No hw in this area can become a great unless he beats both klits or they fight each other but as long as they both keep winning they cannot beat anyone great.. too bad
i know so before people start stating that the klits are the goats they should look at what the division looked like but yes i agree its not their fault
Klits fought and beat the best of this era,so they cleaned HW division and my only question is what would have happened if Vitali fought lewis again.
you dismiss tyson rather easily.....he had 15 fights with former, future, or current heavyweight champions...when there was 3 belts...and not 3 WBA belts how about just champions or former champions or future champions? throw out all time greats for a minute since there are none the last 20 years when you take out tyson, holyfield, lewis, foreman Tysons list - win or lose...his resume for fighting elite guys was pretty crazy, especially most all were by age 24 Trevor Berbick 31-4 WBC Heavyweight Champion had just beaten 26-0 Pinklon Thomas Berbick goes 15 rounds with Holmes - 2 with Tyson Bonecrusher Smith WBA Heavyweight Champion coming off KO1 Tim witherspoon to win title Pinklon Thomas 29-1 former WBC Heavyweight Champion , only loss 12 round dec Tony Tucker 34-0 IBF Heavyweight Champion coming off tko11 Buster douglas to win title vacated by spinks Tyrell Biggs 15-0 super heavyweight olympic gold medalist Larry Holmes 48-2 (supposedly ancient at 38 former WBC and IBF Heavyweight Champion was so old he some how got to fight in 2 more heavyweight championship fights going 12 rounds each time Tony Tubbs 24-1-0 former WBA Heavyweight Champion only loss a 15 rounder to greg page tyson crushes in 2 Michael Spinks 31-0-0 former undisputed light heavyweight champ, former IBF Heavyweight champion, current Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion Frank Bruno 32-2 future WBC Heavyweight Champion fight 1 Frank Bruno current WBC Heavyweight Champion fight 2 Buster Douglas - future Champion Bruce Seldon current WBA Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield - NUFF said Evander Holyfield - Nuff said Lennox Lewis - Nuff said
closest is vitali vs lennox...... lennox was well past his prime and out of shape, ok vitali was ahead on the scorecards but the fight lasts 12 rounds......not 6..... and lennox still managed to even in a well past his prime and out of shape mangle the **** out of vitali's face and get the stoppage.... no matter how good vitali may be if he gets hit in the face he is going to bruise like a banana.
ok so lets ask ali frazier johnson marciano louis ect ect to start boxing again shall we..what a rediculas excuse to hate on a boxer..i mean its actually childish....its like saying barcalona arnt the greatest team in the world because they never beat any atg teams..wtf like..grow up ya tits
lewis say he was past his prime and out of shape ,but he wasn't past his prime and out of shape when he fought mccall and rahman,right? what happened then? he got KTFO and they still gave him a rematch ! lewis promised Vitali a rematch ,but then *****'d out. I guess, britards are too dumb to understand that.
atschwhere have i said that im a hater have you read the thread even tho the klits havent beat **** its not their fault
Vitali beat Lewis, no matter what the official record says. - and I can't believe I just responded to an OP who called us all ****s. atsch
