Rating Klitchsko as an ATG

Klitschko has had a terrific career you tool. He is 6' 7" and has made adjustments based on his size and skill set.

What's next, you gonna rip Ali because he used to lean his head back from punches? ... Take your head out of Princesses ass and try to use that pea sized brain.

 

Then Schmeling wouldn't want to be champion. And Frazier wouldn't want to try becoming a champion, again.

 

SuzieQ is full of double standards. I'm not sure if he is aware of them sometimes. Vitali fights tall, moves his feet, has good punch anticipation, and yes, can lean back to avoid punches very well.

Ali was similar, but in truth, he got hit even more.

 

Speak for yourself.

I think it's clear by now to posters of ESB that you have an agenda everytime you post.

Yes

not anymore

So do a lot of other fighters. Vitali is uncoordinated, has sloppy technique, and does not know how to punch with leverage(like his brother).

It may work against gooftroopers, but against real good fighters they will expose this flaw. Lennox did so, and he wasn't anywhere near his best.

Don't ever compare Vitali Klitschko to Muhammad Ali. It is a huge insult to Ali's legacy. Ali of the 60s would have embarrased Vitali and made him his *****.



Mendoza weren't you banned?

 

If Wlad beats Povetkin and Haye, he will move into my top 15 all time. Right now he is top 20. He is getting very near the point where we can call him a "Great" fighter. Wlad is the balls. May be The best technically skilled big man of all time. Devestating two fisted Assasin. ATG left jab. He is a lot tougher than you think. Got up from every knockdown ever suffered.

I love Wlad!!! GO WLADDD!!!

 

I have nothing to learn, evident by you projecting so foolishly about something I doubt even you truly believe.

Vaugn Bean was a terrible, boring spoiler of a fighter. One of the worst fighters to ever challenge for any sort of title, if you want to be truthful. A quick scan over his record shows his record as padded as the likes of Tye Fields and Don Steele.

Larry Donald was a B-Level fighter at best, and 35 against Vitali.

Sam Peter.

Boxrec and these fighters whom you peg as being "hard to stop" and seemingly material to make a fighter a ATG is a google search away. Educate yourself without the rose tinted glasses.

 

Also, stopped Ross Purrity?

Vitali stopped Purrity on his feet due to a horrendous cut.

The irony here is absolutely delicious. Stopping a very durable fighter on his feet after dozens of monster shots is a great win against a hard to stop opponent.

It's TOTALLY valid however.

I don't even have to elaborate on the hypocrisy of praising such a win with Vitali's fans insistent whining over the Lennox match-up.

 

Post of the Year! :good

 

Good Points

 

I dont rate the Klits as high as some do on PFP list but id say i agree with this^^^ they usually dont look pretty but they use their size very effectively.

 

That is the same stipulation the Bros ,under the auspices of their promotion company K2 put on Haye , to get a fight, he had to sign to fight the other brother ,if he won ,and then give a rematch to the first one, if he was successful there.

 

Maybe you can tell us when and how often in heavyweight history the title was not manipulated by and in favor of the party in power, be it by a fighter or his manager. This way if we single out the Klitschkos we will know they are guilty of unusual behavior ...

 

Did you watch the full fight? Purrity was on shaky ground and might have been stopped had it gone on further. I get the hunch you are formulating an opinion based on what you read at Box Rec.

Purrity has been in the ring with a a laundry list of punchers. Among them are Wlad Klitshcko, Corrie Sanders, Tommy Morrison, Mike Grant, Kirk Johnson, Joe Hipp, Hasim Rahman, and Jorge Gonzalez. None of them could stop Purrity. Vitali did.

As I said before, Vitali has stopped some hard to finish opponents. examples are Purrity, Donald, Bean, and Peter. These type of opponents guys dull KO percentages. In addition Vitali has faced the least amount of opponents under .500 when he fought them in the history Ring Magazine champions. So it is not like he was rolling tomato cans. Go ahead and check, you will see what I am saying is ture.

 

The Klit Bros suck ****. Neither one of them faced ATG Sugar Nikolai Valuev. They know if they got in the ring with SNV they would get their ass pummeled to the ****en ground.

 

Name me one "Very Good" fighter Vitali Klitschko ever beat?
