    Samuel Peter fought Wlad twice & Vitali once. He rates higher than Rahman all time.................

    Just a few Fighters with better win resumes than Vitali Klitschko

    Leotis Martin
    Povetkin
    Max Schmelling
    Hasim Rahman
    Tommy Morrison
    Lou Nova
    Trevor Berbick
    Ray Mercer
    Riddick Bowe
    Tommy Burns
    Michael Spinks
    Gene Tunney
    Buster Douglas
    Max Baer
    Leon Spinks
    Marvin Hart
    Oliver Mccall
    Chris Byrd
    Ezzard Charles

    None of these guys are top 10 ATGs yet all have better victories than Vitali Klitschko. I could easily rattle off another 15 names if you want.

    You don't have to be a hater to think he doesnt have a good record, I think he is one of the best heavyweights of all time, but he hasn't beaten many good opponents, that's no reflection of the era, he just hasn't beaten the best of his era.

    Vitali is an excellent fighter and he has a weak resume These are not mutually exclusive.

    Rahman fought Wladi once, Lennox twice, and actually won an undisputed championship. Also kod Prime Sanders who gave the Klitschkos fits.

    Peter has never beaten an elite Heavyweight. Look it up. He even lost to 200 lb Chambers.

    wow, the Klitchkos really scarred you for life by retiring Lewis, and beating Haye, Hide and Williams.

    No. David Haye, Valuev, Ruiz, Povetkin, Michael Moorer, Brian Nielsen and Jimmy Thunder all have much worse Resumes to name but a few. Vitali does not have a sterling resume but he's well ahead of the crowd (the crowd of **** poor champions mandated by weak organisations).

    Moorer beat Holyfield.
    Ruiz beat Rahman and Holyfield.
    If we are just talking wins, those are easily better than any of Vitali's wins.

    (Ruiz also holds a few wins over other guys who were ranked around that time: Golota, Kirk Johnson, Oquendo. I think those are about on par with the best names Vitali fought If you factor in losses, then it gets more complicated. Vitali only lost to two genuine top level fighters. )

    Haye beast SNV, that's debatable if it's any better than Vitali's best win.

    Again. Vitali is definitely better than those guys, but he just has not fought very good competition.

    Rahman beat Lewis and became the lineal champion. Sam Peter only had WBC title with win over some shitty Euro fighter. Rahman so far,is better historically.

    It's pretty good. He's definitely a top 25 ATG at heavyweight IMO

    He's 0-2 vs world class fighters and has zero quality wins, yet according to his nuthuggers he's the GOAT.

    Wlad's resume is still better by a lot IMO Kinda hard to be a top ATG when someone in your own weight has a better resume than you.
