the klitschkos would dominate any era in heavyweight boxing apart from lennox lewis's

especially with Vitali, questions need to be asked. he'll go down as the third in his own era having never dominated.

to expect him to dominate in any other is a bit far fetched IMHO.

 

absolutely.

The funny thing is i actually think wlad is a h2h nightmare for pretty much every other heavyweight in history. I like wladimir klitschko! its when people go over the top and start making ridiculous claims i start ''hating'' on the guy

 

get lost vitali hater.

"muh muh only a wlad hater would match wlad against tyson, vitali is tougher" <--- bull**** considering wlad is the dominat champ, not older brother

"muh muh williams is as good as foreman and vitali battered williams" <--- bull****. full stop.

"muh muh I'll say anything to shine a spotlight on vitali's weakness such as resume"

"muh muh mummmmmy the internet boys are being mean to me again, can I have some of your special milk"

 

I agree, Wlad is a legend IMO, what he's done is great. very very few HW's have been the best in the world for 5 years running.

My problem is when people try to combine the two "well wlad is doing good so vitali is doing good"

IMO vitali is no more than a number 1 contender who doesn't want to take on the challenger. He has a valid excuse, yes, but it has to be remembered it was Wlad who cleaned up, not Vitali.

 

I know that Lewis and Vitali would dominate others eras. Because they are big, real born fighters, with skills. Everything you need.
Wlad? i dont think he would be so dominant. He was too much on the floor and has too much respect against punchers, even if they are from cruiser! Also Wlad cant counterpunch!
If Wlad would be a real born fighter, he would be the GOAT, but he isnt! That why Steward is desoponted by Wlad, because he doesnt show all his skills in the ring. He has simple to much fear to get hit and is inhibited!

 

good point.

while wlad is more proven imo i feel vitali has a higher ceiling due to his fierce nature.

However its all conjecture with vitali whereas with Wlad we know what the deal is. based on that i think its clear its 1. lennox 2. wlad 3. vitali

 

but Vitali hasn't even dominated his own, let alone any other.

Vitali's legacy is based on potential and speculation. We saw him give Lewis trouble, we saw him step out of Lewis's shadow against Johnson and Sanders and we expected him to rule. He didn't. He faced Williams, pulled out of a Rahman fight about 4 times and retired.

With Wlad we can base his legacy on actual events. He did establish dominance. He did unify.

Lewis (1999-2003)
Vitali (2004)
Byrd (2005)
Wlad (2006-Present)

See the difference? Wlad has actually proven his standings. He's justified his comparisons. Vitali hasn't.

 

You two need to just get a room.:asskiss

 

Vitali hasn't dominated ANY era so that is ludicrous.

This is just like the Vitali "H2H monster" myth. He lost to a shot real ATG and lost to the next best fighter he has faced. So there is absolutely no evidence other than blind fan-boyism to make statements like that.

Enough already with this Vitali "ATG/H2H monster/born fighter" garbage. H2H monsters do not lose vs a shot Lennox Lewis. Born fighters do not quit vs blown up super middleweight Chris Byrd.

 

That is really what it all boils down to in the end..

On the surface, when we see Vitali lambasting Kirk Johnson in two rounds and pummeling Sam Peter, he looks almost invincible, but that isn't the reality. We have seen him cut, injured, and even defeated. And it didn't take an all time great in the peak of his prime to acheive these things against him.

 

No Wlad cant dominate his era, because he doesnt fight the main Competition. Since 2008 he is no more "the man"!

 

Why?

Asside from his brother ( a match that will never be made ) he has beaten Ruslan Chagaev, David Haye, Sultan Ibragimov and Sam Peter. What other verification does he need?

 

Vitali wasnt prime too. Both was prepared only two weeks for the fight. Lewis won on cuts but was beaten on the scorecards. We will never know who is better, when they were prepared suitably. Because some little ***** retired

 

He must beat Vitali to be "the man" of the devision. Wlad is lucky, that Vitali is his brother! :yep

 

At 37 years of age, off for 12 months, and showing up at a career high weight, you think that Lewis was at an equal or greater advantage? Yet like it or not, he still won legitimately.. fights have been stopped for cuts that were far less severe, and there have been numerous fighters who disputed the decision of the referee, ringside doctor, or cornerman fot intervening... Your man lost.. . Deal with it.
