Ali, Foreman and Frazier beat him. Norton, has a chance. Holmes likely would. That's 5-6. But thats one of the best ages in HW boxing. Vitali is a heavyweight ATG.
You seem to be a lucky individual who hasn't seen some of the atrocities posted by klit lickers. Im referring to the hardcore fanboys. You clearly don't belong in that group. You seem to be a proper fan. If you think what im posting is ridiculous then your agreeing with me that these fanboys are going way over board with their nuthugging. Because im basically summarising their entire argument in one line. Size = everything! Skill doesn't matter. Stupid isn't it? Anyways seriously to answer your op i agree. He would be a top ranking contender who would be a nightmare h2h for anyone in that era.
the guy would have been a champion. great chin, 6f 8inchs, 110kg, great hand eye, great jab, this guy could be champion for the next 5 years. he could have 10 nore fights over the next 5 years and make 100 million. why not.
Vitali would have been an unbeatable champion in the '70's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He would have destroyed them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vitali!!!!!!! is!!!!!!! the!!!!!!! Best!!!!!!!
He would be top 3 in the 70's if not better. He would KO Ali and Holmes easily, the only threat to him would be Foreman.
The cortisone was medically prescribed AND it impairs performance, rather than improves it, unlike most steroid based medicines. You Klitschko haters must be really desperate if you are having to resort to childish smear campaigns against them! Oh and by the way, Vitali would have beaten EVERYBODY from the 70s, and probably would not even been given any tough fights
Yep, In Russia/Ukraine you hang around the gym and buy steroids. What for BS....you took what ever a 'Russian' sports Dr. gave you, no ask. And a Dr. gave him steroids for damage he got kick boxing. Don't do as told, they repo your car that normal folks had to wait 12 years to get. You do as told and if you won a big medal, you got a two bedroom apartment.....gold meant once, Moscow and not Hickville. It was still the tale end of Communism do as you are told, or else. Some folks just can not get the scene set, nope to Indians with Winchesters in that Sparta movie. Nope to gangsters selling steroids in 'Russian' gyms. Penicillin yes...steroids no.
Big lol when I read that frazier woul beat vitali. Also foreman was too simple fighter to beat vitali- foreman won mostly because of his great chin and very good power. but that power wouldnt be enough for 243 lbs vitali.
what the hell is wrong with you stupid klitschko wankers? he beat adamek yesterday, today he would beat muhammad ali??? vitaly is ok but thats all he is. An ancient chinless Lennox Lewis beat the crap of a so called prime Vit Klit so just shut the **** up about him beating some all time greats.
I think he would be top 3 in the 70's for sure, he beats frazier, beats norton, I give foreman/holmes/young a decent shot at beating him but it would be hell for them. And I believe he beats 70's ali as well, Pains me to say this cause ali is one of my favourite boxers, and I think 60's version ud's him but the clinching slower ali? He would have hell with vitali as well.
