    Prime Lewis would always stop him. So would Bowe but in a back and forth war. Ali would be way too slick and smart for him. Holyfield on points in a war. Tyson another guy who would make the ref save Klitschko's face.

    Basicely Klitschko's downfall is his weak facial skin and that he's not used to getting hit hard repeatedly because of all the bums he fought and dominated. His chin can take the punishment but his face can't.

      Vitali was pretty overrated

      I think there were plenty of guys that could have taken him including his brother

          There will always be big punchers of sufficient height AND speed/skill that could potentially sneak a stoppage out of Vitali..

          There is nobody prior to Mike Tyson who stands any chance of even a fluke victory whatsoever, so we can safely say that we are confined to big punchers there.

          The 2 occasions Vitali DID lose were however due to even rarer circumstances where an unfortunate skin tearing prevented him from continuing and an unfortunate shoulder injury prevented him from continuing. As these events are more to do with luck than anything else, we can safely overlook these types of defeats as well.

          The third filter should include those fighters that could have beaten Vitali at the early and later stages of his career when they were "primer" and Vitali was at a compromised stage. For instance...

          - David Haye

          imo would have beaten Vitali right near the end there, but of course we all know that a prime Vitali would have smashed him good.

          So basically, what we should be looking at are the boxers which could be envisioned might beat Vitali with both "legitimacy" and "consistency".

          Which narrows the list right down to just 3 boxers...

          - Wladimir Klitschko
          - Lennox Lewis
          - Mike Tyson

          These 3 guys are the ONLY boxers that need to be considered. You dont't have to know about any others.

          Of course, there are cases to be made for Vitali against all 3 of these guys (and likewise too of course).

          It's just possible that after all the filters are applied,

          NOBODY legitimately and consistently could beat Vitali Klitschko!

          He is possibly the H2H GOAT!

            Vaughn Bean was making Vitali miss at points. Imagine what a prime Ali would do.
            Haw haw haw....

            Pppplease!!!

            Just stop man!

            Which part of Ali's "prime" career could possibly lead to the conclusion that Ali would even be ALLOWED to box Vitali ****in Klitschko?
