Better Resume: Chris Byrd or Vitali Klitschko???

[Boxing Goat]

Byrd has a stoppage win over Vitali on his resume

Which means exactly nothing considering how it occured.

Only on Planet Klitschko...

[Larry the boss]

Byrd has the better resume easily

Holyfield
Vitali
Tua

better then any wins Vitali has

[Rip Chudd]

We can take Ali's top opponents and work them up to Vitali's opponents...

Take George Foreman. Give him some real boxing skills. Give him a bigger gas tank. Make him heftier. Make him faster. Paint him white. THERE'S your Chris Arreola!

Take Joe Frazier. Pump him full of steroids for about 2 years. Give him a hard punch. Give him a hard chin. Make him taller. Fix his blind eye. THERE'S your Dereck Chisora!

Take Spinks, pump him full of steroids, improve his skills, chin, power the lot, get him off of other drugs, give him psychology to remove the loser image, paint him white. THERE'S your Tomasz Adamek!

And so on...

Serious question: Are you mentally ******ed?

[beez721]

tua and holyfield were badly faded

[Y0@NN]

Larry Donald has a win vs Holyfield too, that means he ranks higher according to boxrec stats. If the ghost of Tyson had managed to beat Danny Williams, Vitali would have an "atg win" on his record. That would make him so much better...

He has a win over Vitali himself.....and faded or not they are both better wins then anything Vitali has

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I will say vitali, due to him being more dominant...

Byrd struggled and arguably lost to fres, Golata, mccline.
Holyfield was pretty much done and shot by the time byrd fought him

Vitali's resume is better with dominant wins over adamek, arreolla, chisora

If Byrd's win over Vitali was a genuine win in terms of actually winning on merit, it would perhaps swing his resume above Vit's. Some very good NAMES on Byrd's ledger. However, Vitali's longevity, dominance, statistical achievements, and performance v an ATG, as well as dominating Byrd before his body gave out, give him the clear edge.

When you think of Lennox Lewis, his resume was already set and so was his legacy, no one talks about Vitali because of the circumstances of that fight as something that really made his resume so much better, although arguably Vitali (near or at prime) was the best fighter Lennox ever faced or beat.

Similarly, no one really counts Vitali as a genuine win on merit for Byrd, it's merely a stat on paper. Admittedly, that stat is a favourable one to have, but everybody knows Vitali is and was a far superior fighter to Byrd.
