Give me your honest thoughts on Vitali Klitschko and his position.

[Randall_Hopkirk]

If anything mentally Lewis was the ***** and got scared into retirement by Klitschko, and thats the hard truth.
absolutely

You could claim Vitali is the '*****', after all who has been ****ing on about this fight for the last four years? A fight he LOST. He needs to let go and prove something of worth in the ring, obviously injury is threatening that.

I remember his "..he destroyed my dream of fighting Tyson." remark towards Danny Williams, a win over Mike, at any stage of his career would have given him some credibility (he thinks.) He knows he's a blip on the HW boxing landscape having not achieved what his talents initially promised but, he lives too much in the past.

Quitali Quitschko is on par with 80s titlists such as Greg Page, Tony Tubbs, and maybe Tim Witherspoon if you want to be nice.

But Witherspoon fighting about even and probably deserving the decision over champion Holmes was better than anything Quitali did.

Vitali is better than those old chumps

Of course not.
But I have the personal feeling that he is not injured. I think he doesn't have it anymore, or he just wants to be talked about.

What would make you think he's not injured? Why would his camp lie? Why would he go through the trouble of going through the press conferences, interviews and everything else if he never wanted to fight?

Just because it's something YOU would do, doesnt mean he's a coward who doesn't want to fight.

luis santana= the luckiest world champion ever.

vitali was fortunate among recent years, but is nowhere near luis "gimme an oscar" santana.

Lol funny that you say that Lewis made Klitschko his *****, when in reality Lewis was the *****, who promised a rematch and sat on the title for a year before being to scared to fight Klitschko again. If anything mentally Lewis was the ***** and got scared into retirement by Klitschko, and thats the hard truth.

He had a choice of either to defend his title once again against Klitschko or retire. And he retired, yes we can really see who the ***** is huh?

Lewis rearranged Vitali's face. Vitali is a good fighter but Lewis beat him on his worst day, thats the fact, an old out of shape Lewis beat him, Just Imagine what Lewis would do to him on his best day.

Everyone wanted to see a rematch but Vitali lost that fight via TKO and Its not like Lewis signed some contract for the rematch...otherwise Vitali would have taken him to court by now.

You had me up until the "betraying Peter" part...

Like Sam Peter has anymore business fighting for a Title... Since he got Shoutout by baby Klit, The knock downs not withstanding.. And beat a FAT over Hyped well past his sell by date 5'9'' Middle weight...

If that is your argument.. Then I deserve a Title shot too..

Samuel Peter won an title eliminator not once, but TWICE and Vitali came after he lost in politics after 3 Years, How can someone who was'nt active for 3 years, cant take tune up fights because keeps getting injured while training get a direct shot? OK he has that status he can come whenever he likes but when he knows he will get injured why disappoint his fans? he has been injured so many times while just training, he postponed the Rahman bout 4 times costing the fans every time cuz they probably bought tickets and all, he would have beaten Rahman anyway but thats not the point he kept disappointing the fans, not that he is doing it on purpose cuz Vitali is a nice guy, but boxing is just not for him anymore because he is having too many injuries most of them coming from his kickboxing career...

That fast 5'9 middleweight would have beaten most HW's and you know that, and was'nt Peter/Klitschko scored 114-111? WK fans act like it was a onesided fight when they were nervously watching Wladimir hit the mat so many times thinking the fight could end but with the help of the new holding tactics he did win, it was a clever strategy, and once the fight is over the scores are announced all you see is WK Fans talking about like it was a onesided fight, You know it very well Welter Peter was in that fight all the time and Gave Wladimir the toughest fight he ever won.

i am glad vitali was not able to cut in line and fight oleg for the wbc belt. peter deserved better.

what was the point of the wbc naming vitali champion emeritus anyway? he had a horrible wbc title "reign".

Only in your dreams, does Vitali have the type of resume, achievement, and wins over HW contenders of his time as someone like Witherspoon in his time.
