vitali klitscho is a great heavyweight

Great

He quit against a LHW. He got TKO'D by past his prime Lewis. And his best win is over Peter, who was schooled by James Toney a former MW. There is nothing great about Vitali.

Getting your face turned into a vagina is not schooling at all. He lost that fight by TKO in the 6th if you didn't know. Jermaine Taylor "Schooled" Carl Froch until he was KO'ed as well.

People do give him deserved respect. Just not for 'schooling' Lewis - which he didn't.

I think Vitali would have beaten Lewis if he hadn't got stopped on the cut. But Americans are never going to give the Klitschkos the credit they deserve. But on the other hand if you had 2 6-7 athletic black fighters who were owning everybody they got in the ring with for years on end then you'd never hear the end of how great they were.

He is a very good HW.

He didn't school Lennox, and Lennox was 37.

vitali has all the tools to be a great HW, maybe even an ATG. hes a naturally big man, has great strength, turns up to fights in shape and on his day would be handful for any HW from history. allied to that he has a good jab, a thudding right hand, can fight at a good pace as well and has a chin that is like a cinderblock.

but two things have conspired against vitali becoming an ATG:

1)vlad - because of his brother vitali will never be the unversally recognised no.1, and it also means the two best HW's in the world won't ever face each other

2) injuries - after the LL loss the stage was set for him to become his own champion, the boxing public saw vitali as a worthy successor to LL's throne but injuries meant he never really built on that momentum.

btw vitali was not schooling LL at all

vitali is seruly a good heavyweight, but i think vlad is much better, vitali has no defence as he shows us in the lewis fight, he would probably win it when he would take his hands up

Yea I guess that's why he was ahead on EVERY scorecard when the doctor stopped the fight.

Vitali didn't quit. In fact he was quite pissed about the doctor stopping it.

He's got more heart than you'll find anywhere.

vitali klitscho is a great heavyweight
