    Why does Vitali cop so much flak on these forums and others , media etc ? It seems to me that most of the flak comes from the U.S. The guy has created history being sidelined for so long and coming back and dominating again he is obviously an all time great . It cannot be argued yet it is ! The only logical reason is complete discrimination coming from the States . Ok he may win ugly but he wouldnt be the first great sports person to do that , in a number of sports there are great examples of this . Lennox Lewis was never liked in the States even though the guy was awesome ! How the blinkers can be so bad ! The fact of the matter is that Vitali Klitschko would beat any heavyweight thats ever fought maybe with the exception of Lennox Lewis in his prime . None of the pre Lewis heavyweight greats would ever get close enough to do any damage to Vitali , his size and ring smarts would be too much . Tyson maybe but the rest I dont think would have had any chance . Sure talent wise those guys may have been better but you have to take the whole package into perspective and admit the truth . Seems like speaking to a brick wall though :-(

    Whats so great about him?? his brother has beaten better fighters than him, Lewis TKO'D him, ,, A PRIME Ali, Holmes, Foreman, would have smashed that robot to pieces!! and prime Riddick Bowe and Tyson would have probaly beaten him too, VK has beaten, Sanders, Williams, Gomez, and Sam Peter, and Hide, not exactly murderers row:-(..

    Vitali gets alot more credit than you make it seem.

    Only a fool would think that people bag Vitali Klitscko when they say that he would not beat every heavyweight in history

    I would even go further and state that he would beat Chuck Norris and Steven Segal with one hand. :D

    even if Segal had a knife and Norris was allowed using drop kicks, Vitali KO1 with one hand tied behind his back and he's wearing blindfold.

    Are you mad?

    A one-handed Chuck Norris would SCHOOL Vitali.

    Throw in a one-handed Steven Segal, and Vitali is as good as dead.

    He fought well against a completely fat and out of shape Lewis , but still ended up looking like this ..

    and losing ...

    You really think this comes just from the states? For you to make statements like "He Beats all Past HWs except prime lewis," is what creates the anti- vitali sentiment you speak of. Grossly overrating him against legends of the ring only proves to us what you actually seem to be.... A STUPID ****ING NOOB, GTFO.

    My main beef with Vitali was his whiny cry baby **** after the Lewis fight. He lost fair and square and basically complained that if he hadn't lost he would have won. THen LEwis retires and instead of going on to form his own legacy, Vitali pretty much tried to ride out the fact that he did good in his loss.

    Basically VItali's most defining fight is a loss.

    at this point its safe to say that Vitali's most defining fight is coming off a 4 year hiatus and beating the #2 man in the division like his record was 9-26 or something
