Vitali Arreola and thoughts on everything on this thread
First let me start by saying this. I havn't posted or read anything on the message boards in a while because I truly think alot of people on here are totally rediculous. Not so much with oppinions but just how serious people take and argue this ****. It is refreshing to see people,(for the most part), discussing this fight as well as where Vitali stands amongst heavyweight greatness.
I'll start with the fight. I have seen basically every Klitschko fight between the brothers in the last 5 or 6 years. I believe Vitali saturday night put on the best performance I have ever seen between either Klitschko. I thought Vitali would win by a KO in the 5th round but the performance he gave was much more impressive to me then had he just Ko'd Arreola. Arreola gave Vitali more of a fight then anyone has either Klitschko in a very long time, but lets be real... Vitali whooped his ass.
Sure you can talk Darchinyan, Prince Nazeem, but I think Vitali is the most unorthodox and awkward looking fighter I have ever seen. The guy is 6'8, has bad foot work, appears slow, fights with his hands down, and due to his awkward style, doesnt put all his power behind his punches... yet has stopped 37 of 40 opponents!
Iv'e never rooted for or been impressed with the Klitschko's, but I was truly impressed with Vitali in that fight. Iv'e I always thought if you pressured either one of them they can't fight going backwards, but in all honesty, I think Vitali fights better going backwards. That what was so impressive. He boxed the **** out of Arreola. Hit him with ease moving backwards.
Someone was crying that it isn't fair because he is taller or ran backwards, but its like isn't that fighting smart and using your abilities and strengths to your advantage? I know Iv'e gone too long on this and there is alot more I'd like to write, but let me just say this... The reason people on this thread are arguing who would win between Vitali and the likes of Tyson, Ali etc... is because that was a brilliant performance and beating put on by Vitali Klitschko Saturday night.
