    Yes you have,
    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.

    This is all opinion not fact.

    Anyone want to write there top25-50 and see where you put him? (Both for and against) Personally I have him outside 30. Wlad on the other hand top 20.

    Vitali's resume is terrible. He ducked all the best contenders, like Haye, Holyfield, Chambers, Chagaev, Tua, and the list goes on and on.

    :lol: Don Vito would beat the absolute **** out of 80% of that list like they stole something from him.

    Bowe, Liston, Spinks, Moore, Fitzsimmons, Johnson, Dempsey, Charles, Tunney ahead of Vitali?
    :lol:..**** out of here!

    Sonny Liston and Jack Dempsey would mess Vitali up, quite simply. Tunney and Charles would have a good chance to box his ears off.

    I agree with the TS on the matter that Vitali Klitschko is extremely over-rated.

    Yes he quit...not debatable....could his career have been stopped premature had he continued? I'm no doctor, but I'll side with those who have spoke on the situation/injury and say it quite possibly could have ended his career. Culturally, Americans can't fathom 'retiring' from a fight...."go out on your shield!" but as a fan, I'm glad he did.

    Heavyweight champions are not so blind as to be clueless about other fighters in the rankings that are stalking them.. Vitali Klitschko was the former WBO champ and probably one of the top 5 rated heavys in the world. I'm pretty sure Lewis knew who he was.

    How am I ducking the question? I never argued about it. I just wanted to show you that you don't use all facts.
