Vitali Klitschko is one of the greatest

[JFB629]

Vitali Klitschko would be hard fight for any Heavyweight in history. Standing over 6''7 inches. He is one of the most unorthodox Heavyweights in the history of boxing.

He is one hell of a hard puzzle to figure out. He holds his hands low and his chin fairly open. He is extremley heavy handed and has a anvil like chin.

His record and stats speak for themselves. Vitali has won 38 out of his 40 fights and the 2 losses are very questionable. One was to Southpaw Chris Byrd, were he pulled out due to a shoulder injury in the 9th round when he was miles ahead on the cards.

The other was two then Heavyweight King Lennox Lewis, were the bout was stopped on a cut in the 6th round. At the time of the stoppage Vitali led on the score cards.

Other than that, no one seems to be able to figure out Vitali.

37 of his 38 wins have come back KO. One of the highest KO percentages in history. He was also a world class amature and is a dedicated sportmen.

Injuries have stopped and started his career in the past. Without the Injuries he may have been able to achieve more and cerment a more defining legacy so to speak.

But all Vitali can keep doing is winning in impressive fashion and defending his Title. And no one can deny him his place in Heavyweight history.

It also nice to see him being so active now a days.......

says the ******ed racist black supremacist.

The Klitschko brothers are both all time greats and hall of famers. They would beatdown all of the overrated, undersized American heavyweights from the past.

Ali, Louis, Frazier, etc. weren't even real world champions. Fighters from the former Soviet Union weren't allowed to turn pro until the 1990's because of the cold war. Now our Soviet fighters are allowed to turn pro and are ALREADY DOMINATING.

Have to differ with you.

But first let me state where we agree. Because of the Cold War some of the best fighters were not allowed to participate like Stevenson from Cuba; but to say the Klitschkos are the best of all-time. We can't say that. They haven't fought top competition. As a point of comparison the Lewis - Vitali Klitschko fight was very close, and as we all know, Vitali lost. I think that Vitali would have won the rematch and would have won the fight if not for the cut. BUT WE DON'T KNOW. The rematch never happened and the cut did stop the fight. Now Lewis was a good fighter but is not one of the ATGs.

So to say, with certainty, that the Klits are among the best ever. I don't think so. Personally I think that both Klitschkos would have a hard time with Evander Holyfield and he isn't an ATG. Styles after all make fights.
I like the Klitschkos but they haven't done enough to be considered ATGs.

Vitali, Wlad , or Lewis would beat any of the HW greats of the past Ali, Marciano, Foreman, Dempsy..ETC......comparing any great fighter from today with any great fighter from 30-80 years ago is a joke. The athletes of the present are superior.

I'm not so sure of that. Let's see today's fighters fighting every 2-3 weeks instead of every 3-4 months and see how they do. People have been fighting for ever. There are no truly new tricks of the trade. The Philly Shell has been around since the turn of the last century. A lot of today's training methods are rehashing of what was the norm 100 years ago. I'm not saying that today's fighters couldn't compete with the past fighters. Of course they could. I'm just saying that you shouldn't discount the earlier greats. They certainly weren't jokes.

A great video of a great man and a great boxer.

Vitali Klitschko has earned his right as a future hall of famer without a doubt...anyone who tries to deny this is either delusional or holds an agenda that has nothing to do with boxing.

Vitali will continue to walk the walk and dominate the Heavyweight division...this time will always be remembered as the "Klitschko era" and their legacy will never fade.

All boxing fans from here on will live the rest of their lives with the Klitschko brothers' legacy sealed in the hall of fame whether they like it or not, so they better get used to it.

One feat will stand out for years to come:

- 1,400 days off the ring due to injuries.
- Enter a World Champion fight without warm up fight.
- Don't lose a single round in the fight.
- Destroy the champion physically and mentally (he quit in the corner).

Impressive.

Havent you and tunneyvore committed suicide yet? or do we have to wait until the next time Wlad gets sparked and looks over to big brother with that oh so desperate look on his face?

Vitali is a great heavyweight who would have been one of the best in any era,but to say he would destroy ali is dumb. Foreman in his prime hit a **** sight harder than Vitali,and we all saw how Ali couldnt take his punches!
