Vitali Klitschko v Bermane Stiverne - who would have won?

[Boxing Goat]

Lewis would have destroyed Sanders.

I personally think so too, but then again I thought he would have done so to McCall and Rahman in the first fights as well.

At least they were man enough to grant him a rematch.

Let's not pretend Sanders was some world-beater. Before he beat Wlad, he lost to Rahman. An in-shape, motivated Lewis stops Sanders.

Who did Sanders beat that was of note AFTER beating Wlad?

I don't think anyone disputes Lennox beats/stops Corrie. It's just a fair point that if Corrie managed to land one of those flush left hand bombs, Lennox would struggle to take it.

Just because he's built barrell chested means **** all.

The dude has an 8 pack of abs showing. He was in great shape. That crap about him being fat and/or out of shape is complete fabricated trash to discredit Vitali.

looks like he just ate a barrel of donuts. 254 pounds and he's 6 foot tall. do i have to explain why this is a terrible combination for boxing? do i have to explain basic laws of physics to you?

Winning 58-56 means you kicked the other guy's ass.

Klitschko fanboy logic, everyone.

Klitschko LANDED 60% of the punches that landed in the fight. Threw & landed MORE shots in EACH & every one of the 6 rds fought. He outlanded & outthrew Lewis overall.. including jabs & power punches. I'd say when a fighter does all this in 6 rds... he got the better of his opponent. Lewis managed to outcut KLITSCHKO.... THAT IS ALL HE DID THAT was better & fortunately for him this got him an unearned W & an eventual early retirement once every one of those 160 KLITSCHKO punches were absorbed in the subsequent future.

If the Lewis fight had continued, Vitali would be blind in that eye, and forced to retire.

Yeah but who actually did the retiring?

vitali wasn't even man enough to fight rahman so what are you talking about? that would have been the best win of his career but he didn't want to fight him. he would rather fight stationary blobs like danny williams, kirk johnson, retire then come back for some more blob hunting! sam peter, juan carlos gomez, chris arreola, etc...

There's no question that Lewis has the better resume.

vitali instead of fighting rahman

Doesn't matter who he beat before or after... he had RAHMAN PRACTICALLY THROUGH THE ROPES BEFORE gassing had Wlad down 5 times in 120 seconds & GAVE Vitali a little scare for a 30 second interval... that's 3 CHAMPIONS right there.. so don't give me that in shape motivated Lewis crap... the fact that Lewis doesn't come in shape 100% of the time like both brother's Holyfield or even an Haye SPEAKS volumes about him but let's keep giving him a pass & making excuses for his poor work ethic as a champion.

Name some wins that either of the Klits have that are better than Holyfield (He won the first fight), Ruddock, Bruno, Morrison, Tyson, and Golota.
