VItali Klitschko: The Numbers

[Southpawkiller]

Top 10 Vitali Klitschko Heavyweight Records

1. Only man to KO his first 27 opponents.

2. Needed the least amount of rds (57) to win a heavyweight belt (WBO)

3. Highest Career KO% In history 39 ko's in 44 fights = 88.64%

4. Only man to have his ONLY 2 defeats due to controversial injury stoppages while well ahead of both guys that beat him. He won 12 of the 15 rds (80%)
fought in those incomplete fights on ALL judges scorecards. Could easily be 50 -0 & have the best winning % of alltime but injuries also caused him to take a nearly 4 yr layoff & stall his career.

5. Only professional kickboxing champ to later on become heavyweight champ.
5a. Only man never to go down to the canvas this long into his title reigns.

6. Has fought 209 rds in 44 fights & has NOT lost more than an equivalent of an entire fight (12 rds) in his ENTIRE career on judges scorecards..even when he lost he won 80% of those rds before succumbing to injury.
6a) For those of us that are math challenged that's a scorecard being read in his favor more than 94% of the time. He loses 1 out of every 17-18 rds he fights.

7) OnLY man never to throw less punches than his opponents in EACH & every one of his fights.

8) Only man to throw more punches than his opponents in each & every one of his fights.

9) His punches landed to given ratio is by far the biggest discrepancy in heavyweight history. Translation.... the punches landed on his opponent.. compared to the punches landed on him is far greater than any other heavie's offense/defense ratio.... MJ in basketball is the most dominANT in Nba history just for an example of offensive to defensive transition.

10) Only man his size 6 ft 8 250 lbs that has achieved this type of dominance.. This means....with his combination of size..skills.. talent & strength... he'll always be the favorite in a head to head matchup with ANY fighter in boxing history.. Highest BER (Boxer Efficiency RATING) IN heavyweight history by far.

In closing.. for one fighter to have this much dominance over his peers & to have the BEST numbers in heavyweight history but NOT be considered as one of the very best when he's actually been the very best & most dominant heavyweight is beyond me. His Boxing PER is so far greater than anyone elses it's not even funny

DIDNT THIS DUDE TAKE STEROIDS?????

Only jokin, he will go down in history as a good fighter...pity for him the division ****** while he was on top...

Juanma has 90%. Don't get me started on how many have higher than Vit.

Haye has higher too, 89% i believe.

assuming we're talking about percentages.. haven't been reading the thread.

Who the hell is Juanma...he certainly doesn't fight in the heavies.... & Haye's combined cruiser/heavy ko ratio is 88.46.... Vitali's is 88.64..so he no longer holds that taintedly... & all YOU NEED to know jis Vitali knocked out all 26 of his oppnents & his ratio was 100% at the 26 fight mark & didn't fail to ko 3 fighters as Haye has... >>>> kapish!

float like a butterfly sting like a bee
who's the greatest

VI - T - ALI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



if wlad loses to haye, vitali has a chance to become undisputed

I can hardly imagine WK losing to Haye, in fact I've bet every point I have that he will WIN.

Everything, both statistically and factually points to the opposite happening, that WK will beat Haye, and easily.

Pretty impressive

Vitali doesnt have that many wins over top opponents.

Wladimir has more, better wins.

[AndrewDobson]

@edgarg. no i am just saying that the klitschkos will win either way
either wladimir will win or vitali will get to become undisputed

haye is actually a blessing in disguise because it is the only way
vitali could become undisputed champion since vitali wont fight wladimir

[edgarg]

Who are the top 5?

Ali

Louis

Frazier

Holmes

Marciano?



Okay, Vitali would hammerfist Marciano into the ground in rd 1.

At 6'1, 205 lbs soaking wet. Frazier gets pounded in rd 2.

Foreman is basically a smaller version of Vitali. Vitali is bigger, has better stamina, defense and a better chin. This is a guy that got dropped by Ron Lyle and 1 punched by feather fisted Ali in his prime. Vitali by KO in a savage beating.

Joe Louis gets hammered. Too chinny for Vitali.

Ali is the only one that stands a chance because he runs. Vitali by UD.

I think that Marciano would last probably about 3 rounds. Not because he was good, he was probably the worst heavyweight champ in history, but because of his peculiar crablike style, and very low (I mean bending down) defensive and advancing style. it would take a couple of rounds to get used to for such a big man.

But then, he'd hammer him to small pieces.

I like how the Klitschkos seem to gain a half inch to an inch every few years. By the time these mother****ers retire they'll be 6'10" according to their nuthuggers. On topic those are some impressive stats though.

Jimmy, there used to be a stooge called LaMar Clark, I remember well, who had a terriffic reputation as a KO merchant, except for his first fight, KO'd his next 41 FORTY ONE , opponents.

The trouble was, they were all complete no hopers most of whom were having their FIRST, and ONLY fight.

Ali put him away in, I think, about 2. I remember it well.

Well... obviously there's going to be scrubs that have Ko reputations built on all cans... ty fields of the world don't count. About half of Vitali's KO's has been against fighters who were ranked. Most of his early Ko's were against cans/journeymen...every all time great fights this type of competition in the begining. Not every alltime great knocked them all out..at least the first 27.

Nothing but the facts...there's no opinions involved in that list.
