Vitali Klitschko Ibhof?

[Jedi Vader]

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

Against whom?

[VG_Addict]

At least he wasn't KTFO by two clubfighters.

Lewis's resume blows Vitali's out of the water.

Holyfield
Tyson
Golota
Mercer
Bruno
Ruddock
Morrison
Tua

[BattlingNelson]

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

Well I dont know about that, but I do know that they are such a huge blemish on Lewis record that it prevents him from being anything but a borderline top 10 HW.

Direct me to the post where I compared their resumes please.

[Weltschmerz]

Dominant at what? He played second fiddle to his little brother for most of his career.

Yet he was still a dominating force in his own right - quite impressive, especially his comeback.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

He would have given any HW a tough fight no matter what era. Always scarier than his brother IMO. Definitely belongs in the HOF.

The way to remove blemishes is to avenge them. Both losses were avenged.

Given that he quit against a former welterweight without avenging the loss, how big of a blemish is that on Vitali's dreams of cracking the top 100?

[Death_Adder]

* 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?

Ducked Rahman?

The same Rahman that got battered for 7 one-sided rounds by Wlad?
The same Rahman that got Knocked out of the ring by Maskaev? and got KO'd again by him again in the rematch?
The same Rahman that lost to an 80 year of Holyfield and managed to grow a baby fetus on his forehead in the procress?
The same Rahman that couldn't beat a fat old Toney,?
The same Rahman that lost to John f.cking Ruiz?.
The same Rahman that get knocked the F out by Lewis?

Really? People are still with the Vitali ducked Rahman nonsense?

[daggum]

his resume sucks. why would you put him in just because his brother was good? i think bobby pac should be in.
