This is an honor no heavyweight boxing champ ever gets such compliments from so many legendary former heavyweight champions. The heavyweight boxing 👑 king Vitali Klitschko is one of the greatest champs ever.
Ehm Tyson, Ali, Lennox Lewis, Marciano, foreman? They fought every one, Klitschko choosed as champ opponents he couldn't lose. For sure one of the best heavyweights of all time, but never top 5.
@J0ker4u Beating the stuffing? I'm pretty sure the scorecards said otherwise! It was close, and probably one of Lewis' toughest fights but the fact is he messed up Vitali's face early and I believe had another gear to go up if he need to.
@Ahmet1445 to help you with the facts, 2 times Vitali lost he was leading and winning the fight, first fight, his shoulder broke n the second one doctor didnt let him go on vs lewis. you should look up the fights before posting comments.. thank you
@J0ker4u Lewis was down by two rounds half way through the fight. Hardly being stuffed was he? I still maintain that cos he had messed up Klit face so much he knew he didn't have to be the aggressor/.
Wrong, lewis said Vitali has soft skin, he cuts easy and that his defence is do good , his awkward style makes him hard to beat and he can adapt and adjust to any style
Dude lennox was at his peak months ago when he beat Tyson. He looked terrific.He wasnt at his best for klitschko fight, but he is far from "washed up". Vitali had very short time preparing for the fight too. Judging from the scene I would say the power and size of vitali will always be difficult for Lewis to overcome at any stage of his career as he has never faced a guy as powerful as Vitali.
@michaelowensvr Lennox wasn't washed up, he was preparing himself for a fight..but sure he was fitter before...but that wasn't the best Vitali either! unlike some people say! and the most important thing: the fight wasn't over! Nobody has ever beaten Vitali!
@J0ker4u Where did I say he was being lazy? He opened up Klitscho in the third, by the fifth he was a mess. Everyone knew it wasn't going the distance unless Klitscho knocked him out. Lewis had him in his pocket once he opened that cut up. He didn't have to do a thing except keep landing the jabs, which is what he did. I actually saw a interview with Lewis recently where he said the exact same thing. So you have your opinion, I have mine. Mine matches with the guy that stopped Klitcho in the six
@Ahmet1445 holyfield was a cruiserweight before...to light for the Klitschkos...tyson had like 3 good years....lewis is maybe the best...almost the same height and a very smart boxer....he wasn't at his best against vitali but neither was vitali....vitali never really lost a fight and none of the klitschkos ever lost on decision
@Usux He wasn't leading against Lewis. He looked stronger but he had to, he was bust open horribly and it was only a matter of time before it was stopped. Lewis is on another level to either Klitsckho.
@SoLazy100 Lennox destroyed Vitali, thats fact. You cant say that Klit would won that fight if the doc wouldn stop it. Klit won the first rounds, but lennox was getting better and better
Look at Sonny Liston and Joe Louis, they had their opponent's knees knocking just by walking in and looking at them. All this flashy stuff has no place in something as pure boxing. Vitali wasn't even the champ when he made this entrance!
