Vitali Klitschko Ibhof?

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

Wladimir clearly was the one dominating whilst Wladimir fought the Sosnowski's of the world.

Does his title reign make him deserving though?

That supplements must be damaging your brain pal...

* convicted drugs cheat (1996)

* beat 5 guys who were in the top 10 when they fought

* beat Sam Peter after a 4 year hiatus

* ducked Rahman

* 14 championship fights

* best win Corrie Sanders

* only lost due to injury and giving up

* never lost more than 3 rounds by any judges scorecard

* gave Lennox Lewis one of his tougher fights

What do you think?

1st ballot?

im assuming the ducking rahman was a joke? as youre normally a good poster. vitali belongs in there but I don't consider him a top 10 atg. not sure about 1st ballot tho

[IMDAZED]

I guess. Not a very impressive resume IMO

Nice smear campaign. He's getting in whether you like it or not.

vitali klitschko is a footnote on lennox lewis' legacy.

Losing to lennox lewis is the highlight of vitali klitschko's career.

Certainly. He is among the longest reigning HW champs in history and was very dominant.

His resume was ****.. put you in with disabled children and even you could be possibly dominant ...scratch that because you obviously are disabled ,you've got ****rideinaires disease :bukkake:

Vitali Klitschko is a footnote on Lennox Lewis' legacy.

Losing to Lennox Lewis is the highlight of Vitali Klitschko's career.

At least he wasn't KTFO by two clubfighters.

The irony is hilarious at OP who always accuses others of agendas when speaking about heavyweight history yet blatantly has one here.

- Positive PED test was during amateurs, has 0 impact on pros, about the same as results in ams have relevance to pros

- No one claims Vitali had a good resume in terms of names, it's common consensus he was a fighter more known for statistical dominance/accomplishments

- Yeah...ducked the mighty Rahman...was so scared he had to take 4 years off to make sure he could get away with it...in the prime of his career when he was the best heavyweight in the world

- Many lesser fighters have got into the HOF, so Vitali is a shoo-in by current standards

Vitali is very unfortunate that he was so unlucky to be injury prone leading to not only losing 4 years of his best prime years and be forced out while winning his biggest fights, but also leaving better opponents to Wlad. This means it's pretty much impossible to put him top 10 based on resume, but h2h he's definitely up there.

And goes into the HOF for sure.

Vitali's resume is terrible.

At least he wasn't KTFO by two clubfighters.

Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman would be the two best names on Vitali Klitschko's resume outside of Lewis.
