Wladimir Klitschko didn't have one career-defining fight

Honestly they need to make that fight happen before they both retire, would help the HWD quite a lot.

 

His career isn't over yet.

Besides, I am not sure about that. The first Peter fight seemed to announce that he was over the hump with his problems and ready to go on to big things.

Chris Byrd is a psudeo great with wins over Holyfiled, Vitali and Tua, and Wlad stomped him twice.

 

can't believe I'm agreeing with VecArrow.

 

What about his fight against Peter?
As far as i know he was the underdog..
He was facing a big puncher who was on his way to the top of the division, and Wladimir was known as a fragile, gutless fighter who couldn't stay off the floor..
But he went in and beated Peter, who was seen as a monster back then and showed tremendous heart getting back up 3 times..
Even if he doesn't have a "career defining" fight, then maybe the fact that he came back from being stopped twice in brutal fashion in less than two years, to be on the top of the boxing world, is what defines Wlad?

 

:happy
3 brutal stoppage losses and he is the champion. Thats what defines him. He never gave up.
No one from his team wanted to see him in the ring with Peter. His own brother looked like a little girl in the corner.

 

AVATAR QUESTION:
what movie is that pic from?


ON SUBJECT:
I have to agree with you reluctantly. If we consider the two brothers as one. Which is what theyd have a do since then Corrie Sanders would be the closest thing career defining fight(s) to a degree.

Although, to say, I dont think any generation of ATG boxer would have steamrolled over them, especially a healthy Vitali.

 

Vitali's career is defined by that fight where Lennox Lewis ripped his face off in under six rounds.

 

On a serious note, if either Klitschko wants to be rightfully placed in the top 20 all time heavyweights, they would have to fight each other imo

 

wladimirs career defining fight was david haye.
it was a massive fight at the time, the second biggest fight that could be made in boxing and took years to finally get it together.
yeah, haye turned out to be a massive let down, but thats not the fault of wladimir.

 

Blame the NFL. :bananamaniac

 

:nono The President(ESB poster, not the other guy)said it's the result of the American penal system.

 

**** you. American Football > any other sport
