One thing that no one can take away from vitali...

He fights more times in a year than any other heavyweight champ in the last 15 years that I can remember. Man he fought 3 times this year! I can't even remember the last HW champ that did that.

 

He's slow and clumsy -- that's two things

 

...nothing to do with the post....

 

This year he fought 3 times......but you have to go all the way back to 1999 to find the last year he did it.

He's cramming in a few pay days before he's past his sell by date.

 

Correct. Peter, Gomez, Arreola, and Johnson. 29 rounds boxed, 28 rounds won! 3Ko's, and 120-108. 120-108, and 119-109 score card.

All four men were ring magazine ranked opponents. Impressive in any era. And he's 38 years old.

 

I'd forgotten about gomez. it is impressive.:good

 

im not a fan of his, but yes, i give him credit for that and i also give him credit for for being in shape year round.....some of the fat *******s out there should take note of that

 

One thing you can't take away from him.........

..............he beats everyone he faces..............

Never before in the history of the sport has a super big heavyweight been as skilled as Vitali Klitschko.

He is now 38 and still put on a full 12 round fight and won every round with a VERY high punch out put. Being that he's 6 foot 7-8, AND 38 years old..........that is impressive by anyone's standards.

And had Johnson not been so timid, Vitali would have KOed him.

 

Apart from Byrd and Lewis?

Lennox Lewis fought three world title bouts in 2000, and also in 1997.

 

Wladimir did that last year.
