Vitali Klitschko, the last great heavyweight

[them_apples]

very underrated, and levels above Wlad in every category - Vitali was likely the last great heavyweight champion.

if he was in his prime today, Wilder, Fury and Joshua would be journeymen.

Not speaking on behalf of his resume, which I think is also underrated - Mostly from just viewing his fights and style.

Vitali had so many qualities that made him great:

6 ft 8, Iron chin, good defense, not lifted or blown up (natural size) which means better stamina and agility. and most of all HEART.

You can argue all you want, but Vitali would toy with Wlad had they ever fought.

I would say he was in route to taking Lewis's title that night. Maybe even stopping him late.

Accepting that his shoulder was actually hurt that night against Byrd, he has only lost due to injury. At the time of the stoppages he was winning on the score cards in both fights.

IDK has he ever been KD?

Would you rate him above Wlad?

- - I'd rate them #2 A &B...

Heavywt division still in shock from the abrupt emasculation of the US Empire.

No, never knock down. The video shows good Vitali's good defense.

When creating such topics, Fury is usually put in the same brackets as Joshua and Wilder, and I get very angry about it. This is making you look moron not cool.

Vitali was H2H monster but Fury is even better in this department. Vitali got butchered by past prime fat Lewis at his prime and his narrowly scorecard advantage doesn't change this fact.

1- Tyson Fury
2- Lennox Lewis
3- Vitali Klitschko

Top 3 H2H ever.

And what makes you think Fury would beat Lewis.

Terrible resume.

[ShoulderRoll]

Very poor resume. And with the Klitschkos it's always a fair question to ask about PED use.

We know for a fact Vitali tested positive in his youth.

What does PED use disqualify a fighter from in these discussions, to you?
