Is Vitali Klitschko a top 10 heavyweight of all time?

[jimmy1569]

Lennox Lewis was at his worst which is why he retired after that fight.

A prime Lewis would of beat Vitali.

A PRIME LEWis would've fared exactly the same without being smart enough to cut Vitali & NOT heavy enough to lean on him. A much easier night for Vitali is the end result.

Yet it was Ali who was the bigger man in his fights most of the time (in fact more so than the disparity between Klitschkos and their opponents, look it up on boxrec if you don't believe me), Ali was a super HW of his time, at 6'3" and 200+ he was bigger than most HWs of his era. So don't talk to me about size, when he faced "Big" George Foreman, they were both the same weight and Ali was taller than Foreman. Size + skill matter a great deal. A good big man will always beat a great little man.

I guess Vitali isnt a a very good big man then, seeing how he was TKOd by a former Supermiddleweight!! I cant imagine Ali losing to a guy that small and featherfisted.

As for Wlad....I cant think of any great HW from 1940 to 2010 who was defeated by a guy with 20 losses. Even the guys who beat Lewis(Mccall and Rahman) had wins over other HW title holders....Puritty and Sanders only decent win was against Glass-Wlad.

The Klitschkos are a product of a garbage division. When they were in the superior era they were brutally ****d by over-the-hill and D-class boxers.

LOL you should post more often.

Another example of Vitali's dominance was against Shannon Briggs. Briggs actually thought beforehand that he could knock him out easy. As soon as he got in the ring..he quickly saw how easily Vitali was hitting him & that he had to commit to actually get to Vitali. He wasnt willing to do that..he couldn't do it.. that left hand was al;ready in Briggs mug & in position with the right hand right behind it. He couldn't even mount a minimal rush & had no choice but to eat it. His only options were to go all out & rush Vitali & get knockedout early or just keep eating leather to the point of insanity & spend several days in a foreign hospital. Trust me when he said that Vital was the best fighter he ever faced & the hardest puncher...he meant it despite fighting Lennnox & Big George. It's because he ate viscious leather for 12 full rds & please to those who say he couldn't ko him. That was much worse than a knockout & forget the fact that Briggs was Tko'ed at lease 4 times in the bout if not for incompetence by both referee...& trainers.

Lennox wasnt trying to cut anyone. He hits you ****ing hard, and you begin to bleed. Basic physics.

Tyson was bleeding too if it makes you feel better...



Lennox humiliates all of his opponents like that.... dont let it worry you.

Briggs was a monoplegic in that fight and only had use of 1 arm. A klitschko wouldve quit under those circumstances, but Vitali is so feather-fisted he couldnt knock out a one-armed man!

This is what Lennox did to a two-arm Briggs, who was prime!

Lennox is better than both klit sisters combined.

[Jim Jeffries]

No and at 39 it's doubtful he has enough time to get there.

Had he not wasted so much time kickboxing, turned pro at 25 and taken 4 years of his prime off, he might've had a chance.

[STEELHEAD]

I'm frankly shocked at the poll results.

Vitali is probably #1 HW of all time and easily top 5 ATG at hw.

You people are insane.

you better use an alt spewing that garbage!!!

[STEELHEAD]

This is just pathetic, the hw champ only gets 20 votes and most of them are tunney alts. What kind of pathetic champ is Vitali?
