An old, unfit Lewis beat a prime Vitali on a couple of weeks notice. Definitely overrated.

His resume isn’t great to be honest but he beat Hide at a young stage in his boxing career. So that for me was a good win on his resume. Wladimir definitely has a better resume than his older bro. Still think Vitali is the more dangerous boxer out of them doe.Comment

I think Vitali is a great heavyweight. You say his loses as if he had lots of loses but those were the only two loses in his career of almost 60 fights. Both of his only two loses were due to injuries that could happen to anyone. He was miles ahead of Byrd and easily beating him when he injured his shoulder and quit to prevent permanent damage to the shoulder. He was vastly superior to Byrd and minus the injury would knock him out. Lewis was a great heavyweight but I think Vitali would have knocked him out had he not been cut. Lewis cut him with legal blows so I am not trying to take away Lewis's win. Still Lewis was offered big money to rematch Vitali and retired instead. Vitali has only two loses in his career and both were due to injuries and not to being out fought. Vitali had a huge number of KOs. I think over 50 KOs. He also had a large number of successful world champion title defenses. To say Vitali with all his KO wins and title defense and only two losses due to injuries plus never being knock down even once, has a garbage resume is just ****** and wrong. Vitali would beat the hell out of AJ in my opinion. If Ruiz can knock him out in 4 rounds he would not figure to do well at all with a monster like Vitali.Comment

Damn. What a liar you are. The word is quit, not quitted and he quit to Byrd to avoid permanent damage to in injured shoulder. He was beating Byrd easily and quit do to the injury not due to any fear of Byrd who he was beating so easily. Lewis was the heavyweight champion defending his title. He wasn't uninspired but that is your excuse for him. Fat stubby Ruiz stopped AJ in 4 rounds. Tall athletic 250 pound Vitali would flat murder him. Vitali won 45 fights with an amazing 41 KO wins against only 2 injury caused losses. He won the WBC world heavyweight title on a KO and successfully defended it 11 times including 8 KOs. He was never knocked down once in his entire career so your overrated Josh is not sparking him out..You call that a garbage resume which makes you a garbage poster. All of the threads you have started that I have read have been negative garbage threads trashing some good boxer.Comment

His resume sucks. But his performances were mint.
He's the best Hw of all-time, not named Tyson Fury.
Yeah, I remember wanting to be so pissed off. So angry at that injustice. Not just for Vitali, but for Boxing History, when one of the greatest Heavyweight title fights didn't reach its natural conclusion. A proper changing of hands was about to take place until typical crookedness took hold. A level of shamelessness only Boxing can and WILL achieve, and I wanted to be so angry anyway.
I wanted to... but I couldn't get the image of Vitali quitting on his stool against Byrd out of my head.
Karma's a bytsch.Comment

I don't know what his thinking was. I really don't want to pretend i know better than Vitali Klitchko what's good for Vitali Klitchko.
But he didn't need to use his arm to win. He literally could have just stood there, protecting his shoulder, for two rounds and walked away with the fight. He had already won. Byrd wasn't going to hurt him. He just needed to stand there for 6 minutes. That's all.
it wasn't quitting, per se. but it was unbecoming of a champion.Comment

I never understood the hype around the Klitschkos, outside of their size and power. As boxers they were stiff and one-dimensional. Nothing spectacular about either of them. Their size advantage is what really put them over the top.Comment
