    How much does Vitali Klitschko have left?!


    He was masterful vs Adamek, but sloppy vs Charr. Perhaps he did not respect Charr as much. Vitali is 42 now. He perhaps the most formidable heavyweight over 40 year of age ever.


    But he has also been out of the ring a while, and is focusing on Politics,
    and recovering from an injury. Vitlai says Politics take 85 percent of his time. Vitali said he would know when to retire when he starts getting beat in the gym.

    he was masterful against averagemek because adamek is not a good heavyweight. Vitali really needs to step up for once and fight a legitimate top 5 heavyweight like David Haye or Alexander Povetkin or even Tyson Fury

    Adamek earned a top rating and was 3 at ring magazine when that fight happened. Since then age and tough fights have caught up to him

    Yes, but these are FACTS. What he said was a misguided opinion, which clearly holds more weight.

    Why isn't Vladimir ranked by the WBC?
     
  7. Put him in with a decent heavy and you would of found out a few years back he was done, fact is there are no decent heavies to expose that fact.

    stop trolling geek

    w klitschko,v klitschko, povetkin, pulev, haye, fury, adamek, wach, addusalmov, glazkov, wilder and many more , heavyweight is a good division
     
  10. Vitali is a great fighter
    he was injured in the chisora fight after a few rounds, watch the first few rounds when he was injury free it was a complete mismatch
    and charr fight was bad decision by the ref to stop it just as Vitali was warming up,
    a bit of bad luck in his last 2 fights and people are saying hes past it its nonsense

    it wouldnt surprise me in the least if he comes and gives a similar great performance to that night against adamek, Vitali will retire when he wants to no one will do to vitali what he did to Lewis (forced him into retirement), Vitali has one of the best chins ever no one is knocking him out

    He's been on notable slide since Arreola. His power is not there.

    Why isn't Vitali ranked by the WBO, WBA and IBF?

    It's the rules, read them...

    How is it misguided?

    Was Adamek ranked in the top 5 by Ring Magazine at the time? Yes. However was he even close to a top 5 heavyweight in a head to head sense? Definitely not. In my opinion, I think there are easily 10 heavyweights in the world today who would definitely beat Adamek. Adamek performed so poorly in the vitali fight, that vitali admitted carrying adamek after the first round, so he wouldn't embarrass him in front of his fans.


    Adamek at heavyweight is slow of hands/feet, no power, below average punch resistance, limited athletic ability, lacks physical tools.
