    He may not have had that one defining win but he was some very good

    wins, the 2 over Byrd, an old Ray Mercer, Tony Thompson, Eddie

    Chambers, David Haye, Calvin Brock, a young Sam Peter. all goods wins

    except for the name win against Mercer who was shot but all in all

    not as bad as some former HW champions

    I totally disagree. I think Vitali doesn't throw the right with all he has because that's how he injured himself in the Byrd fight.

    Vitali already get's more praise from me than Wlad does. Vitali punishes his opponents over a distance. I've seen guys bleeding from the ears from Vitali's right hand.

    I disagree with the OP. I believe Wlad actually had three career defining fights.

    Wladimir Klitschkos career is defined by easily beating top fighters. The same as Money May

    the fact wladimir came back from where he was is defining enough for him...vitali on the other hand needs the wlad fight and if not wlad he needs all the top fighters over the next few years to make him climb the atg list

    Ray Austin :lol: Did Teddy ever pick Wlad or Vitali to win?

    I heard Teddy's MOMMA had a very romantic fornication with DADDY KLIT. But dont quote me on that.

    Only Teddy knows :yep

    The whole "career defining fight" thing is given too much importance. So much of it has to do with hype. Ali - Frazier was build as the fight of the century, but that version of Ali could have lost to Norton right then and there and that version of Frazier would have been KO'd even then by Foreman. Yet when Foreman beat Norton, it wasn't anywhere near the hype of Ali - Frazier, even though in terms of ability of two HW's it was at least as good.

    Wlad dominates so much that decent opponents look like they have no chance. Chambers or Haye would probably be good enough to put up a decent fight against Louis, Ali (if 188 pounds Doug Jones could trouble a prime Ali, what could Haye do?) or Holmes but they just can't be competitive with the Lewis - Klitschko prototype.
