    Vitali Klitschko is better than anybody in this era, and I would also favour Vitali to beat practically anyone. He is simply the best.

    Lets see how Usyk handles AJ. If he loses, then I say Vitali KO.

    Thats a triangle theory your presenting. Its like saying in 1974 that Foreman is going is going to wreck Ali because of the Frazier fight. Triangle theories don't work.
    So what if Usyk beats Joshua? Vitali is not Joshua.. He's slower , less skilled and has no inside game. He can't deal with angles either and thats bad when going up against against somebody like Usyk who is a master at punching from awkward angles.

    Furthermore , Vitali and AJ shared a common opponent known for being awkward.. Joshua ran through him with ease.. He made Vitali look like a clumsy baffoon. See for yourself down bellow.. btw , i know nobody watches these videos because it shatters the illusion of this man they have created in their heads.

    He was the best at beating hand picked d-listers who plodded forward in straight lines. . Name one alethic A lister who feet like Usyk that Vitali beat?

    Anybody who quits and dodges a rematch against Chris Byrd is not beating Usyk.

    :lol:

    Vitali beats the brakes off an unbeaten Kevin Johnson:

    Dino "Vitali really struggled"

    AJ KOs a shopworn Johnson 6 years later who had 5 losses in his last 6 fights:

    Dino "OMG incredible! Superlative! An ATG performance, for sure"

    As to who would win between Usyk and Vitali, I pick Vitali.

    Klitschko's busy, awkward style would not especially suit Usyk who likes to move and counter his opponents. I'd take Vits on points.

    So first Dino points out problems with the triangle theory (he could have just said that styles make fights) citing Foreman, Frazier and Ali.

    Then, he holds out a variation of that same theory (the common opponent) in yet another effort to **** on one of his two favourite targets, a Klitschko, and falls flat on his face as he spews his nonsense.

    Citing Kevin Johnson as a common opponent, he states...
    The facts: Vitali scored a shut-out, winning all twelve rounds against a hungry, undefeated 30-yr old Johnson who was in his prime.

    Joshua faced a washed up 36-year old shadow of his earlier self, coming off three straight losses. His legs were gone, as was his ambition. By then, he was reduced to a well-over-the-hill gatekeeper.

    But that doesn't stop the Dino from holding this ghost of Johnson as a legitimate comparison common opponent on which to judge the relative merits of AJ and Vitali.

    Did I mention that Vitali won every round ?


    Don't you ever tire of your embarrassing, cringe-worthy, broken-record, feud with the Klitschkos ?

    Don't you realize how much this patent nonsense detracts from your credibility when you post on non-Klitschko topics ?

    Is Vitali your daddy or something? Don't get snarky with me behind your keyboard you bitter old man. Treat me as you would irl , otherwise you are nothing but a keyboard coward. .

    Johnson had legs against Vitali did he? Show me one round when he used his legs? Just like i stated above , you are afraid to watch the footage because Johnson lay on the ropes for all 12 rounds of that fight. And Vitali could barely lay a glove on him.
    Look at the punch stats - he missed 800 punches.. You can look bad in victory, happens all the time. Vitali looked bad , clumsy and sloppy.

    After Joshua , Johnson would take a bunch of top guys the distance - Ruiz Jr , Hrgovic , Doubois , Pulev , Tyson Fury. . None of them could do to Johnson what a green novice Joshua did. He still had plenty left to take those guys the distance after being blown away by Joshua , so that means he would have taken Vitali the distance as well.

    Vitali in that fight couldn't even hurt Johnson once. Thats a fact and you hate it. Well too bad. Deal with it..

    Having such a struggle to land a clean blow on an injured bum who lay on the ropes tells me he would have a hope of landing a clean blow on somebody as talented as Usyk. . Logic and facts , that what motivates me.. Nothing else.
    And spare me the Charlie Bronson act if you're going to respond.. Its embarrassing for you as a man thats 70 years old.

    I have neither the time nor the inclination to further e-smack you around, Dino.
    You have become a caricature of sorts on here, a trope.

    And an object of some ridicule, not to mention a fair amount of snickering.



    I'll merely point out two factually incorrect sentences you included while wanking all over your keyboard:

    and



    The point that the two versions of Johnson are not remotely close to similar has been made.

    Incontrovertibly.

    If Vitally is as bad as you say, then presumably Usky beating Joshua, or even giving him a good fight, would be bad news for him?
    Surely to god you can see that they did not fight the same version of Kevin Johnson?
