Attaching The G-Word To Klitschko

[ProBox1]

Vitali Klitschko has emerged as the fighter to beat in today's pedestrian heavyweight division. Right now I think he is the most formidable heavyweight in boxing. I'm sure for many of his fans and loyal followers that's not high enough praise. Probably anything short of referring to him as an all-time great would be seen as a slight. But in reality, Klitschko has not achieved greatness, nor is he a great fighter, yet. And I would vehemently question the boxing intellect or agenda of anyone who thinks he is.

However, that is exactly what is being said among some boxing writers and fans. And unfortunately it's not the first time a champion in the infancy of his title tenure will prematurely be validated an all-time great. The last fighter anointed great before he achieved it was Mike Tyson. And Tyson looked more unbeatable than Klitschko on the way up. Sure, Tyson was a great fighter, but the greatness he actually attained isn't close to what it was talked about at one time. [details]

Frank ... I agree with most of this. However, the entire topic is a Dead Dog, so let's not flog it any longer. Take solice in knowing you are correct that a cult of delusional Vitali fans is currently high******* the common sense of many other fans hungry for a decent heavyweight to follow. But, it's not worthy of another article, really.

Both Klitschkos suck. They don't have it in the sack. i.e no balls.
