Emanuel |Stewards take on Vitali

: Vitali Klitschko retired for several years before he came back to reclaim a portion of the heavyweight title. Does Vitali Klitschko still have time to be remembered as one of the greats?

A: I don’t think he’s going to enough time because even though he had his biggest claim to fame, and he tells me that and we laugh about it, he says, ‘The biggest thing that made me famous was losing to Lennox Lewis’, and he has still done nothing to really exceed that believe it or not still. It’s just a case of not having any fighters around for him to be the big name and the fact that he won’t be around long enough where you can say, well, he didn’t have any big name fighters but he had a reign for like five years or six years so you have to give some credit for that even though he fought a bunch of nobodies, but I don’t think he’s going to have that long of a career and that many big heavyweight championship fights to really reach that level. So I don’t think he’s in a good position to be considered a great yet, but who knows. He still may have a fight, you never know. He could end up with a high profile fight with David Haye possibly himself, or Nikolai Valuev with two of the biggest men ever. That would definitely be fights that would really be standouts in his career when people look back at him, but right now he would need about two more years to continue if he just dominated over these types of

I've been watching some more Monzon, he is awesome, i can't believe FNC gave him a shit jab & a normal chin.

I just lazily yoinked ironchamp's old avatar, i reckon it's been long enough now!

Ye he is something special. His ring generalship is astonishing.

Nothing wrong with avatar yoinking. Looks like we already yoinked this thread for a natter.

DonBoxer, it seems we agree 100% on Monzon. He was among the elite.

i suppose he is correct. i do not see Vitali as any upper level "great". could he have been? i think so. if somehow he was to fight and beat Haye convincingly, i still do not think i would. there is too little in this division right now in terms of talent and greatness to be able to set himself apart. the next 'big name' could be 1-0-0 right now and by the time he got up, Vitali will be long gone.

an influx of cruiser champs like Adamek and Haye, even if he beats both, is not enough for me. there has to be true heavyweight domination off skilled opposition for me to see him that high. right place, wrong time.
