    vitali lost to the best 2 fighters he ever faced.

    does that signify one of the greatest heavyweight boxers ever? i don't think so.

    Sad little fools...............as if being the youngest HW champion ever didn't play a part in where you'd rank a fighter all time. :rofl

    It's a good part of why Patterson is ranked so highly.

    Popular consensus based on his domination of opposition, being part of the only brothers to hold parts of the HW title at the same time, winning back the WBC after a four year layoff without a tuneup, high KO percentage, low amount of total rounds lost, etc.

    I should lighten up when 4 or 5 sad little posters are posting stupid ****? Especially longcount, go ahead and agree with his take that being the youngest HW Champion ever shouldn't count toward a fighter's all time ranking. I dare you.

    147 to 56 in favor of Vitali

    Good god man.

    The original post was in reply to Mendoza's point about Vitali being head to head #1. I said that:

    "Seems a bit of a reach to call him the head to head #1 when he was stopped by the only great fighter he ever matched."

    You said something like:

    "Stopped? You make it sound like he knocked out Vitali with one punch."

    To which I replied:

    "Ok, I will use the word beat. Seems a bit of a reach to call him the head to head #1 when he was beat by the only great fighter he ever matched."

    To which you replied with the above. So I didn't imply at any point that you had called Vitali the head to head number one, I was just correcting (unneccesarily) the word that you didn't like in the original post.

    People post **** because they enjoy winding you up, have you not worked that out yet? It's so obvious, when you post, that you're genuinely angry. People don't hate the Klitschkos, they just enjoy winding up people like you because it's so damn easy. You don't help yourself with some of your ridiculous comments.

    I wasn't even laughing at your expense, just the way he came out with that line.

    What you said was that the fact that he was the youngest champion in history alone would have him at or around the top 10. That's ****. Nobody is saying the accomplishment isn't noteworthy or a factor.

    My bad, sue me.

    So McGrain, do you rate fighters all time great status a bit higher if they've been the oldest, youngest, longest reigning, highest KO percentage, etc.?

    Fair question.

    Quite the contrary, Longcount is saying just that and he equates it with having the longest hair, ear lobes, etc.
    Go ahead & agree with him, I dare you. :D
