Vitali Klitschko > Usyk > Wlad Klitschko

He could have fought good fights if he hadn't been so stringent on taking such a high split of a purse when he had that position
People were laughing at the offers made

 

You misunderstood

His team were trying to make fighters with people like Parker who understandably said no because Hrgovic as mandatory was entitled to I believe 80 or 70 per cent of the purse

Nobody was going to accept that deal, well nobody worthwhile

Instead of budging he sat on his arse and fought De Mori Types inbetween

You use Nganou as an example but that's poor
As he had name value where as Hrgovic still to this day doesn't

Nganou didn't deserve it from a sporting point of view, but the name value alone gave him that leverage
Plus by this time Saudi involvement was peak and money was being thrown around

It wasn't at the time Hrgovic initally held the mandatory post

I blame the Saulands for alot of Hgovics issues as I can imagine he was advised to not budge on purse splits by a team that had very little in terms of pay days coming through at that point

Regardless he could have been more accommodating and offered a different percentage if he really wanted to kick onwards

He didn’t

 

Stop acting like a spolit brat



At what point do I say it's right?

And unfortunately for not just Hrgovic but most professional boxers, the fight with Fury made him a bigger name in boxing

The casual pound makes the world go round

 

And who did either brother beat at all? Vitali lost to the two beset he fight, and Wladdy lost to bums.

It is more than they didn't fight each other--the avenged each other's losses, Vitali beating Sanders and Wlad beating Byrd. They divided the division up. Usyk did it with no such partner.

 

You don't seem to understand that Usyk is a cruiser, hence his PfP greatness dwarfing either brother.

There is no disagreeing--a fight is a fight. Both Ali's wins over Frazier count, both Patterson's wins over Johanson, but Zale's over Graziano, all five of Robinson's over LaMaotta...etc. This is nothing new.

They avenged each other, rather than standing on their own feet. The point has been made.

 

Wlad's problem was his chin, and thus, he let Vitali take Briggs. It is how they did things. They divided the division. The division started long before Vitali's return.

Yes, with a reign filled with Pianeta, Wach, etc. there was plenty of room for JCG, Birggs, and even Adamek.

 

Rematches are part of boxing. Without rematches, there can never be great trilogies. Casual thinking.

 

there's a lot of stupidity in this thread but this little nugget really deserves to be highlighted.

 

Shannon Briggs, really? 40 year old version of the Briggs, who hadn't fought anyone with a pulse in years, and last time he did so got schooled by a guy who Wlad already beat? Really? Wlad who went out of his way to get the fight made with prime David Haye, who chased his mandatory challenger Povetkin, even travelling to his backyard, hostile territory in Russia, who at the ****ing age 41, travelled to the backyard of the biggest hyped prospect since Riddick Bowe who also had the reputation of 2nd coming of Mike Tyson, avoided ****ing ancient Shannon Briggs? Really?

Prime Wach would've beat that version of Briggs. Pianeta may well have as well. It would've been cherrypick of the highest order, would've been even bigger a cherrypick than ancient Hashim Rahman (who was a late replacement to Povetkin). If this is trolling and you're just having a laugh, then apoligies. But, with respect, your argument is an outright lie and simply bizarre hatred.

I specifically stated that my argument was for during Wlad's reign, 2006-2015. During that time how they did things was Wlad ruling over the division, Vitali feasting on the leftovers.

Both Adamek (who couldn't crack an egg with his punches at HW, so you implying in the first paragraph that Wlad let his brother handle the big punchers and then mention him in the second increases my suspicion of you just trolling) and Gomez were WBC #1 challengers which was why Vitali fought them. Wlad was already dealing with mandatory challengers of 2 to 3 belts, you also wanted him to take care of his brother's mandatories as well?

 

I have a feeling Klitschkos are jealous of Usyk.

 

Wlad is better than Vitali and would KO him. Wlad could absolutely take shots from Dr Pillow-hammer, but nobody takes too many clean bombs from Wlad, especially Vitali with his chin sticking out and no defence but his height and footwork.

Vitali is a stiff robot as Fury rightly said. I doubt Usyk has much trouble beating him at all. Think about how Usyk dealt with Fury, who is not a stiff robot and a creative fighter. Vitali is very predictable and Usyk would run circles around him. The fact Vitali doesn't have a big KO punch means there's basically no chance he can take out Usyk and overcome the boxing difference. He couldn't even take out Briggs after punching him for over half an hour straight. In fact that was basically every Vitali fight, watching him desperately trying to KO everyone for half an hour.

Wlad is an actual threat to Usyk due to his massive power. It means a mistake from Usyk could cost him since Wlad only needs to connect well to win at any point.
