Vitali>>>>>>Wlad

You can debate greatness all day but Vitali is the most dominant boxer of all time. That is a fact.

45 wins 41 KOs and 4 unanimous decisions
Never been knocked down

Vitali has never been behind on the cards at any point in any fight

I can't really say how good Fedor is because its a well known fact that Pride was fixed and once he left and came to the US he got worked. I would like to think he was as good as we all think he was but it really is tough to say.

The heavyweight division is devoid of talent. That soft-assed European would have gotten a beat down from Holmes, Frazier, Liston, Foreman, Ali, Lewis, Bowe, Norton, etc. in their primes. European fighters are heartless and always have been. Pressure them and they fold.


Losses to Sanders, Brewster and Puritty? God no.

You must be very young son. The question is laughable. So many greats in the 70s and 80s.

The best fighters were in Pride. It was the superior organization in terms of talent and rules.

Fedor is the greatest MMA fighter ever.

There are a bunch of young punks in here. Tyson in his prime beats damn near anyone. Ali in his prime would knock out Klitchko.

the sports has evolved, though, and guys like vitali and lennox just have an advanced style

it's boring as fricking shite and has killed HW boxing, but it's effective as shite also

tyson is like 5-10. he's going to need a miracle to get inside against the distance vitali would create. and if tyson gets inside, he'll get hugged to death. jab, jab, hug. jab, jab, hug.

Vitali Klitschko beats both of them....and he brutalizes Tyson.

Wlad beats both as well but I'd give them a better shot. Wlad can't take a punch but the Emanuel Steward version of Wlad has learned to avoid punches and use his height, jab and straight right effectively.

Really? Are you serious or trolling? Ali would destroy him. Tyson would break his ribs.

Vitali's reach advantage over Tyson is nearly a foot. Wlad's would be 8 or 9 inches. Tyson would never get through that jab, especially against Vitali.

Tyson NEVER had good stamina and dealing with men that large and having to fight off their clinches, eating their jabs, eating their straight right hands would simply punish him.

Rocky Marciano never lost a fight. And he kicked Joe Louis's arse.
You completely missed the point. Marciano had 6 title defenses over about a 2 year period. Klitschko and Louis both held the belt(s) for over a decade.

ETA: And counting.

Vitali is 6'7. Tyson is 5'10. It's weird that as I've gotten older we've traveled into some alternate universe where Tyson was a fantastic all-around boxer. He had, perhaps, the greatest one-punch power I've ever seen. But when he couldn't use it, he was hapless and against technically proficient boxers he was exposed.

And he wouldn't lay hands on either of the Klitchkos, just going on reach alone. And I loathe both of those Ukrainian frickers

I can tell two things: 1. You're clueless about boxing, and 2. You probably don't even realize - and can't be convinced by anyone in this thread - that you're clueless about boxing.
