Re: Is this the worst era in HW boxing history?
"Because he is yet to fight his brother"
Sure that situation hurt boxing a bit but you claim that he didn't fight all the opponents because his brother took half of them.
That statement was silly because if Wlaidmir fought ALL the opponents, let's take the last 15 of Vitali's then that would put Wlad at 80 fights!
At 230+ HW you cannot have as many fights as you could in the days of 175+ or even 200+ because the punches get hrder and harder and damage accumulates quicker. Already Wladimir has the most fights, the largest record of 200+ real HW fights of all time!
Lennox Lewis did not fight all the opponents either.
Everything I claim for Wladimir I can claim similar for for Vitali as well. In fact his case is even easier to prove his superiority just numerically.
Every single one of Vitali's opponents from Lewis on was virtually either...
- A champion, former champion, future champion
- A giant super HW average 240+ lbs! (The largest non-bum opponent Ali ever fought was 225lb Alvin Lewis)
- An unbeaten contender or nearly unbeaten.
or a combination of the above.
"Enough with the games mate! Your messing with the Grand Master!"
Lennox Lewis
