Vitali Klitschko: Will He Get Into the Hall of Fame

lol vitali long reiging HW champion, regardless who he fought... yea he'll get in the hall. the real debate is who's greater, vitali or wlad

Of course. :boxing:

If Calzaghe gets in, Vitali gets in. What? Calzaghe has wins over hall of famers.

Wins over Chris Arreola, Corrie Sanders, Kirk Johnson, Tomasz Adamek, Kevin Johnson, Samuel Peter are probably his most noteworthy. He is also quite "fame"ous. Will he get in, and does he deserve to? Please don't use the Gatti/Mcguigan analogy. If Calzaghe gets in, Vitali gets in.

Vitali is top 15-20 HW in my book. That makes him HOF, but not ATG IMO.

guess you missed the 2 times he lost. that's a shame. those were also coincidentally the 2 times he fought someone good. so weird. so if golovking retired right now he would be unbeatable because he beat a lot of bums? seriously just stop. he beat no one good. dude,,,you underrate vitali about as much as the fools that overrate him making him a top 10 atg. the byrd fight was obviously a fluke loss. he was winning handily till he tore his shoulder. in retrospect he did the right thing by quitting instead of risking permanent injury. he doesnt have a phd for nothing. he knew when to call it a night and as far as the lewis fight goes,,,im not even going there as the topic has been beaten like a dead horse

Please don't use the Gatti/Mcguigan analogy. he's a lock for the hof but hes not a top 15 atg. his reume just doesnt put him there altho head to head hes at least competitive with most. its a shame he lost his prime years to injury or he potentially may have made it there arguably

I would kick half the current hall of fame out. He will get in, but by my standards he isn't. Baseball has the best model for a HoF. Whats that? Sorry I don't follow baseball

Who gives a **** about HOF anyway. The man wrote history in many senses. All the haters can suck my wiener. You're right... TKO 6 http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/06/26/article-0-00671F4E00000258-728_306x396.jpg http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/00123/sport23SNS2356A_123549a.jpg http://www.boxingscene.com/media/data/500/20305Lewis_Uppercut_Klitschko.gif

what does this even mean? he hasn't done anything significant in boxing. Calzaghe >>>>>>> Hopkins.

Given the standards of the IBHOF inductees, then yes. He is a first ballot shoe-in.

By definition he's NOT an all-time great. Whether or not he's an ATG heavyweight can be debated in terms of how you define it. But he's not a top 100 fighter of all times based on all weigthclasses. His resume is simply not strong enough - at all. However, he's a HOFamer. Yet you define Joe Frazier as an ATG. Your hypocrisy and double standards speak volumes. Plus you think Haye is better than Wladimir. What a joke of a poster you are.

Name your favourite active fighter and I guarantee I can nitpick his resume just like this. no you can't. name one great fighter who only beat guys that were in terrible shape? are you going to say sam peter, corrie sanders, chris arreola, derek chisora, kirk johnson were in great shape? are you going to lie? why is it ok for heavyweights to be in sh-it shape? don't you realize that's a bad thing? don't you realize it effects your speed, movement, and stamina? the klitschko's know this. they always come in shape. vitali always picks guys in terrible shape for a reason. the only 2 classical boxers with boxing pedigree knocked him out. the dude's a bum. the guys he beat were just fat guys that like to throw punches. adamek was a come forward fighter at 175 who took punches to the face, then when he got to heavyweight he became "a boxer" because he was fighting fat guys who couldn't move! fat guys suck! you don't get credit for beating fatasses. name one great fat heavyweight. they don't exist for a reason. it's like naming one fat runner that won the marathon.

just look at one of vitali's peers hasim rahman. the guy beat much better fighters than vitali. the guy fought much better fighters. lewis, sanders, holyfield, tua, toney, ruiz...the guy fought all types of styles unlike vitali. rahman fought much better versions of sanders and lewis. yet people think vitali is better because he knocked over a bunch of tomato cans and cherry picked for years. vitali even ducked rahman 3 times! this dude is a fraud!

ok lets actually take vitali's resume out of the garbage and look at it. first relevant fighter he fought was byrd and he looked dreadful against someone that moved. yes he was winning but byrd has no offense and he was still getting to him so he quit. next relevant fighter he fought was an old immobile lewis and he hit him with power punches over and over and didn't budge lewis. where was vitali's mythical power? lewis was stopped by 1 punch twice. lewis was starting to beat up vitali and the fight was stopped. next relevant fighter he fought was fringe contender kirk johnson. giant whale with terrible movement. obvious beatdown. next relevant fighter was corrie sanders who was also a giant whale but gave vitali all he could handle until he gassed out because he was so fat. next relevant fighter he fought was sam peter. concrete feet. huge fatass. another guy with terrible movement and stamina. see the trend. next relevant fighter he fought was chris arreola. another slow whale with terrible movement. stood right in front of vitali. next. next relevant fighter was solis? is he even relevant? no. next. next relevant fighter was adamek. terribly slow even at 175. even slower at heavyweight. sitting duck. next relevant fighter was chisora who is pretty fat and comes straight ahead. still gave vitali a real hard time. Name your favourite active fighter and I guarantee I can nitpick his resume just like this.

yes he knocked him out. tko. they don't have a word for "i quit" RTD, it means you gave up.

That a stoppage win, is a stoppage win. Haha. that was an epic fail. "I boxed as an amateur in the cruiserweight division" :lol1: I never said it wasn't a stoppage win, but "stoppage" and "knockout" are not the same.
