Vitali Klitschko won every single fight but 1 (ONE) by knockout. Great percentage.

I think his ko percentage is a bit misleading, he was the type of fighter to grind you down with his size and workrate.

I dont think he was a massive puncher in the vain of Foreman or a Tyson, most of his punches looked like arm punches, but he obviously must have some pop behind him.

 

So fault VK for kirk dishonoring himself and the sport? the man fought and KO'd everyone infront of him

 

Vitali fought Williams at Danny's peak if he ever had one. Williams had just put the 2nd to last nail in Tyson's comeback coffin. Williams also KOed Kali Meehan, who was robbed vs. Brewster, in a single round.

 

vitlay was/is overrated, people still believe he is better than wald atsch

 

For one reason...because he was a tough ******* and though he may be out boxed by some guys he would never be out toughed

 

he won every single fight but 3 by knockout.

 

tough chin isn't everything, wlad has faced/beat better opposition.

 

I never said he was better than Wlad. Little brother's legacy is already far above Vitali's.

 

Tough is not everything agreed...but when you have the ability to never end a fight down on the cards and you can take a beating it's going to take something out of the ordinary to stop you (a ripped up face/your arm hanging by a thread)

 

:rofl :rofl

Dear god. Where is the handjob smiley when you need it?

 

Just look for the Calzaghe lovers.

 

Actually, Vitali lost to Byrd. Hardly shows you can outdo him, excuses or no.

 

He was the man at HW and that's good enough for most. Vitali was a beast in the ring, admit it. His injuries caught up with him, no real shame in that. I appreciate the fact he didn't fight if he wasn't at or near 100% of his abilites. Many less honorable fighters would've taken the money & put on a **** show.

 

Again, by injury. I think his corner was worried that he'd cause permanant damage which is very likely with a torn rotator cuff. David Cone needed the same surgery and he was out awhile for it too.

 

actually, if you watch the fight, you will see Vitaly showed he can outdo Byrd, wether he won or lost.
