I fully agree. If there's one thing boxing has shown us its that skill and heart doesn't mean **** The taller heavier man will always win regardless of skill.
How much more could he have done? You want good opponents? Lewis, Bowe, Golota etc. And one more thing, V. Klitschko KTFO Wlad any ****ing day. :deal
no... i favor vitali soundly over these guys ernie shavers hit hard, but was not a really skilled boxer.. hell he got knocked out by ron strander for christ sakes
Listen after all the debates about klits im summarising the main point klit lickers make. Size = everything. After much debate i agree now. Ive seen the light. Skill and heart doesn't mean anything if your opponent is taller. Take your rose tinted glasses off! Wladmir and vitali are the two greatest heavyweights that ever lived. They are beating 240 pound fighters like its nothing! Ali never could. Vitalis height would be too much for ali.
Only guys who give Vitali HTH trouble are Ali, Lennox and Bowe. I think he's too smart and big and awkward for Frazier, Holmes and just better than Foreman, young or old. Keep in mind: This guy is 40 years old!!!
