terms of the fashion he is beating these guys is quite impressive. Vitali gives any heavyweight hell. There is a difference between Wladimir and Vitali that is; Vitali was born to fight. Where guys rank depends on a whole bunch of subjective whatever, but I'll say I could see Vitali beating a lot of guys on my Top 25 and at least one, Marciano, in my top ten. 11-25: http://www.boxingscene.com/-top-25-heavyweights-all-time-11-25--25446 Top Ten: http://www.boxingscene.com/-top-25-heavyweights-all-time-top-ten--26161

Of course he isnt,his resume is paper thin.Whats his best win?

Come on bro. Rahman scored a lucky shot that floored Lewis, but 9/10 Lewis destroys Rahman ANYWHERE. When I mean got the better of him, I'm talking outboxing Lewis and winning rounds. Rahman lost practically every round vs Lewis up until the punch, you see? Vitali was winning on the cards and having a war with Lewis. Vitali lost the fight due to a cut, something he could do nothing about. You aren't impressed sheerly because of the opposition Vitali has faced. Due to his lack of names on his resume Vitali will never get any credit. Vitali has destroyed practically every opponent has never look in any real danger. You seem very biased towards the past, that fighters in the old times are just better. Vitali has the assets and tools in his arsenal to not only give ATG trouble, but to beat them. Vitali domination shows he is a force to be reckoned with in any era. Are the Klitshkos the best heavyweights in this era?Yes Are the current heavyweights crap at the best and s.h.i.t at the worst?Yes Are the Klitschkos the cream of the crap?Absolutely Now going back to the old days,brav you just need to watch those guys.The speed alone of those guys was phenomenal.The old school guys are just better and the new guys at the moment havent managed to eclipse them.To be honest there's no variability to the Klitschkos' game and while they are effective against these slobs and midgets they are currently fighting,they are not all time great.Calling them all time great means they would be able to fight against the guys in the past and hold their own.I'm afraid not.When they got their chances against the old time fighters who were way past their prime,they failed miserably.Sanders wiped the floor with Wladmir and Lewis did his thing against Vitali.People still talk about cuts on Vitali,boxing gloves caused those cuts.The fight had to be stopped for Vitali's sack.

top 15 :boxing:

Have you forgotten Lewis had losses before he face Vitali?What do you mean no man had gotten the better of Lewis,someone even knocked him out. The big man small man theory here doesnt work because Vitali is average at the best and his defence is based on the jab and one man back.He's not fast and his shots can be seen coming from a mile away,just sad he hasnt faced good fighters apart from the fat version of Lewis.You need to watch old fighters,their movement was confusing and their speed just undescribable.ali was faster than welterweights.Vitali's chief weapon is his height,Lewis neutralised that reach advantage and see what he did.The so called strength is overated.He landed flash shorts on Lewis and he couldnt hurt Lewis,Lewis meanwhile chopped that face. The old heavyweights were complete boxers,good defence,ring generalship,movement,power and accuracy.Vitali I'm sorry I'm not impressed Come on bro.

To say Vitali would not last two rounds with Foreman, Ali, Listen is very quite shallow. No offence, but you must be delusional to think Vitali would be quick work for these heavyweights. Let me tell you something; Everytime a good big man dominates a good small man - its more evidence a good big man beats a good small man. Great smaller man will nor beat Vitali, he is strong, to big, hits to hard for these guys. All I hear is Lewis TKO6 Vitali. Let's get this straight5 - Vitali was never outclassed by Lewis - No man had gotten the better of Lewis prior to the Vitali fight. Vitali gave Lewis hell in there, something previous fighters never got close to doing - No fighter in the fight seemed remotely superior to one another. Vitali has arguably got better as he's aged. Any version of Vitali is competitive in any era IMO. Have you forgotten Lewis had losses before he face Vitali?What do you mean no man had gotten the better of Lewis,someone even knocked him out.

his resume is pathetic so no not even close His resume isn't great as stated. Id like to add right now Vitali is looking flawless at this stage in his career and would be a dominant force in any era.

I dont see how Adamek could be a genuine contender.The dude is not a heavyweight.I think you need to watch some heavyweight fights from the past,see the speed,the head movement,slickness and power from the past.The Klitschkos are the best of the crap.There are no heavyweights at the moment,just overblown super middleweights with limited boxing skills. I dont hate the Klitshkos,it's just that they are not good fighters,they wouldnt spend 2 rounds with Foreman or ali,or Liston or whoever you pick from the past.Only problem nowadays is anyone with a different opinion is called a hater because people cant stand the truth To say Vitali would not last two rounds with Foreman, Ali, Listen is very quite shallow.

Lies! Sanders has hardest left hand of ALL TIME! (Doing my best Kiltschko fan impression) No one disputes that.Sanders was a great fighter and Hall of Fame material when he was fighting.Problem is by the time he fought Vitali he was a golf player and farmer not a boxer.He didnt even train for the fight and he gave Klitschko fits in the first round.Everytime he through shots he rattled Vitali I get what you mean though and LOL

wladimir might be.......Vitali isn't
