How do you rate Vitali Klitschko

HOFer - Middle IMO (if not for injury's who knows)

 

that's like saying "He's only lost by being Ko'd in the ring".

A loss is a loss. He has no major wins on his resume, and has not come close to cleaning out the division. If fact, you can't even say without an arguement he is the best fighter in the division for ANY given year.

That is not ATG status. Not even close.

I'm not sure he even makes the HOF.

I like him a lot, but barring the loss to Lennox Lewis, what has he achieved?

Beat Glass Jaw Hide to win the WBOgus title..... defended Lewis's vacated WBC against Danny Williams before retiring..... beat a can (Peter) to win it back after a layoff, then Gomez, a decent win, before smashing a fat, overrated Arreola and a dis-interested Johnson.

Great guy, good fighter. H2H a handful for anyone.... but an ATG can be an ATG on assumption alone. There has to be some substance to the argument.
