Vitali is the greatest HW of all time.

Joe Louis would get destroyed by Vitali.

Klitchko fought Lewis, and did very well. Rightly stopped by a nasty cut. But Larry, who I think the world of, says Klitchko hasn't fought anyone aggressive. Meanwhile, Arreola hasn't fought anyone yet. I like his point about athletes from different eras. I think though, if athletes from say 50 years ago had access to the science of today, they'd probably be just as good as today's athletes.

@lee1990lee Louis would lose to Vitali 99% of the time. Louis achieved more in his time than Vitali, so he ranks greater all time, but he would literally lose to Vitali in under 3 rounds. Louis is probably at the level of Vitali's sparring partners. Boxing fans are one of the few fans that argue that guys from 50 years ago would beat guys today. The tennis guys don't argue that Bjorn Borg would beat Rafa Nadal. The track guys don't argue that Owens would outrun Bolt.

@Pete12344545 Of course Louis would get destroyed by Vitali, Louis was 200 pounds, Vitali is 60 pounds bigger plus he has modern training equipment and nutrition. I think the biggest argument in favour of todays fighters is the one that Americans often overlook - that Klitschko's fighting the whole world. Ali only fought half the world cause the other half was under communism.There's a reason Eastern Europeans conquered boxing only recently it's because they only got to compete now

louis kills vitali easy

@bcibibcibcpCB if u do box..it makes the points uve made on here look even more hilarious..u shouldnt be calling anyone n idiot..makes u look worse

[TheJayone23]

@bcibibcibcpCB i c u cowardly avoided answering my last response..truth hurts doesnt it...dude even gomez could beat most fighters from any era..size, very fast , left handed fighter. so go feed ur biased bullshit to someone who will buy it. again a black hope can happen again when klitchkos retire..so save ur bull shit excuses

[bcibibcibcpCB]

@TheJayone23 Another idiot who doesn't know shit about boxing and therefor looks at records. I knew bums who had a 60-0 record. I've boxed since I was a kid and been a pro, I can see who can fight and who can't. I realy don't care what kind of record those fat bums have Klitschko knocks down. They are fat, slow, no movement, how can you fight against a giant without speed and movement?

[TheJayone23]

@bcibibcibcpCB hope u realize all says ray mercer beat lewis and wlad klitchko kod mercer..n by the way who the hell did lewis beat? washed up tyson n holyfield..he fought nobody in there prime n got ktfo several times. do ur homework..last 4 opponents of vitaly had ZERO losses combined..so again stop hating n get a life

[bcibibcibcpCB]

@TheJayone23 I hope you realise that the only good fighter Klitschko ever faced is Lennox Lewis and he lost. I don't care if he defeates 1000 of those bums he fights, black or white.

[TheJayone23]

@bcibibcibcpCB by everybody ..u mean in ur opinion or black guys n general lol ur smokin crack..the ninieties was the biggest boxing has been since ali. athletes find longer now because or nutrition, etc..dont hate on the klitckos cause no black guys can compete with them. lewis came in heavy on purpose to face a bigger oponent in kurt johnson..that extra weight saved him from getting ktfo in the 2nd round by vitaly
