Vitali Klitschko vs Deontay Wilder

Agreed, but Wilder did not quit or got carved up over the eye, under the eye, cut tongue, cut lips and severe bleeding from the mouth once he stepped up.......fact is VK was tkod in six by a old on his way out Lewis and that is the high light of his career and what he is known for, he won the event but lost the fight.

 

At all time level I don't rate either of them.

 

LOL, Lewis was done and he still served VK for Thanksgiving dinner, that was a very sloppy fight with zero finesse, a simple beat down from a aging fighter who still had way more the the up and coming arm puncher...........Lewis exposed that VK has zero defense when he does not have the height or reach advantage......and his chin might have held up but his skin aint....

The Golfer a Monster ? Put the pipe down, that Monster got waxed quick by a Tyson sparring punch bag, waxed by slow as molasses B- level Hasbeen and besides ko'ing glass chinned WK has never ever Ko'ed or beat a legitimate top ten fighter ever.......the very definition of a flash in the pan who could never ever duplicate a winning streak against top opponents.

Klitschko boxes with supreme accuracy and control. He methodically carves up a defence. Wilder relies on his clubbing power and looks wild and sloppy. Does Wilder hit harder than Klitschko? Yes, I'd say punch for punch he does. But if power alone made a boxer great then Sam Peter would have been an ATG.

It's beyond obvious that Vitali's superior skills take this.

 

Without going into TKO6 again, Lewis would absolutely flatten Wilder. He's an actual ATG and Wilder is the definition of a padded, inflated record. Flabby Fury straight off the fat farm clowned Wilder for 12 rounds and showed what his level is. And Fury has very little power at all. Compared to Vitali he can't bust a grape.

 

I don't know...

 

You have a lot to learn...................26142 posts mean jack.....

Lewis was ko'ed twice by right hands from sub par fighters.......no way in hell would the VK version Lewis jump on Wilder, he would fight a tactical battle behind the jab and trying to capitalize on Wilders many mistakes while trying to neutralize Wilders right. Fact.

He showed zero, zilch nada respect to VK, he simply walkied him down from the opening bell and tranfered him to the butcher...

Against the shot to shid Tyson impersonator Lemmie fought a very cautious fight and showed him all the respect because he knew even that version of Tyson can short circuit him with one punch if allowed to land...............he was not afraid of the slighest what was comig back from VK....there was no urgency in Lewis's corner from Manny in the VK fight, all calm on the western front vs against Tyson Steward was dead afraid Lewis would get caught by something crazy and screamed at him to finish the Tyson corpse he was fighting....

Conclusion, VK is a limited fighter with exceptional physical attributes, poor skin punch resistance and is 1-1 in the quit department.........there are many similarities between him and Wilder except Wilders career is not finished yet and with two possible wins against Fury/AJ he can redeem himself........

 

Nice try at trying to equate the Fury of 01/12/18 with the 28/11/2015 (Dusseldorf) version; I'm not buying it, though.

The fact is that a Wilder in his pomp got mugged by a guy who'd gone three years without a meaningful pro bout and who'd hammered his mind and body with drugs and booze for the best part of his time out of the ring. Assuming that we're talking about a prime Vitali who, to the best of my knowledge, was never officially knocked down as a pro, I don't see this scenario you're imagining, whereby Wilder feeds VK right hands all night. One assumes you also think Wilder pulls this off without having a glove laid on him, the whole fight...

This "long range" prowess of Wilder's you're alluding to was not really on show, last weekend, was it? I mean, in real terms, he caught up with Fury just once from range, in the entire bout, and that was in the 12th. Let's not forget also that Wilder had Fury all but counted out in this round and still couldn't finish him off, long-range prowess or no.

You can dump on Vitali's record all you like. I'm not a fan and, quite frankly, can agree with much of the criticism he receives. However, Wilder has been found wanting in almost every facet of the game, save his power, and his record is no better than Vitali's (not that records particularly matter, for this discussion). Any guy, who can stand to take Wilder's power (and, it's already been proven that such men do exist) and has a reasonable level of boxing ability/IQ, stands to give him a serious run for his money or beat him.

Thus, I'm a long way off from being convinced that Wilder could beat Vitali Klitschko.

 

Lewis punches harder than Wilder imo, its proven at a higher level consistently !

 

None of the fighters Lewis stopped had a better chin than Fury and Ortiz would have beaten most of Lewis`s KO victims.

 

Fury is far better at slipping shots tan Lewis was he got hit with far too many jabs, Bruno and Mercer wouldn`t have landed even half the amount of shots on Fury that they landed on a pre Steward Lewis, because he was too easy to hit with the jab.

 

The guys Vitali`s hitting are wide open and getting hit flush numerous times, Wilder takes out more fighters with one shot.

 

Yes, because Ortiz has a litany of World Class KO scalps on his ledger, for sure

 

Ortiz gets stopped by the majority of Lewis's opponents, who's he beat ??

 

That might be the case but, then again, they'd be at far less a risk of taking punches from Fury, as well.
