The Klitschko Factor: Assessing Vitali

[Bozo_no no]

ya and byrd lost to a guy that sanders took care of in 2 rounds!!

When was that?



Oh, right.

Blitzing a guy that had been KO'd before and after by similar fringe contenders doesn't make you a viable fighter.

Sanders is a fringe contender. End of story.

You suggesting he's he-man, or a world beater, or better than anyone Byrd has ever fought is asinine.

And for the 3rd time, I never said Byrd was anything special. I'm not the one trying to claim an average relatively unproven fighter is some kind of marvel.

And who holds the WBC championship belt Bozo, next time dont say ****...

Hi Torino, thanks for your reply, glad you enjoyed reading it. It's always nice when people can agree to disagree without mud slinging or all this "haters" business.

I think one false impression I've given though is that I'm not behind Vitali... in trying to be objective I maybe went too far the other way. For instance, I should have specified that his displeasing style is how others see it... personally I really like to see him fight, even though I haven't been on the edge of my seat since the Lewis bout. The same goes for him being on borrowed time.. this is how his critics view him, personally I can't see him being beat by anyone out there right now, except possibly (and that's a big stretch) James Toney.

Anorak,

Don't even worry about it.
I'm a huge Klitschkos fan..
I once walked out of my best friend's wedding to run and see the fight on TV.. (came back later)
Same happened on an engagement party and a number of birthdays.. This is just to put in perspective that I'm a big Fan (and not a nut hugger like Bozo puts it)
We are all fans, and all have a favorite fighter. Otherwise we wouldn't be spending hours and days on this site!

Anyway, back to the point...
I really enjoyed reading your post as you are right about it. Vitaly is yet to be tested and that's what makes it great!
Every fight that comes on, there is a risk that he might loose. And that's the thrill that I love.

Tyson used to knock people out left and right, so the only excitement was "which round will it happen?" With both Klitchkos I always feel insecure and this hype is what makes it great and not his goofy style, or any other negative things he has.

This thread and the article are a pieces of ****

Good for you, glad you joined in the discussion.

What kind of idiot calls 5 or 6 pounds overweight ludacrous?

Dunno, but I called it "ludicrous".

Seriously, I tried to start this one off as an easy-going, considered discussion. All those who want to throw primary school names around and post silly images - maybe you could go and get your own thread? It'd be nice to talk about Vitali without having to read "yo, you retud ****er" every other post.

VDiary - cheers man!

thats where i disagree, i think VK has proven himself by destroying his opponents the way a champ should... while ruiz and byrd get gift decisions....

Very good!

Some people just can't keep it civilized (bozo) and until you shut their mouth, they will keep squeaking..

Some people just can't keep it civilized

Hey **** twat!

"Jock sniffers" "sac sniffers" ?? What East Bumble**** do you live in?

Who gives a **** what "you believe."

Here is an advise for you.. take a hammer and start smacking down your ******ed hands, so that the next time you type this **** to me, you think twice.

Some people can't deal with an opinion that shatters their fanatical delusions, and it causes them to fly off the handle with childish insults.

Vitali can fight and knock guyz out, the H.W division is very boring as it is, Vitali is capable of providing a little excitemnent so he should not be criticized for his skills.
