Does anybody else miss the Klitschko era ?

2 of this crop beat wlad. ‘oh but wlad was 39 against fury!!’ So, sanders was 38 against wlad and vits. Jeez these klit fans will be a plague on boxing for decades

 

You can say quit if you feel like you need to go there. Everyone knows he had a torn rotator cuff.

Take a little bit of your own advice..

 

what would you like me to be honest about?

also, yes, he quit.

 

Best left hook in the division? (Ha! Ha! Ha! LOL Snort.)

 

Due to an injury. It's clear you're just trying to label him as some quitter v. Byrd. Nothing genuine about you.

 

lots. Fighters have fought through shocking injuries. And with more than 2 rounds to go and up on the cards.

danny Williams injury was much worse, mid fight, refuses to be pulled and won by knockout

Audley Harrison , exact same injury as vitali, in round 3, refuses to quit and kos sprott last round

David Haye going out on his shield against bellew.

that’s just 3 British fighters off the top of my head.

 

did his corner pull him? No. Did the ref? No. Did the doc? No. Who stopped the fight. Vitali.

 

Sure. Some have. So? And that somehow translates to ALL should do it? There are different levels of injuries. Different types of rotator cuff tears. Your generalization is rather weak in this case. You desperately want to label Vitali a quitter. If you had any level of honesty, you would be quite aware of what you are doing.

 

I will be honest about anything you like. I don’t take the internet serious. I like to discuss rather than sob and cry about boxers who don’t know you exist

 

but....he ...quit? No ifs, no buts.

 

let’s compare say ring 2010 v ring 2020

2010 ring rankings


[url]Klitschko[/url], Champion - One of the best 15 champs every, What did he had 20 title defenses?

1. [url]Vitali Klitschko[/url] - First ballot hall of fame champion with more top tens than the entire field of 2020!
2. [url]David Haye[/url] - A big puncher
3. [url]Alexander Povetkin[/url] - In his prime, he beat contenders. At age 39, he was giving AJ a tough fight. Age 39!
4. [url]Tomasz Adamek[/url] - His resume of wins over Golota, Chambers, Arreola, and Cunningham,( the guy that floored Fury past his best )
5. [url]Ruslan Chagaev[/url] - Solid alphabet champion.
6. [url]Eddie Chambers[/url] - Skiled and quick. Smaller
7. [url]Denis Boytsov[/url] - Had to retire due to a health issue
8. [url]Nikolay Valuev[/url] - Had his share of big win
9. [url]Alexander Dimitrenko[/url]. - Should not have been ranked in hindsight
10. [url]Chris Arreol[/url]a. - A key man in the Wilder legacy!

2020 Champ. Fury - Might be iced with PED issues.

1. AJ - The best of a weak lot, a medium punching RUIZ BEAT HIM
2. Whyte - #2!!!! who did he beat to be rated this high? Shows how weak the field really is.
3. Wilder - A glass jawed fraud who making silly excuses. Who did he beat ranked in his prime, who? Zero people
4. Ortiz - Well over 40 year olds, why even list him?
5. Ruiz jr - A big mac shy of 300 pounds. Wasted potential
6. Povetkin - What is he 39 approaching 40? The fact that a guy who was in his prime in 2010 can be ranked now tells me something.
7. Parker - In his prime with one win over a top ten guy, he's okay
8. Hunter - A no power blown up cruiser that beat no body. How did he get this rank?
9. Rivas - Who has be beaten? Notice a theme?
10. Pulev - 39 year old. Lots of old men ranked = a weak division.


Wlad vs Fury. Prime Wlad wins. Fury beat Wlad at age 39, likely on PEDS's
Klitschko vs AJ. AJ had trouble with Wlad and 41 and Povektin at 39. Prime Vitlai takes him out.
Haye vs Whyte. 50/50
Povetkin vs Wilder. Povetkin takes out the wildly over rated and chinny Wilder, who really cannot box.
Adamek vs 40+ year old Ortiz. Adamek UD. Ortiz to slow and gassy
Chagaev vs Ruiz jr - At his current weight, Chagaev wins.
Chambers vs Povetkin, age 39. Well Chambers almost beat Povektin in his prime so Chambers wins
Boystov vs Parker. I'll go with Parker, more proven, much bigger.
Valuev vs Hunter. Hunter is very small and a non puncher, I think Valuev has enough to win on points
Dimitrenko vs Rivas. I'll go with Rivas, but it's really a guess ans he hasn't fought anyone aside form losing to Whyte.
Arreola vs 39 year old Pulev. 50/50

2010 = 6 wins
2020 = 2
Draws - 50/50 = 3

 

"On the advice of Dr. Ironfist, the referee has called a halt to this contest ..."

 

Lol some 40 year olds from Klitschko era are still in top 10
Hahaha
How is this era stronger?

 

Who have the 40 year olds from the Klitschko era beaten in this era?

There's always some 40-year-old hanging around in every era.

 

Sorry but this is just funny stuff reading all this. Like, why can’t any of you admit it??? You put out accusations when the fighters you defend have done worse!

vitali took steroids remember? Is vitali allowed them against AJ?

Arreola bearing pulev?

Valuev was absolutely shocking, seriously? Prime for prime I would say Ustinov was better.

Haye, I’m sure when Haye was fighting wlad you were laughing about how easy wlad was going to win. Because he was a cruiser. Like much of wlads undersized opponents.

I respect Adamek, not a fan of ortiz particularly, but cant see any Adamek win. Yes he scraped by C level Arreola, but the guy was a light heavy
