Vitali Klitschko was never knocked down

Dont think so. He just doesn't have the right opposition.[/QUOTE]

So you think McCall has fought the better opposition? Did you see the shots Lewis landed on Vitali? I can't imagine anyone else in history taking them.

 

Don't forget he also was busted for steroids.

 

And he's a quitter.

 

I don't know if your serious or not. But anyway, regardless of KO percentage, Foreman has 28 more KO's than Vital. Secondly when Foreman retired in '77 he was 45-2 (42) KO 89.3%. (20 KO;21 TKO; 1 RTD) VK is currently at 43-2 (40) 88.8% (15 KO; 21 TKO: 3 RTD). Lastly Cooney, Norton and Lyle were all 6'3 and up. Foreman, thee hardest puncher ever!

Forgot, Wlad is a bigger banger than his big bro.

 

He hasn't fought Chisora yet.

 

it should have been ruled a knockdown against corrie sanders.
also, have you ever heard about pele reid?

 

Neither has Floyd

Goat chin

 

Perhaps he does. Can anyone show me a guy taking harder shots like Sanders, Lewis and Hide landed without going down?


Just as amazing as Vitali's record KO%, and never being floored as a pro is his rounds won to rounds lost ratio. Vitali has never been behind on the score cards in any of his fights past round three, and never lost more than two consensus rounds in a fight in the eyes of the judges. Amazing. No champion in any weight class in the history of the ring can match that.

 

Well, when Vitali retired, his KO% was higher than Foreman's was. Vitali has fought far less fighters with losing records in comparison to Foreman.

While I think Foreman hit harder, hitting hard is just one part of being a KO artists. Things as accuracy, and stamina play a part as well. If you use Briggs as a judge, he said Vitali hit harder than Foreman.

 

Yeah, have to hand it to him. Joint G.O.A.T. chin with Chuvalo!

Now that I've jinxed him, Chisora will probably put him on his arse.

 

While their young.

They get old and fat as they age, 90% of them

 

Right, Briggs did say Vitali hit harder than Foreman. And as far as Vitali's chin vs Chuvalo's chin, I cant see Vitali geting knocked down like Chuvalo did vs a 5'10" 205lb Bonevana or stopped in just four rounds by a 5'10" 205lb Frazier....

 

Chuvalo had the best chin in history, pound for pound and on an absolute basis.

 

How he was not put down from that shot was amazing. That punch would have split the greasy dreads of Lennox and left him for dead...

 

Yet he quit because of an "ouchy" shoulder. All time greats don't do that.
