Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko, Will He Return? Wladimir Says 'No Way'

[Monaco Slim]

Wishful thinking.

TKO6 is the highest accomplishment of either brother, sorry to say and I was rooting for Vitali.. If LL had granted the rematch, who knows?

Both brothers are more accomplished than Muhammad Ali

Wladimir Klitschko HW champion for 9 years and counting and Vitali for 5 years.

He isn't coming back again. Much respect to a great champion and now a great politician.

What would he prove by returning? By retiring he already proved that Deontay Wilder is a coward's coward. The moment he retired, Deontay Wilder suddenly jumped at the opportunity to steal his belt.

No, he didn't. Vitali retired years ago; it wasn't until last year that Wilder turned his sights to the WBC title. And LOL at "steal." Gimme a ****in break with the undue hate

Was that way to try and antagonize me? Like I give a sh$t.

Vitali punked two of the three guys that stopped Wlad legitimately.

We was the better fighter but obviously doesn't have the better resume.

Make no mistake about it though, Wlad's career only went the way it did because Vitali retired. Period.

Based on the only thing that matters, their record.

There's a lot more to it than just the record. Vitali made more money and all but beat a lagend while knocking out two of the three guys that stopped Wlad.

I said Vitali was the better fighter, not that he has the better resume.

And it was proven that he was.

He could do that without a training camp.

There is no doubt that Vitali was the greater fighter. Much stronger chin, stamina,workrate,ring IQ, punch variety etc. He also didn't have to clinch every 10 seconds. If they had fought, he would have knocked out Wladimir without a doubt. Vitali was the true champion of the era and successor to Lewis as he won Lewis' lineal title and never lost it in the ring. Wladimir has only had the career he has had because of Vitali's injury layoffs. Had Vitali stayed healthy and fought all those years, Wladimir would have continued to be a lesser titleist.

Quitali will always be the man who folds like a cheap suit when the screws are turned. One day probably sooner than later, the unfortunate citizens of Kiev will find this out the hard way.

wlad has much more one punch power tho than vitali and hes much quicker. vitali always did better with the sluggers while wlad did better with the slick boxers like byrd. if vitali would have had wlads power and hand speed it would have been scary
