      his best win is on par with "boogeyman" ortiz.
      Look at the lull in the era of heavy, if you want another point of view.
      But I hear you loud and clear.

        They say he was tough , but then he did also quit v Byrd when many guys carried on with that injury.

        Vitali is always the guy that they said could beat whoever, but his resume is garbage in terms of really good wins and best known for giving an old Lewis a good few rounds before getting his face caved in.

        I’ve seen nothing in his style or resume to make me believe he could beat Fury. At least Wlad beat some guys like Povetkin, Haye etc.. and still come up short v Fury.
        Death, I think a portion of the resume issue was Vlad holding the other belts. I believe that kinda dealt Vitali a shcittier hand in terms of opponents. Just one nobody's opinion. I do hear you loud and clear though

          He looked completely sht and couldn’t pull the trigger from the little headmovement and feints Jennings gave him. A fight plenty of people, including Roy Jones said was close. He was way passed prime vs Fury. He showed in the end of that fight when he tried a little harder he could get to Fury and was cracking him with flush left hooks.

          Feinting takes lots of energy, and it’s a killer for an old guy which will be left behind on the reactions if he can’t outfient or break a guy out of the exercise.

              So what? Was he nearly prime then?
              Really doesn’t mean anything except styles.

              Dude was old either way. You need energy and focus to keep following a guy’s movements and to strike quickly before his head is no longer there. Why you can easily look great in the gym but sht in a fight. And why old guys end up unable to “pull the trigger”.

              Turning back the clock to add back the trigger finger that he showed he lost vs Jennings, changes the fight vs Fury drastically.

                Ok, and when was his prime? 2003 -2004? 2005 -2014?

                  Jenning was just where it was painfully obvious he was passed it. Like most noting Pacquiao slowed down after Margarito. It was clear. Except Klitschko was what? 37/38 already?

                  I didn’t watch Klitschko’s entire career to know his “prime”. His physical prime is similar to most. I know he was busy and jumped around alot in his younger days before gassing. But if you want the best Klitschko when the stars were aligned, mentally and physically ready, near when he fought Haye him I’d say. I’m sure there are Klitschko fanboys who could give you a more accurate answer.

                      Define "prime" Wlad. Knocked out by bum Ross Purity Wlad? Knocked out by Lamon Brewster Wlad? Knocked out by Corrie Sanders Wlad? Or home ref advantage jab & grab Clinchko Wlad?
