Vitali Klitschko's Legacy

[j]

Hate thread..........

said it all with less than a sentence.

bro, quite a few people here have no life, so making threads like this as well as actively hating on people actually beomes a hobby. how pathetic.

he has no legacy...................

Exactly! His claim to fame was a TKO loss to Lewis.

[Easy-E]

L TKO 10 Chris Byrd
L TKO 6 Lennox Lewis


Oh wait, I forgot, he was winning the fights before he lost so they don't count.

He was also beating Hasim Rahman 4 times before he pulled out of every fight with a new injury.

Vitali doesnt have a legacy.

he coulda been dominant, had he been more prodcutive and maybe accelerated his career his faster... theres little doubt in my mind he could have beaten an aging lewis in a rematch and gone on to beat rahman, byrd, ruiz and unify the titles.... what could have been... in the end though, he had a short stay on top of a thin division...

Rahman sucks, he got a lucky shot on Lennox Lewis. Now Americanos still in love with the fraud, some fans say theres no such thing as a lucky shot. Thats the biggest bs in the world.

lol vitali doesn't have much of a legacy WHO HAS HE BEAT?? case closed

So says the guy with Tyson in his sig, Vitali probably beat better opponents then anyone tyson ko'd. Unless you think Spinks was a worthy opponent, or an old ass larry holmes who was passed his prime. I like Mike Tyson, but you have no room to talk **** about Vitali if you got a picture of Mike tyson in your signature. He was the king at ko'ing bums.

Does anybody really believe Rahman stood a chance? That's what's funny.

Vitali's legacy is a wierd one. He was never knocked down and never behind on the cards, and his KO % is the highest in history. He's probably in the top 25 heavies all time, somewhere a few spots below his brother.

But he has too few notable wins to count for too much.

In terms of talent and skill, a top 15 all time HW, in accomplishment probably much much lower.

C'mon guy, to be in the top 25 wouldn't have to have beaten a top 25 HW? His best win is probably, hmmmmmmmmm, I'm thinking...let me see...........Danny Williams Maybe? On second thought Corrie Sanders.

[Double]

Unless Vitali has a number of memorable fights vs. quality opponents in his 2nd career, I'd say 'legacy' isn't a deserving word. He's another decent HW who held a share of the title once.

sums it up best.

[EliteSoldier]

What was Tyson's best win? Over holmes or spinks??? Or was it someone else??? Too many **** talkers on here, to be coming at Vitali like the way some of you are.

He doesn't have a legacy, you have to have a substancial career to have a legacy. He will be known more for the fights he lost and how he lost them, rather than the fights he won and how he won them.

Once the Klitschko's got off the HGH they really became more and more injury prone, it's a common trait after HGH. The guys have some skill, but were never really that impressive to me....
