Ok, well this is obviously a very ignorant post. Bone Crusher Smith, Mitch Green among others made it the distance with Tyson, Douglas beat his ass. But Vitali would get mutilated??? Look there is definitely a good chance Tyson would destroy him, but there is also a chance Vitali would beat him.
That dudes post was so ridiculous I didn't even want to respond ________ mutilates Vitali _________ KO's vitali _________ destroys Vitali atsch
look u cant compare head to head either becoz the human race in general has got alot bigger therfore the heavyweights have got a lot bigger
Part of the problem for both the brothers in their ATG ranking is that they haven't fought the only other good HW at the time...eachother. Ali's era was littered with top HW's but if he'd have never fought Frazier his legendary status would be different. It's not their fault, but for the last 3/4 years, the only top HW fight worth taking is Wlad Vs Vitali, and it's not happened.
Hey! I haven't slung any mud at you in over 24 hours............... No really, I'm not hard to debate as long as you use examples & facts to back up your positions.
I wouldn't give a prime Tyson as much credit as some of these guys do. I was watching many of Tyson's greatest hits live, when they happened & I don't rate fighters like Peter McNeely or Steve Zouski, etc. that highly. Yeah Mike beat them down quickly but so what? What these Tyson fans are doing is comparing Vitali to guys that Tyson beat such as those two and that's ridiculous.
I challenge you to name 20 past Heavyweights that you're positive would beat either Klitschko. Please feel free to use examples of these 20 fighters beating, mutilating, or destroying similar style fighters. Thanks in advance................
In fairness, that quote came from one of Britain's much maligned tabloids - The Sun - after they took a seemingly benign Schaefer quote and sensationalised it beyond it's original context. Schaefer was originally on about Haye's ability to sell a fight using his charismatic personality ala Ali. I do, however, accept that any comparison with Ali is hugely irrational and over-the-top, though.
I'm not holding my breath either :yep After they list Ali, Louis, Lewis, Forman, Holmes, Marciano, Liston, etc. they realize that they're left with Patterson, Schmeling, etc. In other words they have to admit they're wrong.:thumbsup
By the same token, why don't you come up with a list of great fighters the Klitschkos have beaten? VITLAY fought one, and brutally lost. WALDO hasn't fought any to my knowledge :huh
