I mean it's fine if you'd wish the other 7 billion people on the planet would go through that 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' procedure and have the memories of him being beaten like he stole something by three tomato cans erased from their memories as if it didn't happen, but unfortunately it DID happen. If I wanted to watch a guy named Klitschko fight I'd watch Vitaly.....you know......the one with balls
Joe Louis got hammered by Max Schmelling before he became The Greatest Heavyweight Champion of All-Time and once a guy like Mike Tyson got beat he never fully recovered, Evander Holyfield had a yo-yo career full of wins and losses, Lennox Lewis had a few hiccups in his career, why is it that Wladimir alone gets this much disdain? You bring up Vitali fighting Wlad's opponents well the opposite is true as well Vitali lost to Chris Byrd (albeit due to injury) and Wladimir beat the shit out of Chris Byrd. Wladimir also avenged his loss to Lamon Brewster.

Point being is I think to be so harsh on a fighter's career is disingenuous, but suit yourself his 10 years of being top dog in the division is nothing to sneeze at
