Emanuel Steward says Vitali Klitschko is the most intimidating HW of all time

[Grinderman]

Your only currently active, not banned account, yes. Perhaps. Or do you want me to believe you coincidentally reposted Steelhammer2011's marquee post earlier this thread? It's not like you're subtle or something.



Do you mind nameing your top 10 favourite active boxers?

If a black guy's top ten favorite active boxers are all black, is he a racist?

[Grinderman]

I actually like Vitali despite him not being HOF worthy (IMO). It's just funny how you ride someone nuts soooo fucking hard

This is an "alt" of JAB = Joseph A. Benedetti, aka "Fat Joe"

[Tiozzo]

his stature is intimidating, but his intimidation skills are pretty weak

he gives his opponents a tough look during the staredowns, but aside of that, there is no aura of menace emanating from him

he's supposed to be a gentleman after all, not some bully

Did honestly log in with your alt to tell me that?

Vitali Klitschko >>>>> Lennox "The Cowardly Lion" Lewis

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE TRUTH

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102


Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

After the fight, Vitali intimidated the shit out of Lewis and made him look like a bitch.

All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 30 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement.



George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

Lewis said he was "at the peak of my powers" when he got his ass whooped by Vitali.

Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement. That's a FACT.

FACTS about Vitali Klitschko:

- WBC heavyweight champion of the world

- All Time Great and Hall Of Famer

- Has never truly lost

- There is no blueprint to beat him

- He is unbeatable

- Has dominated every opponent he has ever faced

- Has never been behind on the scorecards at the end of a fight

- Has never been knocked down

- Greatest heavyweight champ KO% of all time

- Only man ever to be world heavyweight champ in boxing and kickboxing

It's a shame that injuries/4 year layoff robbed him of a stronger resume. He was WBC and RING undisputed HW Champ when he retired in 2004. We never got to see his true prime. If Vitali had stayed healthy, he would've dominated the HW division from 2005-2008 and his resume would've been on par with Wladimir's great resume.

Vitali is 40 years old now. He came back after the 4 year layoff and is still dominating the HW division. He hasn't lost a single round in his comeback.

Vitali beats any HW from any era.

before you powder your face for your 1000th performance of same 'ol same 'ol, im not going to respond to your cut and paste arguments beyond this point. vitali is awesome. i respect him and his ability greatly and even though i know ill get flack for this he does beat several atg's in his division. and i will say who marciano, patterson, and liston. he has odds against some and has no chance against others. please just be human and respect my opinion and that of others. soften up a lil and others will respect you more.

[nomadman]

Probably Sam Peter lmao.

I rate the Peter win quite highly due to the circumstances of the fight. Vit was coming off a four year layoff, and stepped right back into the ring against a hard hitting durable champion without a warmup, won pretty much every round and stopped Peter for the first time in his career. Nothing "lmao" about that at all.

BTW I also rate the Gomez win highly. Gomez is generally underrated as a Vit opponent.

Who's the best fighter he retired... now think carefully... some people hold Briggs in high regard too......

No, Briggs was a washed up old punching bag at the time Vitali fought him.

oH and the best fighter he outslugged & outboxed and lost to is also said fighter from England/Canada.

See bold.

I agree with this. His intimidation rests solely on his stature in the division. Facing him you know that in about 24 hours time you're more than likely going to face a horrible prolonged and possibly career ending beat down that's going to leave you in the hospital. The sheer knowledge of these facts is enough to initiate brown trouser time.

Appearance wise however, I wouldn't call Vitali an especially scary man. Not like Tyson or Liston. Those guys just had a presence about them, lent by a sheen of madness and animality, that you could feel through your television screen. With Liston it's subtle since he wasn't an especially outgoing personality, but his quietness and the cold dead eyes were more powerful than any number of vituperations, threats or mean stares.
