    Would Klitschko have the advantage of not having to the fight the number 1 Heavyweight of the 70s and so build up a resume of journeymen like he has today?

    If the awful European 'Enry Cooper was able to be competitive against the greats of the 70's you would have to think the ATG Vitali would fancy his chances against the same foes.

    He wasn't. Besides, how dare you talk about 'Ammerin 'Enry'? The man is an English legend.

    You might agree, but he's wrong and so are you. The HW division was much deeper in the 70's, big Americans don't go into boxing like they used to for several reasons. Every once in a while you get a big talent popping up nowadays tho, and Vitali is one of them.
