Is there one fighter in boxing history that could introduce Klitschko to the canvas?

    Mike Tyson
    Evander Holyfield

    Not sure they could keep him there but they could PUT him there.

      That guy is a moderator, a pretty bad one I must add. He's a klitschko nuthugger too.

        I'll give you points for the clever factor.

          You obviously need to learn a little more about heavyweight boxing if you don't take work rate into account. Look how tired Vitali was after the Sanders fight. He can't fight at that pace with someone like Tyson or Frazier. Its impossible. The reason why he gets away with it is because of the type of opponents available for him. Lewis was around when there were a lot better fighters, thats why he didn't fight so aggressive. Big guys can't fight at that kind of pace very long.

              Reach means nothing against timing and speed. And Vitali has never faced a fighter even remotely close to Tyson or Frazier to say he wouldn't be outworked. Look what Byrd did to him, and I don't buy the fact that Vitali's shoulder was hurt was the reason why Byrd started to get to him in that last round. Vitali should have still been able to avoid the punches but he was being outworked and didn't have the energy to get away like he did earlier in the fight. Tyson and Frazier would stop him easily. Enough said.

                You obviously DON'T know that the only time Vitali has EVER stopped throwing punches in the ring is when he couldn't hold his arm up or the nearly 90% of the time when the ref has called off his fights because his opponents worked rate came to a smithering halt....you're welcome.... COME BACK with better stuff than VITALI is an ordinary big & not one of his 44 different opponents had the pedigree to outlast him in the stamina dept & most importantly throw more punches than him at the end. Even Lewis with all his success in the final rd got outworked in the final 3 minutes.... you're welcome again.

                    Your sentence about putting him there but NOT keeping him there. It's an oxymoron that states you're just taking a guess but don't REAlly BELIEVE it.

                      You're really NOT making any sense. First you say he can be outworked when he NEVER has... then you mention Byrd outworked him which is beyond laughable..go check the compubox stats & come back & apologize. Sure,,, he was outworked for the FINAL 10 seconds against Lewis & perhaps the last 2 minutes of the Byrd fight but that's where it ends & the fights prematurely stopped. In both instances he had debillitating injuries for the majority of those fights & still outworked both by A MILE FORTHE FIGHT'S ENTIRETY... KAPISH... fUNNY now we're thinking Vitali can be outworked because we can't find anyone to take him down. Vitali HAS every faCET of the game shored up..unfortunaTELY so please stop these delusions & wishful thinking... thanks!
