    Let the Debate Begin, because on most consensus lists, with most of the names that come to mind, I dont think he beats a soul on the top 10 heavyweight list of all-time....his competiton was lousy, but same can be said for a tyson....eventhough imo tyson had even a better era.....to me vitali has fought in the worst era of heavies.....I give him credit for being a champion and doing what it takes to win.....but historically thats all that will be said about Vitali Klitschko.....Wlad to me is laughable when you start talking about who he beats on the mythical top 10 heavies of all time......

    Your Thoughts? and Who/If Any names does Vitali beat on the 10 Heavywieght list of All-Time?

    I 'think' Frazier. I see Vitali as being a bigger,taller version of Bonavena.

    maybe but i think frazier if he can get through vitali's guard, will outpoint vitali becasue of the flurry of combos from frazier.

    Maybe.Maybe... I see maybe Vitali maybe,because of height and reach beating Frazier to the punch long enough to reach a decision.

    This certainly won't be an easy fight for Joe.

    He has a a shot against everyone in Heavyweight History,

    Can think of many Heavy's that unorthodox/ with ring toughness/Chin/ good power


    really is a tough act to figure out.

    I have alot of Respect for Vitali, far more than Wlad.

    Vitali is a genuine fighter.


    class act

    maybe dempsey or frazier....but i dont see him beating ali, i dont see him beating foreman, or tyson or lennox even louis...i think foreman-vitali would be the most entertaining, some real fireworks

    IMO guys like Dempsey, Marciano and Frazier (Crusierweights in today's game) might be too small to beat Vitali.

    thats the thing though is i think vitali would be off guard by some of these guys speed, and firepower, that i think vitali could get sparked out....becasue of his lack of good competion he has faced.

    i even think quarry gives vitali a run for his money....quarry would have been a force if he wasnt in the ali, frazier, foreman, patterson era.
