to be a hall of famer you need to be a champion that has longevity. yes he was winning the fight against lewis but lost the fight legitimately. when he did eventually win the WBC belt he made one defence. Had his career not been cut short by injury then there is every chance he could have been a dominant champion and made the hall of fame. based on his career at the moment he is not a hall of famer
He lost his biggest fight which was against a fading, undertrained 38 year old Lennox Lewis.
Klitschko has not done enough to be in the HOF.
HOF at this point is ridiculous to even contemplate at this point, he's beaten no one of any real historical significance. To say that "only injury" beat him is wrong because it's part of the game (besides he quit out of exhaustion against Byrd, rotator cuff my ass). He lost to LL and not for the cut it was quite apparent he was going to get KO'd. Could Vitali be a HOF-er sure, but he's got a long way to go imo.
You've dug this up from over two years ago.Quote:

In my eyes yes
yes he is essentially a dull fighter to watch as was lewis
yes he does pretty much rely on his superior reach as did lewis
You cant blame the guy for not having much competition to beat up on. Vitaly would of been a fantastic asset during the early 90s when the likes of tyson, holyfield, lewis, bowe etc were around
