This is because you don't understand how options work. Options belong to promoter not the boxer. Wlad and Vitali were promoted by Universum at that time.
YDKSAB. Obviously, championship fights take more time to get made than a tune-up. Vitali wasn't cleared to fight in time to make the fight happen.
Gomez was a solid fighter, Peter was a major belt holder, and both Adamek and Solis were top ten rated heavies, Arreola I think was borderline. Certainly not clubfighters as the poster I was responding to claimed them to be. I wasn't claiming them to be great, merely not absolutely terrible.
TKO's come in different types, that's why. It wasn't like Lewis was knocking him down or anything, Vitali was cut by a punch & Lewis continued to target the cuts. Perfectly legit of course, but not the same as actually knocking him out. :deal
vitali klitschko the horrible ukrainian bully who poked his finger up small dogs bum and sucked poo from his finger like lolly pop is a fraud ps tehehehehehehe
He hasn't freely admitted many times to using steroids and getting kicked off the Olympic team? Umm, OK. :huh
To prove that Vitali is a fraud, all you have to do is ask his fans what Vitali's best 5 wins are. Then sit back and have a laugh as you hear names like Chris Arreola and Herbie Hide.
So you're a fraud if your best wins are against Arreola and Hide? You might be misguided on what being a fraud means. To be a fraud a) the fraud himself (not his fans) is pretending and telling people he's one thing (which he knows he is not) b) the public/fans/victims believe him and rely on his representation c) the fraud inflicts (financial, psychological, whatever) damage to those relying on him Vitali can't be a boxing fraud because he AFAIK never claimed to be something he's not. Compare that to David Haye who kept saying he's the savior of the HW division while putting himself in line with history greats such as Dempsey, Louis and Ali.
