    5. He quit against Chris Byrd with 3 rounds left. I suppose it would be different if Byrd had power and was winning, but its not.

    4. He lost against the two best fighters he ever faced. He disgraced himself by quitting to Byrd but earned some respect back in a tko loss to and old, past it Lennox Lewis.

    3. In spite of great ko percentage he was never a great puncher.

    2. Always played second fiddle in the division whether to Lewis or his own brother.

    1. His resume absolutely stinks. One of the worst ever for any fighter who's fan think they should be considered as ATG's.

    No one has ever suggested for him to be a top 20 atg. He doesn't even make top 70 in my books

    Are we talking top 20 ATG Heavyweights??? Or all fighters?.... Maybe top 20 Heavyweights but not all fighters.. He might barely make my top 70 ATG fighters... maybe... but his brother makes my ATG 50 jus tbecause he pretty much cleaned out the division

    1. he came back after 4 year layoff to defeat the WBC champion in the first fight to reclaim his belt. That's unprecedented and probably the best come back in HW history. He also defeated a lot of top 10 fighters in advanced age.
    2. He was pretty green in Lewis`era and most of the fighters would play second fiddle to Wladimir.
    3. I would like to see you last at least 5 second with him in a ring.
    4. He was green and was lost only by injury.

    The guy almost never even lost a round to anybody and defeated a lot of ring rated fighters.

    Just heavyweights. Outside of Louis and Ali no heavyweight deserves mention amongst the top 20 p4p, maybe not even them.

    People get too emotional.

    Wladmir's resume is better.

    You kept it short. I appreciate that. I'm going to expand on this so people have a better idea.

    Chris Byrd
    Chris Byrd quit job was a absolute disgrace. It was a pathetic display of cowardice and lack of heart. For those that watched the fight, Byrd was actually starting to dominate starting from Round 5+. Vitali was looking more and more foolish as the former MIDDLEWEIGHT start to routinely slip his punches and embarrass the **** out of him. It was so sad.

    When Vitali finally gave in to the pressure, HIS HOME CROWD BOOED HIM. They were chanting BYRD BYRD BYRD BYRD. His home crowd BOOED HIM and LAUGHED at him. They ROARED for Byrd and his ugly blonde wife.
    When Larry Merchant attempted to ask Vitaly why he got such a glass heart Vitali pretended he doesn't speak English (Despite speaking good English just a few days back in an interview)



    Lewis-Redemption
    He didn't redeem **** against Lewis. Lennox Lewis was seen at multiple restaurants the week before the fight, eating himself into retirement. He was never focused, never even had a training camp (the 10 days was a lie, by that they meant zero days)
    and didn't know who Vitali was. He actually did not know who Vitali was and thought he was just another Golota. Lewis in the worst shape of his life and the oldest/slowest version still managed to turn the fight around starting from Round 4. He was finding Vitali with his jab and in the 6th hit Vitali with a murderous upper cut which enabled flashbacks of Pele Reid to explode in Vitali's glass brain. Vitali clinged on like a wet Ukrainian ***** for the rest of the fight until the doctors saved his life.
    If the fight had gone on, it would have been a brutal Ko from Lewis by the 7th round. Prime Lewis will utterly destroy and dismantle any version of Vitali into a million little pieces. Vitali was on his way to quitting again in that fight, doctors just saved him another melt down.



    Ducking his own brother.
    Vitali want his own brother to quit boxing after the Brewster knockout. He insisted on it. I keep him a semi pass for not fighting his own brother. But he got a disgraceful quitting mentality that he even attempted to infect Wlad with.



    Steroids
    He admitted to using steroids and he probably used it up until around the Chisora fight. German testing is worst than Texas. Vitali is corrupt, he will do anything to get ahead. Hence the Ukrainian politicans.



    Resume.
    His resume is beyond utterly ****ing ****. Vitali fans like to revise history and act like Chris Arreloa and Danny Williams were worth anything. They are not.
    Arreoloa is one of Vitali's best wins and he is a fat piece of lard who is a C- Fighter at best. :lol:
    He got no resume. None.

    Overall I find it hard to even consider Vitali a hall of Famer much less an ATG.

    Gee, that's tough titty for you -- Vitali won't miss you at the HOF induction ceremony, I'm sure.

    He's banned from Boxing*Scene where he used to be a moderator because he's obsessed with the Klitschkos and does this stuff all the time.
