Vitali Klitschko: Where will you rank him on the list of Heavyweights????

[4Corners]

Vitali Klitschko's career:

3x Heavyweight Champion
1x Lineal Heavyweight Champion
12 Heavyweight title defenses (if he beats Charr of course)

Herbie Hide (WBO HW champ), Vaughn Bean, Kirk Johnson (Top 10 HW), Corrie Sanders (#3 ranked HW), Samuel Peter (WBC HW champ/#2 HW), Juan Carlos Gomez (Top 10 HW), Chris Arreola (Top 10 HW), Kevin Johnson, Shannon Briggs, Odlanier Solis, Tomasz Adamek (#3 ranked HW), and Dereck Chisora.

Where do you rank him on the Heavyweight list all-time based on career-era-resume???

Not very high.

I put 16-20. I can easily think of 16-17 HW's I'd ranked ahead of him, or around that number. Most of his hardcore fans seem to think he dominated the Top HW's in his era (and even if he really did, it's been a weak HW era no doubt since Bowe-Lewis-Moorer-Holyfield era winded down), but he only beat like 6 fighters in the Top 10 at HW. There were plenty of other guys ranked high at HW that he could have fought to "dominate" and "clean out" the division the way his fans talk about him.

Don't see how he's a Top 20 ATG HW.

I think his brother is just about a Top 20 ATG HW and he's obviously much greater than Vitali.

Agree. I was probably giving him the benefit of this thread, I don't know. I always thought Wlad's career and resume was better. H2H, I think they could be Top 10, but based on career, I don't even think it's close to the Top 10.

You think Vitali is a HOF fighter????? We say guys like Corrales and Castillo, who arguably had at least as good if not better resume's are borderline. So you think Vitali is a HOF??? I think he'll get in the HOF still.

I think he's borderline.

But he'll definitely get in.
