Vitali is a joke of a champion

[Bozo_no no]

Brewster, Ruiz, or Byrd instead. It's not a guarantee, but VK would likely beat all of them.

And that's a large part of what brings on the over-hyping.

The attitude that everyone 'thinks' he'd beat them all, so he deserves to be regarded like it's already happened.

Only it hasn't. He won the title agianst Corrie Sanders, and defended it agaisnt Danny Williams. Outside of that, his biggest career wins are over a 260lb Kirk Johnson, and Larry Donald.

I need to see him actually beat Byrd Ruiz Toney or Brewster before I start to give him some of the credit that's so freely thrown at him...

Nothing wrong with Vitali or his opponents. Non of them were fat, old or whatever. It's just the Anti-Klitschko's trying to discredit the brothers.

For example, the same can be done with Lennox Lewis.

He fought,

2003-06-21 Vitali Klitschko - Awkward and never fought anyone.

2002-06-08 Mike Tyson - Old and lost his skill long ago

2001-11-17 Hasim Rahman - No skill

2001-04-22 Hasim Rahman - Exposed Lewis's weak chin with one lucky punch.

2000-11-11 David Tua 245 - Short/ one dimensional fighter.

2000-07-15 Francois Botha - Out of Shape

2000-04-29 Michael Grant - Glass jaw

1999-11-13 Evander Holyfield - Old Man. Way past his prime. Lewis better off beating up someone from the old folks home.

1999-03-13 Evander Holyfield - See Above

1998-09-26 Zeljko Mavrovic - Who's the little guy?

1998-03-28 Shannon Briggs - No skill

1997-10-04 Andrew Golota - No skill

1997-07-12 Henry Akinwande - Bias Ref

1997-02-07 241 Oliver McCall - Paid Off/ didn't want to fight.

1996-05-10 Ray Mercer - Out of shape/Past his Prime.

1995-10-07 Tommy Morrison - A fictional movie boxer

1995-07-02 Justin Fortune - Who's this little guy?

1995-05-13 Lionel Butler - This guy lost to everyone

It could be said Lewis was in a weak division also and there was something wrong with everyone he fought as well.

Oh and Lewis averaged two fights per year since 1995 and only fought once a year from 2001-2004.

Nothing Wrong with Vitali and I'm sure he will fight whoever the WBC wants him to, Rahman or Brewster.

Take away your insults to the fighters, and that list is pretty impressive

Actualy, I'm a fan of several of those boxers (Holyfield, Tyson, Golota.....). The post was to prove a point that there is nothing wrong with Klitscko's opponents (Fat, out of shape, and so on) and insults were fictional.

What's your point? What was the top 15 at the time he faced his most recent opponents? They aren't on the list because he knocked them off the list.

[Torino]

Boxing Rec has Vitali's recent opponents ranked,

18 Kirk Johnson
20 Danny Williams
23 Corrie Sanders

And that's after he defeated them. They were top 15 opponents, if not top 10, at the time he faced them.

I just wish his next fight would hurry up and happen. I REALLY wish he would fight Rahman because he said he would fight him next, and I actually think he is a better fighter than Brewster anyway. I just wanna get to the next "Rahman is a bum, we all knew it", "Brewster sucks ass, we all knew it", and "Vitali is a joke of a champion, if he weren't so damn tall..." threads. lol
It's always gonna be this way no matter who he fights.

I can no longer defend Vitali. I was a fan but now I am starting to lose much respect for him. It's blatant that he fears facing Rahman (why I have no idea). Vitali has tried everyway possible to get out of fighting Rahman. Personally I think Barrett will beat Rahman and when that happens then Vitali will probably change his tune and agree to fight Barrett. That will show what kind of a chump he has become. Note to Vitali: STOP coming to your baby brothers defense all the time. Stand up be a man and defend your title like a true champion is supposed to.

Hey slick, if he doesn't face Rahman (depending upon whether or not he defeats Barrett) I will not root for him because he pussed out of facing his mandatory.


If Vitali faces Brewster in September and wins the WBO and does not get stripped of his WBC belt in the process and then faces the winner of Rahman vs Barrett then I will have no problem with him, but it seems as though he is blatantly refusing to face Rahman out of fear. Vitali has already held the WBO belt.
