Clearing up the Klitschko illusion

Lol....

 

Vitali probably has the better resume...

 

Hw division almost always has the same complaints. The problem is that HW's are slow, unathletic and unskilled in general. So of course guys like the Klitchko's, Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, etc just boxed circles around their competition. Don't hate the player's, hate the game.

By the way, both Klitchko's have been very active, especially for HW's. We wait much longer to see guys like May and Pac to fight.

 

Vitali should be animal, who was the stronger of the two, and Wladdy should be Hawk, who was the more athletic.

fail:nut

 

Vitali hasn't been KO'ed three times by journey men, now has he?

An argument can be made that Vitali has the better resume.

Exactly WHO has Wlad ever beaten?

 

No he hasn't.



Check boxrec if you don't know who he's beat.

 

Vitali doesn't have the better resume.

Wlad has beat Byrd (x2), Chagaev, Haye, Ibragimov.

Vitali's resume is impressive because he won a lot of fights after his comeback, post-injuries, "old": Arreola, Peter, Solis, Chisora. Also Sanders, Hide, etc. But I think Wlad's resume is far superior.

 

Having way more fun since I take ESB as a comedy site.

**** serious boxing site!

Why so serious!!!

 

Why is it that you Klit lickers ignore the Purrity, Sanders, and Brewster fights? Those fights figure into the equation too.

Vitali doesn't have THREE KO losses to journeymen on his resume like Wlado does. Plus, the Purrity and Sanders losses were never avenged and Brewster was WAY past it in the rematch so I consider that loss un-avenged too.

Hence, an argument can be made that Vitali has the better resume.

 

And another thing, you should just drop Byrd and Haye from that list. Seriously. Neither of those guys are HWs.

Byrd got BLASTED out in 6 rounds by Ike Ibeabuchi years before the Wlad fight.

The performance that Haye put on was SHAMEFUL to say the least. Wlad's W over that guy is essentially meaningless. Especially when you consider that neither guy looked to be interested in fighting.

So what are you left with? Chagaev and Ibragimov?

Lol.

 

Exactly WHO has Wlad ever beaten?

 

1) There actually is some overlap between who the brothers have faced (Peter, Sanders, Purrity, Byrd). A big reason there aren't more is probably that Vitali was retired for 4 years of Wlads' dominant period.

2) Public interest is a big factor in fights getting made: not many people would be interested in watching Vitali fight Chambers after Wladimir has just beaten him - or Wlad vs. Adamek after Vitali beat him. Also, a lot of the guys you name dropped out of the top 10 after getting beaten by one of the brothers. Those who manage to remain relevant might get a fight with the other brother later (as Arreola and Haye might both soon get)

3) Do you seriously believe either brother has "ducked" all the guys the other has beaten? Is every fighter you haven't fought neccessarily a "duck"? I don't believe so. In fact, I rather believe that it's (e.g.) Arreola who hasn't been interested in fighting Wladimir for the past year than vice versa.

Now I don't believe that brothers to be ATG's, but I do believe they are good fighters who deserve credit. The fanboys on here can be annoying, but haters like you are worse.
