    I also, honestly believe, skill wise etc that Golota would have been the best guy on Wlad's resume. Golota of '97 that is.
    You suck ****.

      Frank Bruno would literally be the best fighter on Vitali's resume.
      Biased propoganda to accommodate another ones resume...

      Frank Bruno was beating LL before the stoppage and Bruno had only held a world title for one fight... LL was fighting everyone elses left overs.
      Hard to take you serious when the likes of Tim Witherspoon was beating Bruno

        Frank Bruno was a big dude but he was talent wise a bum..

        He was a so so decent opponent then.. He would be a so so decent opponent now.

        Calling Bruno the best opponent VK would have faced is proof of how low the argument has dropped against VK.

        Johnson would have wiped Bruno, no ****ing doubt, anybody can see that! lol

          Lewis was grossly out of shape. There's no escaping that: it's a fact.
          6 lbs over his normal fighting weight is not grossly overweight. In fact, you could even still see definition in his physique and midsection.

          Saying he was somehow out of shape is laughable.

          Maybe 6 lbs is a lot to a light weight but not to a 250+ lb man.

            You're the troll - no one in their right mind would pick anyone on Vitali's resume to be more than a Michael Grant on Lewis' resume.
            Michael Grant is one of the top opponents on Lewis's resume!

              Why do you keep naming fighters who are better than anyone on Klitschko's resume?

                In terms of height.

                    Vitali's resume is garbage. Chisora, Arreola, and Charr have lost every time they've stepped up.

                      Sparring at the gym and then fighting when the lights are on you are two different things. I doubt any of the guys you claimed were better than Lewis could actually beat him by the time the mid 90s arrived and Lewis was in his prime. Looking good in the gym and then fighting when the crowd and lights are on you are two different things.
