Vitali: the myth

[Kimmy]

First, I need to say I have this feeling Vitali will fight again. Vitali is without doubt one of the greatest fighters ever. Vitali will be known as this always. I will tell you why. Because, there is no image of Vitali ever defeated by an opponent in the boxing ring. Only injury stopped Vitali. Vitali was never hurt, he was never knocked down, or knocked out by an opponent. And most important, he was never outboxed or outclassed by another opponent. Everyone who is not biased against the Klichkos knows everything is true. If Lennox Lewis could not knock out or hurt Vitali with his punch, then no one can hurt Vitali in the history of boxing. Vitali is one of the greatest boxers ever. Vitali knocked out his opponents almost everytime. Vitali has one of the greatest chins ever, and he can knockout everyone. This is the truth that no one can change, and this is why Vitali is one of the greatest boxers ever. I have this feeling Vitali will fight again!

This is a good sensible answer, shame it took 12 pages of this thread to find one!

And who the hell is Tua? Oleg Maskaev was defeating Tua for 11 rounds, as was Rahman, all up until the stoppage.

PS Tua also lost to Byrd, Lewis, and scored a draw with Rahman.

Tell me who the hell is Tua? A man with knockout power good chin, and a strong left hook.

But at least Tua wasn't STOPPED by Byrd, lol

First, I have this feeling Vitali will fight again. Second, Vitali is without doubt one of the greatest fighters ever. And Mike Tyson fans are hoping this is not true. But, yes, it is true! Vitali will be known as this always. I will tell you why. Because, there is no image ever of Vitali ever being defeated by an opponent in the boxing ring. Only injury stopped Vitali. Vitali was never hurt once, he was never knocked down, or knocked out by an opponent. And most important, he was never outboxed or outclassed by another opponent. Everyone who is not biased against the Klichkos knows everything is true. If Lennox Lewis could not knock out or hurt Vitali with his punch, then no one can hurt Vitali in the history of boxing. It is impossibe to knock Vitai down. Vitali is one of the greatest boxers ever. Vitali knocked out his opponents almost everytime. Vitali has one of the greatest chins ever, and he can knockout everyone. This is the truth that no one can change, and this is why Vitali is one of the greatest boxers ever.

I have to say it is something amazing and rare the way you seem to have preserved your being and maintained a kind of purity amongst what is here and essentially everywhere, total immersion in the creations of the self proclaimed "enlightend," or "illuminists."

They, it, are like fire, it was one of their symbols. They, it, spread, and consume. It consumes even me, quite obviously. You, it does not consume, so rare and precious.

In you it can be seen the true light.

Because is career was cut short in his prime, Klitscko might evolve into a myth. The fact is he only lost two fights and they were on injuries and he was winning both fights on the score cards.

Also, if Don King does manage to establish one dominant champion, wouldn't there always be the wuestion of 'what would have happend if Kitscko was around?'

It is possible Vitali might make a comeback one day and partially answer these questions however for the time being he remains a 'what if'.

My question is, do you think this myth gains more credit over time. In few years Klitscko might be regarded in a higher manner simply because he retired champion at his peak.

he will be a myth among steroid
users in the future.

A distinction may have to be made here between myth and legend. In common usage, it is among the highest accolade to call someone a "legend", but when one is called a "myth".... Well, the label is among the farthest from flattery.

...just to help the debate along...
