Will Vitali Klitschko be Remembered?

I don't think many people recognized Vitali in ta first place anyway. He dint really make a big noise in ta heavyweight division, hugely becuz he's wasted time, wasting otha peoples' time. A true champ seeks out challenges and Vitali really neva did. He and his team picked opponents that they could beat. Vitali is a decent fighta and should be remembered as that!

I herrd dat... keep preachin da troof.

No **** he will be remeberd. Over the period of 3 or so years half of the threads on this forum are about him, hate or love...

Dont know what he will be remeberd for but he definetly will be.

Yep.

But of course as time goes by he'll be romaticized and immortalized as some type of beast who had to chase down his opponents to get anyone to face him ... instead of it being the other way around.

He's a ****in journeyman ... when he had the chance to take control of the division his heart and competitive spirit deserted him. He made some money. Good for him. Now, maybe we can make some progress to arranging fights that ****in matter in the heavyweight division now that he's outta the way.

Of course he WON't be remembered. He was a paper champ who defended his belt TWICE, to virtually unknown fighters.

LOL! He defended it once!

[DiegoFuego]

He'll be forgotten by 2007, guaranteed

[Verstyle]

he will be remembered but only in his country

[Derranged]

He will only be remembered if he comes back and wins another title or two or three. If not, then he may be remembered as just a question mark, a possible "could have been" but nothing great.

Vitali has given us nothing memorable as a Champ.

So, he will be remembered all right, as ....

1. The guy that had a chance to bring in a New Era of Heavyweights, by beating Lewis, but he'd didn't.
2. The guy that supposedly "retired" Lewis. But, how ****ed up is that? Lewis at least went-out fighting, while Vitali is retiring without fighting anybody!
3. The guy who defended his title once before retiring.
4. The guy that beat-up the guy's that beat-up his brother.
5. The guy that handed the Heavyweight division back to Don King.
