    Is Vitali Klitschkos power vastly overrated?

    A fat, over the hill under-trained Lennox Lewis took several right hand bombs flush from Vitali. Is this a case of Vitalis power being vastly overrated?

    Or Maybe Lewis chin is just underrated...

    he hits hard, but definitely not harder than his brother. he has to poke people a lot before they go down. a lot of his KO wins come from his opponent just quitting, and not an outright KO.

          He doesn't have huge one-shot KO power, but his power is still devastating none the less. ****** question. Anyone who says his power is overrated is a hater. He mangles people. It is more of an accumulation of damage though.

            The Briggs fight proves his power is overrated more than anything else. Sure, he beat the ***** out Briggs but he never put him away and was landing at will. Lets not forget Briggs has always been thought of as a somewhat chinny fighter.

                I think its certainly overrated by some, he's never stopped anyone of note.

                  I think its a little bit of both. A man 6'7" 1/2 249 pounds punching down should be able to pack some power. I believe Wladamir hits harder than Vitali. When have or when was the last time Vitali put somebody down and they stayed down knocked out? Seriously a lot of his previous wins on supposedly quality oppenents has either been they have been stopped on their feet or quit on the stool. Not taking nothing from Vitali and he does hit hard but I think they making it bigger than it seems. Both the K-Bros have two opponents in common. Chris Byrd and Sam Peter. Vitali was winning the fight
                  hands down and caught Chris several times with that right hand and Chris survived. Wladamir caught Chris with the same right hand and the fight was over. Sam Peter was rocked by Wladamir and had him on ***** street. Never happen before and Sam has a great chin. Vitali hit him all night with the right hand and nothing happen except Peter quit on the stool and had a swollen face for his troubles. So don't be fooled by numbers. Look at the quality of opposition when its coming to knockouts. But one thing we can say....both of them boys can punch.

                    It's called accumulation punching. Vitali has power for sure, not exactly one punch KO power, he wears opponents down and beats them to a pulp. Vitali isn't what I'd call a 'massive puncher' though.
