Vitali Klitschko vs “The Golden era”? Contenders?

Nobody cared about what Byrd and Ruiz were doing. They rarely even got network slots by that time, often fighting on low budget DKP pay per views that nobody bought.

Lewis was the man and Vitali was an exciting and worthy heir when Lewis retired. Vitali scorched through Johnson, Williams and Sanders but unfortunately got injured and had the Lewis rematch and Tyson fight fall through before that.

The Wlad/Sanders belt was the second best thing going, and the DKP titles were a distant third and fourth.

 

But do you agree beating Byrd in a rematch would've been on paper Vitali’s best win of his career ?

 

No. Sanders was far more dangerous.

 

More dangerous in a H2H sense is debatable considering Sanders had been inactive was out of shape and at the end of his career.

Byrd would be ranked higher than Sanders in the all time Heavyweight rankings and on name value would be the better win overall.

 

Did you see the fight? I only got confused during the rounds, but until the third round, where Sanders went for the knockout without any care, it was all his dominance.
He was clearly unlucky in this fight.

 

38 year old inactive out of shape Sanders in the twilight of his career ? I don't agree.

Maybe in the early rounds but Sanders certainly wasn't conditioned to go into 2nd half of the fight and be competitive where as Byrd would be.

 

Yes I've seen the fight it was a back and forth slugfest Sanders certainly didn't dominate the fight he was down twice ? How can he be unlucky if Sanders had already been floored twice prior to the stoppage ?

What you're saying makes no sense there was no luck involved what so ever.

 

Povetkin had more prime in him against Joshua.

Vitlai beating Sanders is like Cooney vs Ken Norton , or Lucas Brown vs Ruslan Chagaev

 

What happened when Fabio Wardley fought Huni... Luck?

 

I was at that fight. Sanders was more game than Byrd ever could’ve been on that night.

 

There was a poster on BoxRec who literally made up fake citations .

 

Well considering Byrd actually beat Vitali with a weeks notice i don't agree.

 

Don’t care.

 

Cool we're done with this convo good day to you.

 

It seems that you don't understand that im talking until the third round, after this round the fight completely changed.
