    what's the criteria for having an A+? is winning or being a reigning heavyweight champion no longer acceptable?
    ****, let's name A+ fighters and then discuss their losses or flaws, ...or is that not necessary either

    Arreola, adamek, Briggs, etc......



    The guy wrongfully gets criticized for not always being EXTREMELY dominant, when he is ALWAYS dominant to some degree, seldom loses more than two rounds per fight, and wins by a wide margin, or KO EVER fight.................yet they dismiss his dominance and say he is lacking.

    I don't get it.

    Vitali was caught for steroid Usage before the Olympics.
    Although he wasn't caught again, many of his injuries have been related to 'side effects' of steroid and Ped Usage.
    I for one do not know for sure if he was on the juice or not. But this is something to think about.

    He also quit against Chris Byrd. But that could be because of injuries.

    IMO Vitali Klitschko, like Lennox Lewis, had an awkward style of boxing that would not allow them to look good technique-wise. Nonetheless, they have managed to beat other fighters who have better looking established boxing techniques. I do think it is time for the older Klitschko to retire.

    Although Vitali ran for much of the fight and was making women gestures in the ring whenever he was hit according to my eyes and Chris Arreola anyway.

    check 3:20 !

    When was the last time a HW boxer from a country outside the Ukraine put in a B+ performance?

    He looked as good as ever around the Danny Williams fight.

    What exactly constitues a "Womanly gesture"?. Must of missed it. Was it somewhere in the superior speed, footwork, strength, size, IQ and toughness that Vialit showed? Was it during the massive beating he dished out? Was it when Chistobal cried like a girl?

    Or did your just repeat the bull**** spurting from the mouth of a crying fighter who just had his ass handed to him with ease?


    ****ing ***s. Vitali is a 40 year old man and there is exactly one man on this planet who could lay a claim to beating him in a boxing ring.



    edit, maybe two men could beat him.................................

    I only say cause i went away for 6 months and when i came back the old Klit hater/trolls turned into some of the most informative and fair posters on this site (and funniest). Thats all brother




    Im not a Vitali fanatic at all btw. I like his cartoonish USSR demenour and his awkward style. His brother is the real jewel in the family for me.

    He looked good vs. Adamek - which is just 2 fights ago.
