Vitali Klitschko: Underrated Champion

[leff]

Any fighter in history? LOL!

Why did he lose to Byrd?

ummmmm cause off his shoulder, vk dont even need to fight byrd again he whopped his ass bad last time.

Whopped his ass by qutting and losing his title on his stool with the same injury Evander Holyfield suffered vs Byrd but fought for 12 rounds with?

i dont know about holyfield when he fought byrd, but i do know that vk easily outboxed byrd, and know that vk would win a rematch therefore i dont need a rematch.

[BLOODSHED]

LOL, it was the SAME injury as Holyfield. Except one fighter is a man. Guess who I'm alluding to.

It doesn't work that way.

He LOST to Byrd, and never avenged it. What you think is irrelevent. Byrd was one of the only two class fighters that he ever faced, and he LOST to both.

He had an injured shoulder, and elected to quit on his stool and give up his title rather than coast for 3 more rounds not even needing to thow another punch.

this is yet another reason why he was a terrible champion. he is a quitter and a coward.

i think its necessary for him to fight a fight where i know the outcome, if he is fighting again i would much rather see him fighting brewster ore toney.

who knows what those 3 next round would have dont to his career.

and off course his 2 losses are to the 2 best men he ever fought,thats kinda useall.

Avenge?

Vitali could have "called out" Byrd at any time. This is not to say the fight would have materalized simply because Vitali calls him out, but, truth is he didn't try to make that fight happen. Instead he eagrely sought Williams, who really had no mentionable role in the Heavy scene.

I'm tired of it too!

I am tired of hearing what a lousy champion Vitali Klitschko was. Hogwash is what I say to those who denigrate this fine, but injury plagued fighter. Upon the retirement of Lennox Lewis, the Ukrainian giant was the finest heavyweight around. [details]

I am also very tired of hearing what a terrible/lousy Champion that Vitali Klitchko was.

I'm tired of hearing the obvious being stated over and over again.
