Excellent Article About the Klitschkos

[IMDAZED]

Right - cause I can't say that Bob Foster was a BUM or McCall was a BUM, or Buster Douglas was a BUM. Nostalgia and nonsensical objective comparisons is all you Kltischko haters have.

Both Bros are going in the IBHOF, and whether you consider them top 10 ATGs or not, is irrelevant because I do and it seems like a lot of people are starting to change to my line of thinking with each victory. Like I said, enjoy watching your favorite HWs on ESPN Classic and I'll be watching mine live.

Who has Vitali Klitschko beaten to go to the HOF? Who? Chris Arreola?

To be honest the Klitschokos are boring to watch but it's really not there fought. I mean what guy with his head on straight would put himself in harms way of getting ktfo just to please the crowd? They use the long reach beat opponents down until the guy ripe for a knock out and I don't blame them, blame the crappy opponent who can't adjust his game plan to get in close and make the fight competitive.

Since you won't say it, I will

Bob Foster - ATG Light Heavyweight boxer, no doubt about that!

Mccall BUM. He got lucky against Lewis, Lewis was undisciplined albeit possibly a top 10 ATG heavyweight. In the rematch Lewis showed him up and he QUIT the biggest fight of his life, BUM. He never beat ANYONE worth mention, the Lewis that night was not anything worth mentioning >.<

Buster Douglas - Nothing Special. Not necessarily a bum, but not Champion caliber either. Once again, he got lucky and caught Tyson at the lowest point of his career. What with all of the personal problems, managerial problems, promoter and wife problems, it is no wonder Tyson finally imploded. Add on ****ing asian hookers all night long and durrrr, Tyson got his ass kicked. But Came back with two awesome fights against Razor Ruddock, a guy I would love to pit against either Klitschko. He then went to prison and came back, albeit not near the fighter he was in his short prime, but still good enough to rock the division before imploding again. I am not saying Tyson was a ATG, I think he is right on the line, along with both Klits if even that....

I am not talking about the IBHOF, I am talking about something much bigger. I am saying, do the Klits deserve to be held at the level of Holyfield, Lewis, Ali, Foreman, Marciano(Debatable), Louis, Holmes(Debatable 1st tier)? The next level down is Liston, Frazier, Tyson, Dempsey etc...I do not think they can ever reach that first tier because of the ****ty division they fight in, but they WILL get into that second one so long as they keep going another 5 years and keep straight...I do not think that Vitali would bring down any of the top tier greats. Foreman was to strong and ferocious, Louis, Lewis, and Ali to smart and quick, Marciano and Holyfield to tough. I do not think anyone would argue with me their. That is another reason I do not rate them at tier 1. But, part of my reason for thinking they could make tier 2 is that one or the other brother has a reasonable shot at any tier 2 great.

Liston has the power and skill to do away with either brother but was only slightly slower in the feet and left his hands low to a extent, I think he would be vulnerable to a great boxer puncher or a great slick boxer. Liston gets Wlad in round 1 or 2, not Vitali imo. Frazier had a hard punch, and his trademarks were his huge heart and stamina, he gets Vitali by a UD decision, but Wlad stands a better chance with his strength, inside tactics(Clinching) and punching power(Albeit nothing like Foreman's, still accurate and to the point)(Still very hard to call, Frazier's punch is harder, faster, and more relentless than anyone either Klit has faced). Tyson would likely eventually catch Wlad very late or SD him, but Vitali stands a boring running chance of UDing Tyson, neither can hurt Tyson. And if Vitali stands and fights like he did with Sanders it is alllll over...It is a tough call to make, they probably both lose, but career wise theirs is much more disciplined than Tyson's

See the logic here?

I find it hilarious that you have to get Vitaly BEST wins and try to compare it to Ali, Holmes, Tyson, and Lewis WORST wins just to TRY and compare resumes.

Is the only way you can do it.

If you match best wins with best wins. Then Vitaly resume gets put in shame.

Seriously though why would this writer compare one fighter best wins with the others worst wins? Makes no sense.

My exact first thoughts after finishing the article.

Who has Vitali Klitschko beaten to go to the HOF? Who? Chris Arreola?

Vitali and Wlad both make HOF in my book. It's not their fault this division is full of fighters with no skill or speed. To top it off they don't even show up in shape.

I'm sorry, Vitali has done **** to be talking HOF. Wlad? Yes. Vitali? Hell ****ing no. Who has he beat? This muthaphukka took four years off after winning the title from Corrie Sanders and cancelling his mandatory bout against Hasim Rahman FOUR TIMES. Since he's returned he's beaten who exactly? Please. If he gets in the HOF they should give John Ruiz his own SECTION.
