delphiandomine: In all fairness, Vitali fights like he's playing chess - methodical, slow and not at all exciting. He racks up win after win by doing so, but he never will be someone who puts asses on seats and will never capture the hearts of the world in the same way that others have done.
Come on, man :) He won 37 out of 40 by KO. Did Golota or anyone else have done it? Vitali Klitschko has the highest knock-out rate in the boxing history (~95%). How many fights with Klitchko Dr. Ironfist :) ended in round 12?
Just one. And this is exciting. Look at Ali fights, he was retreating in his fights and while doing so he threw the punches. This was his strategy. How interesting is that if you are willing to see one-blow knock-out? I bet if Klitschko was Polish, not Ukrainian (YEYYYY!) you would have jumped out of your pants glorifying him. Poland has much more talented boxers than Golota have ever been.
delphiandomine: Lewis tired Vitali out (Lewis was tired too, though!) - and that was an unmotivated Lewis.
Oh, come on - cut the crap. Unmotivated, old, half-dead, injured swan,... He was 38 and defending the fukcing World Boxing Title. Lewis was a great boxer, no doubt whatsoever (a legend), but he refused to give Klitschko the rematch to the fight Lewis was losing on all score-cards. If not the cut over Vitali's eye or more correctly, if the referree hadn't stopped the fight, Vitali would have put Lewis on canvas no questions asked.
