Klitschko fans conundrum

[QueensburyRules]

Wlad isn't Vits. Vits ducked his WBC mandatory against Rahman. Several times.

- - U laying wif hogs ain't right.

WBC was 100% Vit, hence his return after 4 year retirement to go on an unprecedented WBC run plus he's still emeritus meaning he could come back for another title shot

Actually he did. He said during the Johnson camp he wanted one more fight before retiring, either Vits or Jones. He got Vits, won and sailed off into the sunset.

On the HBO broadcast of Vitali vs Lennox, pre fight interview with LL revealed he was planning on beating Vitali and having more fights, no names mentioned. I have the VHS tape. But the Vitali fight changed those plans.

What I admire about Vitali is that he wasn't a coward like Lennox Lewis or Holyfield. He didn't need performance enhancing drugs like Holyfield. He also didn't duck a rematch with Lewis after beating the stuffing out of Lewis for the duration of the fight. Unfortunately his skin didn't hold up which was probably due to a headbutt.

Lewis skin is genetically different so it's understandable that he didn't receive the same damage from the headbutt.

In 1996, when still an amateur, Vitali Klitschko tested positive for a banned substance and was removed from the Ukrainian boxing team.
When did Lewis ever quit in a fight?
No head butt, no difference in their skin except the colour

Want to compare how many top ten ranked men Lewis fought to how many Vitali did ?

And in an interview during the Johnson camp he said what i said. What does it really matter? The man won and had every right to retire. Only butt hurt klit fans feel otherwise. Why aren't you talking about Vits retiring to avoid Rahman?

And that's OK. That's how the decision to retire usually comes about. No shame in it.

Right, there is no shame in self preservation and dodging a very risky fight against a beast. Mayweather made a fortune and career out of it.

Ok, so we agree Vits dodged both a Byrd rematch and Rahman than, right? I have no problem with Lennox retiring for whatever reason you want to say. But let's play it fair here.

No, he let Byrd go free to set up his brother for an easy title. Rahman faded away into irrelevance. Everybody knew he was going to be KOed by Vitali.

Everybody knew Byrd was going to get ko'd by Vits too. But it didn't happen. You don't get to skip mandatory fights because of what the fans think.

- - Vitali retired twice.
1-Leg Surgery followed by laying the groundwork for his political career.
2- After he beat up everyone who would fight him.

Please do tell us WHEN Vitali avoided Rahman and don't avoid U comical answer so we can all have a good gaffaw together...
