    Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis and Tyson where ALL much better than the Klitschkos will ever be. both in resume and h2h skills. the klitschkos will NEVER become top 10 hws of all time.
    Vitali H2H could give any champ in history a good fight when he's at his best.
    Even Dan Rafael admits that.

    The Klitschkos dominated their era of HW boxing (the soon to be over 2000s).
    They fought who was there to be fought. Beyond that, there's not much they can do. Their places in boxing history are assured because of their domination of an entire era. And they still have a little time left to add some lustre to their resumes.

      Lennox was supposedly in his prime before he fought Vitali. His own words: "Like a fine wine, I get better with age." He had just massacred Tyson. Suddenly, after the VK fight, he was "old," "shot," "done." LOL. As late as 2007 he was thinking of doing a rematch. So it sure bothers him to this day that Vitali retired him.
      Lewis was afraid to fight Klitschko in the first place. When Johnson pulled out 10 days before the fight date, Lewis had to be enticed with a very hefty EXTRA few Mill dollars to accept Klitschko as a replacement opponent.

      And his fears were well justified.

      After all K was at a big disadvantage here, training to fight a guy, Cedric Boswell, not the World Champ, I think, or someone of that level, [correct me here guys], and argueably won every rd against Lewis.

      That's why he messed K around for nearly a year before declaring his retirement.

      I also saw that interview a few days before the fight, where he was spouting off about how good he was, "a pugilist specialist", etc, "a Klitschko for breakfast and the other one for lunch", etc.etc.

      ad nauseam.

        Yeah but even with all of that it still says "Lewis TKO6 Klitschko" on his resume.

          I'm not a klit fan but if you expect to beat them you had better be in great shape,ready to go 12 hard rounds,& be able to eat a jab & get inside...if you are not willing to be in the best shape of your career you might as well not sign the contract.

              I think this bears repeating:

              Ross Purrity TKO11 Wladimir Klitschko

              Corrie Sanders TKO2 Wladimir Klitschko

              Lamon Brewster TKO5 Wladimir Klitschko

              The Klits are lesser champions lucky to have come around during a very weak era for the HW division.

                  The same Rahman who put Lewis to Sleep?

                    Damn

                    I could easily do this.

                    Medgoen Singsurat KO3 Manny Pacquiao

                    Rustico Torrecampo KO3 Manny Pacquiao


                    See easy isnt it,Manny isnt the same fighter who lost to those bums and nor is Wlad.
