Klit resume's

[Chunk..]

You're a dellusional Limey ****

Vitali beat up Lewis and scared him into retirement. That's a FACT.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102

scorecards - all 3 judges had Vitali clearly winning the fight 4-2

I lost a lot of respect for Lewis when he retired like a coward.

Lewis won the last two rounds before the fight was stopped for Vitali's life was in the balance.

The fight was turning in Lennox's favour. The doctors saved Vitali's life! As a fan, you should be grateful for those doctors who had Vitali's life in their hands!

LOL. You lost all respect for him when he was born black you racist ****.



To the OP - What can the Klitschkos do? They are beating everyone around right now. The quality of the opposition is not the best, it isn't their fault. You can only beat what is put in front of you.

I'm not saying it's their fault, I'm just looking for the justification about their reputation, when they can't back it up with decent wins is all.

I think the only take on the Klitschkos is that they are very good fighters that would have been competitive against a lot of very good HWs over the years (particularly Vitali) but they don't have the resumes to be talked about as ATGs, not even close.

Vitali is my favourite HW, one of my favourite all-time HWs, but his resume just ain't up to scratch to be put up there with the greats of the division.

The fight was stopped to protect Vitali's safety, not Lewis's.

Exactly. I dont think there's a bigger gash in the history of boxing than the one that was on Vitali's eye that night. Fights have been stopped on a helluva lot less.

The Klitschko's will retire without a single hall-of-famer on their resume.

Vitali will be remembered as the man who quit against Byrd and the guy who in his prime, lost to a fat, old out of shape Lewis... and Wlad will be remembered as a cautious weenie, who was floored by 3 different journeymen fighters.

It's a shame we will never get to see the Klit's face any A class fighters. The only thing we know is that when Vitali stepped up to an old fat Lewis he was stopped from taking further punishment.

I would agree with some of the points if the Klitschko's actually had class A opponents to face.

Wlad has won a ton straight and Vitali tends to beat people up.

They can't help it there are very few guys that even give them a fight.

Lewis and Sanders, their notable losses, are tough for anyone, at any time.

I would dismiss an early career loss or two when looking at someone's whole career.

I just wonder who these class a fighters are/were, that they are supposed to face.
Most everyone they fought good or bad, laid down for them.

Is that their fault?

[Ogecca MaMa]

how about Chris Byrd ? the guy isnt class A fighter?)

Lennox Lewis would never allow a fraud like Nikoai Valuev to lurk around the HD for 5 straight years. Ever since the early 70's the Heavyweight champ has made it his business to become undisputed and to unite all of the titles. Ali, Tyson, Holyfield and Lennox Lewis were all undisputed champions at one point.

The Klits have shown no desire whatsoever to clean up the Heavyweight division and for that the entire class is one big running joke. Its sad that a little ass cruiserweight like David Haye is pursuing a goal that these 6'7 losers should have handled 3 years ago.
