Who is greater, Vitaly Klitschko or Floyd Maywether?

....

 

...

 

Floyd can get that title if he decides to cease defending it. Exactly the way Vitali got it.

Floyd snapped his wrist in half against Hernández and fought on another 6 rounds in agonizing pain. Viatali quit on his stool because he hadn't the versatility or skills to even carry on another 4 rounds.

 

why in hells name are these two guys compared?

 

So you're saying this was just a reaction to another thread you saw? :rofl

A Floyd to Duran comparison makes for an interesting discussion, the answer isn't as obvious as comparing Floyd to Vitali.

I agree it's ridiculous, everybody knows Floyd has had a far better boxing career than Vitali.

The OP hates certain boxers. He made that silly poll because he knew Vitali would lose.

 

If we look at this logically, Vitali klitscko is better than floyd by the virtue of the fact that he would kill floyd. that being said, he also beat people who would destroy floyd.

on that premise, it would be logical to assume that vitali klitscko is superior to floyd.

now some people will bring up pound for pound thats assuming that if floyd was a heavyweight he can move the same as he does right now. this is not true. imagine how fast 140 pound vitali would be. its all conceptual.

but what we know for fact is that vitali would beat floyd really badly.

 

Going by resume, Floyd is clearly better.

 

So does Vitali rank over Duran because he beats him on size??

 

Floyd rematched and dominated the guy that many thought beat him in their first fight.

 

that is clearly conceptual and cannot be proven. The sport has determined that vitali is better by the fact that it recognizes a need for weight classes. everyone knows that vitali would murder floyd and everyone else on floyd's resume and all his future opponents. that is a fact that you cannot contend with and your point about floyd's resume is irrelevant.

 

Vitali is better because he's in a higher weight class than Floyd? What?

Floyd is better because he's fought in divisions with more talent. The 140-147 divisions are loaded with talented fighters, and Floyd has beaten several of them.

 

you just assume they are more talented because they look fast to you and you automatically assume they would be just as fast if they were heavyweight and are thus better p4p . your entire premise is purely conceptual while im dealing with facts.

you are comparing 2 great fighters and one would completely destroy the other and everyone else he has fought and will fight.

its like saying short players in basket ball should be judged differently than the tall ones. and have a height division and then start comparing players in different height divisions. then say how the 4 footers are more competitive.
