    Relax guys that article was written back in 2005. History has shown that it certainly is NOT the case that Vitali is the worst or bad champion but back then it was a viable question/sentiment. In other words if you had written an article in late 2004 saying Wladimir Klitschko is a overrated bum whose career is going to mimick that of Tommy morrison ( a guy with power who can dish out the heat but has a glass jaw and can't take the heat back) who will never be a dominant HW champion......
    That sentiment would've been totally warranted back then. So you klit fans don't get your panties all in a bunch. It was an old article. History has obviously shown otherwise. It'll be like saying Ike Ibeabuchi would dominate the HW division and be champ for a long time. It would've made sense to write that sort of article back in late 1999. But again history has shown otherwise.

    Whoever wrote that is obviously a racist who is prejudiced against white boxers. Look at who most of the others he chose as the worst champions are.

    He did include Briggs. :conf

    Then again, Briggs is bad enough to transcend racial biases and appear on ANYONE's worst HW champs list. :yep

    ...the author does kind of have a point about at least the **** with Corrie Sanders, to be honest. Vitali ain't no sweetie pie...although you could chalk that up to just fraternal over-protectiveness which some probably don't view as a bad quality.

    Whenever I hear about this incident, the fact that sanders gave vitali a little slap on the face is always ignored

    Horrible article, but it made me laugh about as much as the one that talked about Jimmy Young's greatness a few days ago.

    Don't hate guys, he clearly just mixed up Vitali and Wladimir. It's easily done.
