WBC officially declares Vitali the Greatest heavyweight puncher ever.

[NakiFan]

The Greatest fighter Pound for Pound?

The Greatest Puncher in History?

WERE THEY SMOKING CRACK?

[Roger Yomama]

I could KO my wife every weekend and go 52-0 for a year. That's a 100% win ratio right? A 100% KO ratio too. Level of competion isn't a factor in statistical analysis so I must be the greatest of all time surely?

No. I didn't think so either.

[Verstyle]

I love watching him systematically break down his opponents.

How is that not exciting? Because he's so good it's one-sided?

This I will agree on.

The WBC has declared reigning heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko to be “the greatest puncher ever in the heavyweight division.”

Official WBC Statement: “[Vitali] Klitschko proved that he is the best fighter in the world nowadays, pound for pound, after defeating Juan Carlos Gomez who had a record of 35 knockouts in 44 wins and only 1 loss. Klitschko has outdone all other fighters, no matter what division they belong to. The heavyweight world champion is the only one who can claim he is the greatest champion in the world of boxing as nobody can defeat him. With Vitali´s extraordinary wins, in fights that have been stunning to world fans, showing absolute control and power, our king of the heavyweights has silenced many mouths and media that had unfairly attacked him without any evidence, and been disrespectful to him, considering the great class he is showing. Jose Sulaiman, president of our organization, stated today that Klitschko is the pride the WBC as well as he is the pride of world boxing. Vitlai Klitschko’s record is now: 37 wins; 36 of them by knockout, and including his last win by KO, his percentage in this specialty went up to 97.2%, fact after which Klitschko is placed as the greatest puncher ever in the heavyweight division.”

Wow, that is SHOCKING.

He hits damn hard, but... the hardest ever?

George Foreman hit harder for sure, and many people think Shavers hit much harder than Foreman... I've just never seen him punch other than when he drilled Holmes.

great champion but they should also declare him the boringest guy in the heavyweight division as well

Uhh, what? I hate heavyweight fighting... it bores me, but, Vitali vs. Gomez was a pretty solid heavyweight fight. Vitali is active and punches hard... there isn't much more to ask for.

david haye has a chance of beating him...........

Okay... name one fighter who moved up from cruiser and kept even a fraction of his power... GO!
