Il bet my house he wins every fookin fight until he retires even at 41! Look kickboxing is something i know about and vitali was a good kickboxer but he never fought anyone of note really, no one great anyway, he fought in the lower ranking bodies and never won any major honours or any of the MAJOR world titles, nor did he fight in K1! Being a multiple world champ in kickboxing sounds impressive but there are many organisations in which you can win belts, and many non great fighters have took a belt or two, vitali was a good kickboxer but he is not considered a great in kickboxing....who knows though had he stuck at the sport rather than chose HW boxing! He is the kind of athlete who would have been great at any combat sport, watching him in K1 would have been interesting and watching the warrior that is vitali klitschko go up against the likes of the great peter aerts, cikatic, hoost and kaman would have been interesting!!
Secondly pele reid was not a great kicboxer either, in fact he was pretty average, he was also beat by the likes of julius francis and orlin norris in boxing! Like i said if you want see a great kickboxer see rob kaman or branko cikatic.
Alexey ignashov etc would have made great HW boxers too.

Somebody finally uploaded the "infamous" Pele Reid kickboxing match.
Vitali "I got kicked in the thigh"
Yeah you really got kicked in your "thigh"
Vitali didn't forget that KO and never will ... he was kicked square in the jaw not in his "injured thigh." His credibility is a joke just like his boxing career.
Now if only there was footage of the bout he had with Maskaev in the amateurs where he got dropped 3 times and TKOed in the first round
Here's Vitali accusing him of "lying"

Matt Skelton did the same shit I think.
Eventually kickboxers come to the realization... THERES NO MONEY IN KICKBOXING
vitali is a great athlete---have to admire him for sure. great athlete great condition and fast and strong. cannot ask for more than that......
still rank him #17 or so All-Time Great
ive always wanted to see the pele reid KO

Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
Finally after all these years.
The Pele Reid KO'd Vitali wind-up was one of my favs
@Lyle - that wasn't no "leg kick" (), he got his chin well and truly cracked

I don't care how big, strong and tough you are. You're not going to take a flush spinning kick to the chin and stay conscious.
LOL. So what? Maskaev stopped VK in the amateurs! Kickboxing is not even the same sport, so who cares? Michael Jordan didn't look so hot as a baseball player either, but it doesn't affect his legacy as a basketballer.
Wake me when you find footage of someone knocking VK out in a boxing ring, something that happened many moons ago in a kickboxing competition is not relevant.
Someone post the fight where Orlin Norris kayoed Pele Reid in 1 round. That has relevance on here.
The hatred on SB for K2 is astounding and quite pitiful really. I could understand it if they were just 'a flash in the pan' but it's been a decade of dominance now. Haters are getting old.
I think it speaks even more highly of Vitali to make the transition from kickboxing to boxing and reach such a high level. Kickboxers obviously don't have near the punching skill that a boxer does, and they are used to fighting at a different range than boxers (kicking range rather than punching range). In kickboxing you also get used to keeping guys away with front kicks, so in order to become the champ he was, Vitali had to un-learn a TON of kickboxing habits. I'm surprised over the years he never kicked someone just on instinct in a boxing match.
@THE PHILOSOPHER - Who's calling you Lyle?
Lyle is the Klits biggest ever fan (well until you arrived).
