Better Resume: Chris Byrd or Vitali Klitschko???

[Nay_Sayer]

Lennox was outboxed and outslugged by Vitali and you damn well know it.

LOL.

Ole Quitali couldn't manage to go 7 rounds with an ole disinterested out-of-shape Lennox Lewis.

Outboxed and Outslugged?

TKO6

FACTS, learn to live with them.

Hey people, a guy with a huge red bar of karma just called me a village idiot.

You need to look closely in the mirror and re-assess you life apparently.

Oh really?

Have you checked the poll, Mr Village Idiot?

Perhaps it's not I who needs to re-assess but YOU.

LOL...

It's super easy to do. Vitali beat 9 fighters in the ring top ten rankings in his 15 title fight wins. Has never been dropped by anyone and took an ATG life and death. His two losses were to the #1 heavy at the time, Lewis and when Byrd beat him he was also in the Ring top ten.

Byrd lost brutally twice to the best fighter he ever faced and lost to Vitali barring the injury.

You're a blind hater if you honestly think Byrd's 6-2 title fight resume is anywhere close to Vitali's. It's not really even worth discussing.

He didn't lose to vitali barring injury, he beat vitali. Plain and simple. You keep describing who Byrd lost to but all you do with vitali is list rankings.

Vitali lost to the 2 best opponents he faced, once quitting. One of them was Byrd.
That has to matter.

FACTS, learn to live with them.

A NEAR-PRIME Lennox Lewis was out-boxed and out-slugged and only luckily got past a PRE-PRIME Vitali Klitschko.

AND

A PRE-PRIME Vitali Klitschko, retired a NEAR-PRIME Lennox Lewis.

Fact!

AND

A PRE-PRIME Vitali Klitschko, retired a NEAR-PRIME Lennox Lewis.

Fact!

Vitali lost dude, plain and simple. should they have let him bleed to death?

[Boxing Goat]

But Byrd lucked out and has a paper only win over a man who is 15-2 in title fights

I know right, glad you came to your senses.

It doesn't matter for sh%t. Vitali got the better of them both and would have knocked either out in a rematch. Lewis retired knowing he would have to face Vitali again. That's a proven fact. Before the fight he was at the peak of hiw powers. Afterwards, he was shot. I call BS. He got whooped. Period.

[Larry the boss]

Byrd even said in the post-fight interview that he was getting outboxed. No one is arguing with the result on paper, but there is a reason no one really acknowledges it as something of significance. "But Spinks beat ancient Parkinson's stricken Muhammad Ali though" - so is his resume up there with the ATGs??

Ali rematched Spinks and won..and Ali was 36...thats ancient?

[PainfromUkraine]

Ali rematched Spinks and won..and Ali was 36...thats ancient?

Yes, almost 37 and he was well-past his best, not sure how you can disagree on that. He was a diminishing fighter at the time. And Spinks was average at best, but he gave Ali the immediate rematch. If Lennox had done the same to Vitali, we might not be talking about that fight today.

Speculation on a ko is not a fact. You don't get the 100 meter gold medal if you are ahead at the 60 meter mark. Boxing is about the outcome, not what happened at the midpoint.

Vitali lost to Lewis. He quit against Byrd. Like him, love him, you can't erase these facts.
