Is Vitali the greatest heavyweight ever?

i bet you couldn't name 30 HW ahead of him without looking like a complete ******.

 

Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, and Ali were ALL in weak-ass divisions. VK is no different, except that he has NEVER hit the canvas.

 

Tyson and Lewis maybe, Ali you gotta be shitting me!

and there are nowhere near as many threads stating that Tyson or Lewis is the GOAT as there are for Klit.

 

The most misinformed bull**** i have ever read.

Ali struggled with Henry Cooper as a young man and yet beat him and subsequently grew as a fighter.

This isn't track and field you dummy. This is a combat sport and there are MANY more variables and intangibles one has to take into account. The talent pool isn't as deep, the expertise as it pertains to developing subtle nuances in ones skillset isn't as easy to come across, and the sport isn't as well structured as it use to be and thus guys are fighting on a regular basis against the level of competition required to maximise development.

This isn't football, track and field, it's boxing and what constitutes efficacy in the ring goes FAR beyond athleticism.

 

Well that's obviously because Klit IS the GOAT. Trust me dude, most people in the boxing forum do their homework. Who from Ali's era was even mid-tier?

 

No he is not even the best of this era.

 

Let me turn that around, who has Klit beaten that was even mid-tier?

 

Ever? Ever? Are you off your head?

 

Kirk Johnson

 

It's known as British forum ******ation, where over half the ******s picked Haye to beat Wladimir.

 

Not for me. Top 10 without doubt though

 

no, but he is in the top 30 heavies of all time though... don't see how he is even close to top 10 or even would fathom him being the greatest ever... i just laugh at that.

 

Vitali is Top15

 

Vitali's jab alone could give most great heavyweights fits all night.
