    This may be true for you, but to pass this on as some sort of undisputable fact is a bit shortsided. The man is a champion and has earned more respect than this, IMO.

    Yeah, thank goodness, God forbid you give the man credit for achieving one of the greatest sports accomplishments possible. I mean far be it for anyone to recognize or appreciate a man who trains hard, is physically gifted, skilled, tough, and has achieved championship status. There's no reason to be over the top either way, both Klitschko's have earned respect and they dominate their division, period.

    How has he dominated? He's beaten some solid B level guys but has never even proven himself to be the no1 heavyweight in the world because he won't fight his brother.

    Where's the option for "both of the above"??

    I can't decide :twisted:

    His quitting was bad enough but flopping around like a glass jawed **** against Lewis and Sanders was pretty memorable too, as was his retiring to avoid the monster Rahman.

    He's also going to be remembered not only for quitting against Byrd but also making Byrd look like Mike Tyson in the way he was stalking VITLAY in that final round :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Foool, Lewis retired cause he was done and he knew it. Just cause Vitali was the last guy he fought he hardly means Vitali retired Lewis. Esp cause Lewis stopped him.

    Forman has everybody beat in that department. :good

    The difference is Vitali did it after a 4 year retirement & he fought for the WBC belt without a tune-up. That's something special & you were alive to witness it. Consider yourself lucky.................

    Domination is losing like maybe 4 total rounds since & including the Lewis fight.

    How many rounds did Lewis win? 2

    How many did Johnson win? 0

    How many did Sanders win? 1

    How many did Williams win? 0

    See a pattern here?
