    Fritz Sdunek, Klitschko’s trainer, is one of Europe’s most acclaimed trainers. He’s trained eight Olympic medalists, including one gold medalist, and has coached 14 professional world champions.

    “He [Vitali] is definitely a top 10 heavyweight of all time, especially when you look at how long he has been champion,” Sdunek said. “He has never lost a fight in the ring, only by injury. Even though he is unorthodox, Vitali is a complete fighter. Very few boxers have had Vitali’s strength, size, determination, speed, power, defensive skills and the ability to take a punch.

    “He’s one of the most intelligent boxers I’ve ever seen. Vitali knows how to capitalize on his opponent’s weaknesses and he’s a great finisher when he gets his opponent hurt.”

    “It would be a difficult fight [against Ali],” Sdunek said. “Vitali would use his size, strength and punching power to win a hard-fought decision. Against Tyson, Vitali would use his jab and left hand to control the fight. When Tyson would come inside, Vitali would use uppercuts. Vitali would win by late-round KO, overpowering him with his size.

    “Against Foreman, Vitali would use his speed and jab to outbox him. Vitali would also win by late-round KO, having better stamina.”

    None of them would fight as unintelligent as Adamek did.

    Maybe he can beat Foreman but Ali is way too slick and fast. Vitali would've hugged Tyson ala Bonecrusher Smith and lost by UD.

    Only the slickest of slick such as George Chuvalo , Doug Jones and Henry Cooper could beat Ali . Vitali comes nowhere close to these.

    yeah, ali was so slick he took more punches in 8 rounds from foreman than other fighters take in 12 rounds. And foreman moves like a mummy.

    Ali was old then. Ali beats Vitali by UD. Vitali beats Tyson and Foreman though in my opinion.

    Tyson has fought better opposition than Klit but has lost nearly everytime he stepped up in class. Vit is top 10. BUt I am not certain he would beat Ali.

    Though it is possible that he could... it is a very tough call.
     
  13. Foreman and Ali would beat him. Tyson would beat killed but Foreman would be the won to score a late TKO over Vitali.

    Vitali would stop them all, they would be pretty much mismatches. He is was too fast for Foreman who was badly beaten up by Axel Schultz! Vlad stopped Schultz in the 8th round!!!!!!!

    :smoke The 70s are grossly overrated and the KLITS are grossly underrated by their distractors . But the ALI of 67 was truely a FE_NOM ! Its a shame that he was robbed of his prime . I believe if he had of kept fighting the FRAZIERS and FORMANS would have been regulated to TUA status . Certainly a special kind of talent and the best of it was robbed .:good
