    Do you mean to suggest that Arreola is as good as "any HW of any era"? Tbh I expected a more dominant display than we saw, Arreola actually did ok, he was lading hard punches on Vit and I had expectd him to be gone in 6 or 7 rounds. I was disapponted that vitali was back peddling-and I don't think it was necessary, I would have advised him to make it a more physical fight. Don't get me wrong, I scored every round for Vit but I wasn't sure at the end whether to be pleasantly surprised by Arreola or disappointed in Klitschko. I wouldn't favour him over every mn on the list, I think the fighter he matches up the worst with is Holyfield-rather the Don Turner trained version, I think he was smarter or perhaps just better experienced than the "prime" version. Lewis beats him, Tyson beats him-the version of Tyson with the head movement and the combination punching is the best guy on the list imo, people don't give him enough credit for his boxing ability, he was fast as ****, a ko puncher, brought tons of pressure and most importantly he was very hard to hit. I think if Bowe made it a physical fight he'd beat him too, Bowe was a fat ******* when he fought Golota x2 which is the kind of form people tend to judge him on, that Bowe would get battered, I think a Holyfield 1 Bowe gets the better of a dog fight, as Lewis did. That's three of the best fighters of the last 40 years though, I wouldn't pick any of the rest of the list to beat him and I think only McCall would have any chance of going the distance.

    I agree that the 37 to 38 year old Vitali Klit is indeed a handful of problems for anyone who has ever had claim to the world title from 1887 thru 2009............. V.K. may NOT be the greatest of all-times like Ali proclaims to be, but V.K. can hold his own in any era with the aide of a time machine.... Yes, I'll buy into that notion..... Why the hell not??
