Can you be considered an ATG when these are your 10 best wins?

    He is not even a hall of famer... What klitschko fans don't understand is most north americans first exposure to vitali was the HBO fight with chris byrd when he quit. That will always be the first thing i think of when someone says vitali... The second thing i think of is TKO6...

      he lost to the two best fighters he fought. i don't know why he would be great or in the hall of fame. a shi-tty long list of bums? well that convinces me. sven ottke has a much better case than vitali. he has more bums on his list and never lost.

        Obvious trolling is not even amusing.

        People should try being more subtle.

          See the funny thing is I'm not bothered about British fighters being champs. Infact I critique British boxers than others. So yawn, and regarding Lennox I'm not bothered I couldn't care less where he was born or whatever. Still a British boxer and still KTFO out of every boxer that came into the ring with him that hailed from America. Haha still but hurt that your last hope Rahman was dropped with a right and left haha and fell like a ton of bricks. Anyway anyone who bases their support majority on patriotism is in fact an ignorant moron that passively ignores talent haha. Sad sad man.

            Actually I had no problem with Lennox as champion. So yawn. Nice to to know you're not "pro-British" just "anti-American"

              Anti American? Like I said my brother I appreciate talent no matter what walk of life the fighter comes from. In fact, most of my favourite fighters past or present come from American! Would you like me to list them for you? Hmm

                  I actually like the K-bros. I put them in my top ten heavies but lack of resume puts them in the back. Yeah it sucks that this era is horrible but it's not our fault that the best two are brothers. Maybe they beat a lot of ATG and maybe they lose to the ATG, we would never know. But them being dominate in this era doesn't make them great. How many heavies from the
                  90's would've ran through these bums (HW Div)? I cant put them any higher, one lost to Lennox and they wont fight each other. Title defenses against nobodies doesn't = great. SORRY

                    you shouldn't act all surprised when someone repays you in your own coin.

                    Would you prefer I list my favorite fighters who aren't from the US? I suspect it's a bit more extensive.....

                      Just curious as to what boxingscene thinks about these fighters and if having them as your best wins is enough to make a fighter an all time great heavyweight?

                      Peter - Crude slugger who went tooth and nail with a former middleweight

                      Adamek - Former lightheavyweight who's best win at heavy was Arreola

                      Arreola - Has never beaten another top 10 heavyweight

                      Donald - His career best win is over a ten years past his best Tim Witherspoon

                      Hide - His best win was over 11-1 Michael Bentt

                      Sanders - Never beat a top ten fighter before or after Wlad. Was stopped by Nate Tubbs

                      Williams - Come on, this is a guy who lost to Julius Francis

                      Kirk Johnson - Possessed skills but in his biggest fights always came in fat and out of shape

                      Gomez - Former cruiserweight who beat a few guys thought to be decent but were either past it or went on to accomplish nothing

                      Solis - Talented but still a novice by professional standards. Ridiculed for never being in shape
                      And hes going to end his career as an Old scared coward running from a man half his size.
