    I have to say that any one of these wins isn't all that impressive, but combined they are pretty good.

    Corrie Sanders...Top3 heavyweight (in 2004) who beat Wlad.

    Tomasz Adamek...Great cruiserweight fighter who climbed the heavyweight rankings.

    Lewtards will disagree, but Sanders gave VK his hardest career fight.

    It's tough to say exactly what Vitali's best win is. Unlike his brother Wladimir, he got his big chance against an ATG (albeit on admittedly short notice) and whilst he put up a very good fight (a career best performance imo), he came up short. Let's not ruin a good thread by arguing about TKO 6, event wins and all that **** though, he lost, plain and simple.

    He has ALOT of good wins on his record. The likes of Adamek, Solis, Sanders, Peter, Arreola etc are all good fighters but not that good. He lacks even a very good win imo, although you certainly can't accuse either brother of ducking anyone imo.

    I'm no fan of the Klitschko's at all (was always a big Haye fan and Wladimir ruined my night last July, the **** :lol: ) but they have fought the best available, nobody can question that.

    Let's analyse the credentials of Vitali's best wins:

    Tomasz Adamek (44-1), a two weight world champion who had impressive wins at Heavyweight over Arreola, Grant and Estrada. He didn't look as good at Heavy as he had at Cruiser and he definitely lost his power in moving up. He looked vulnerable late against Grant (i think it was Grant?) and it was clear he wasn't a natural Heavyweight. I think his fight against Eddie Chambers will tell us just how good this win is, and i believe Chambers will outbox Adamek en route to a points decision. The completely dominant way in which Vitali took apart Adamek means this is still a good win though, arguably his best.

    Sam Peter (30-1) was a bit past his prime when he fought Vitali imo. He was being hyped up before the first Wladimir fight and he seemed to lose a bit of spark after that defeat. He wasn't great to begin with and his power was over-rated, but he was a very good win for Wlad. He'd dominated and stopped world champion Oleg Maskaev in his previous fight and Vitali was coming off a long lay-off (about 4 years i think) so this was impressive. It sounds silly now, but i wasn't sure at the time if Vitali would win before the fight and was surprised at how easily he dealt with Peter. He gets extra points for having a ****ing awesome entrance to this fight aswell!

    Corrie Sanders (39-2) was a decent win aswell. In his previous fight, Corrie had destroyed Wladimir but he was in the same shape for this one. He was alot heavier, visibly a bit out of shape and was into his golf big time. I seem to recall he had a long lay-off before this aswell and this was definitely Vitali's most exciting fight (Lewis aside) imo. Corrie showed he was still in good shape (despite not looking it) by having a bit of a war and even hurting Vitali in the fight. He took a tremendous beating from a rabid Vitali who was trying to avenge his brother.

    Chris Arreola (27-0), like Peter against Wlad, was built as the saviour of the division just like David Haye. He was a big, American puncher who came to fight and is pretty charismatic. HBO invested time and cash in this man and he came in out of shape. All his promises about how when the time came for the big one, he'd have a proper training camp, get his diet sorted and get rid of his gut, and he came in over 250lbs when he should be 230. Disappointing doesn't cover it. That said, his fitness couldn't be called into question because he absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment and kept going right to the end. He was coming in off consecutive stoppages against McCline, Walker and that other American prospect (fella that fought Mitchell the other week, name escapes me...) and looked pretty good. He was the main threat to the Klit's in the eyes of most and Vitali arguably won every round and stopped him.

    It's difficult to say exactly what is his best win imo. I think the above 4 are probably his best 4 wins but they're all so evenly matched that it doesn't really matter. You could make a case for 3, 4, 5 or 6 different opponents. If he got to Haye before Wladimir did then i'd say him but some gloss has been taken off a potential win over Haye now, regardless of how he performs against Chisora.

    Peter was a favorite coming into their fight. Watching Vitaly totally destroy him after a 4 year lay off was remarkable.

    Good post :good
     
  13. There is no 'LEWTARDS' lmfao

    Did you invent that term or some ****.

    Lewis would have given VK his toughest fight if the ******
    doctors haven't stop the fight.
    VK was holding on for dear life in the 5th round and had Lennox's dik close to his mouth the entire round.
    But Vk's corner probably had doctor on payroll, so the doctor stopped the fight.

    Most ****** fans don't even follow Lennox's career,
    Lennox was in much bigger trouble against Prime Briggs,
    he was flying across the ring and looked tired as hell.
    But later on in the fight 'just like fine wine' he got better and beat the **** out of Briggs.
    (fine wine relates to how he always win the later rounds, not how he gets better with age, lewis was ****ing around when he said that

    nobody gets better at age 37 ..

    Lennox was a walking fat boy by then, eating his way into retirement, swallowing whole lobsters and beef steaks. I was amazed he even managed to stay under 270 for the VItali fight. It was the first time I seen him so fat, he was breathing hard and almost passed out from the ring walk alone.
     
  14. LENNOX LEWIS WORN ROBES

    INTO THE FIGHT AGAINST VITALI.


    He always walk out robeless and show off his muscles against

    every other opponent.

    HE WORN ROBES INTO THAT FIGHT

    BECAUSE LEWIS WAS ASHAMED OF HIS FAT BODY. He didn't want the ladies to see his juggling titties and fatness. IF YOU WATCH THE POST FIGHT INTERVIEW

    Lewis had a massive beer belly, he was so fat and out of shape.

    He was a 6'5 Sam Peters.

    :( I ASHAMED of Lennox shape that night :(
