Vitali's legacy

[JAB5239]

So you are not a real man then. You failed to provide your list of HW's above Vitali! LMAO.

No, I provided a list of 20 heavyweight greats. You sir are another liar and a hypocrite who himself refuses to provide a list.

Let me reiterate: You failed to provide a list of HW's rated above Vitali. So you obviously do not believe in your own arguments like a real man would (your words).

[Jedi Vader]

Why do you always resort to lies? Go ahead and post the link to where I ever said overrated Vittles was an ATG. Fact is, most of boxingscene agrees with me that he isn't. And no you don't have to provide a list. But a real man who believed in his arguments would. I guess we know your convictions aren't very strong about you hero.

Tremendous post.

So you are not a real man then. You failed to provide your list of HW's above Vitali! LMAO.

Yet you chickened out of posting yours.

Who knows? Sometimes he peaks that way. Other times he says that Vitali only JUST missed the cut of all-time greatness, only to retract said statement claiming it belonged to someone else. So we simply do not know where he stands.

Many boxing followers discredit Vitali Klitschko's achievements in the ring, claiming his resume to be 'weak', i.e. he hasn't fought good enough opposition to be able to claim greatness.

Will Vitali go down in boxing history as an ATG in your opinion?

Of course he's an ATG. He is for several reasons. Here are a few:

1) He has never been knocked down or out as a pro.
2) Has never been losing at a pro fights conclusion.
3) Has the 2nd highest KO ratio in heavyweight championship boxing history.
4) Has an outstanding 15-2(12) record in title fights.
5) Has the longest layoff and return to win a title fight in his 1st fight back.
6) Has an outstanding overall record of 45-2(41).
7) Is still fighting and dominating at 42 years of age.

Dude, no offense, but Jabs is right on this. You are not being honest. I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

if you review his resume there are 45 reasons why he isn't an ATG.

Of course he's an ATG. He is for several reasons. Here are a few:

1) He has never been knocked down or out as a pro. (but he's never fought the best, besides Lewis who smashed him)
2) Has never been losing at a pro fights conclusion (except for his two losses)
3) Has the 2nd highest KO ratio in heavyweight championship boxing history (but hasn't fought the best)
4) Has an outstanding 15-2(12) record in title fights (but hasn't fought the best)
5) Has the longest layoff and return to win a title fight in his 1st fight back (but hasn't fought the best since)
6) Has an outstanding overall record of 45-2(41) (so does many others)
7) Is still fighting and dominating at 42 years of age. (impressive)

Fixed it up for you.

His dominance and longevity, him being able to make that extraordinary comeback so late in his career. His dominance in the ring, how he methodically breaks his opponent down. His power. His iron chin, never been knocked down, never lost a decision, his only two losses coming by way of injury, ahead on the scorecards vs Byrd and Lewis.
One of the strongest hw's ever, one of the most intimidating too. Always in great shape, there's never been a champ his size in such an athletic shape, only his lil' bro.

Bump this ^^^^^
