This deserves way more views, great documentary
Thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it!
Waaayy more
Agree with Bob Sapp.
Left you a shoutout in my latest video! Stay tuned my friend! Thanks for supporting this channel brother!
@@uzukboxing haha nice! i look forward to it!
Big Ups!! Klitschko really was unbeatable after he hit his prime and his 2 "losses" just absolute unfortunate
Thanks brother!
Contra Byrd ele desistiu da luta quando estava vencendo por pontos. Alegou um problema no braço. Poderia ter ido até o fim vencendo por pontos.
Thank you, this was a great reminder of how Vitali Klitschko became a great without many people noticing. Vitali is also my favorite boxer of all time. In a sport where most boxers are wife beaters, showboats and just classless, Vitali showed his character each time he confidently moved forward with a We Will see instead of a diatribe about how awful the other person was. He was a warrior in and out of the ring. I miss watching him fight. He is one of the best though he will never be remembered that way in the West.
Thank you friend for taking your time to watch and comment! Im glad you've enjoyed it and yes Vitali is my favorite as well. As you've stated correctly he was a class act of a man inside and outside of the ring. A role model which all men should try to be like.
@WritingYogi your picture is awesome!
Well, I'm in the west, and I remember him as the best! (His brother was awesome, too.) Dempsey, Louis, KLITCHKO BROTHERS!
Sou brasileiro e concordo plenamente com você amigo. A grande maioria eram e são realmente deselegantes e exibicionistas, e até mesmo Mohammed Ali era.
You self-righteous individual, most boxers are wife beaters?
Disgraceful remark, you ought to be thoroughly ashamed of yourself....
Prime vitali is one of the top tier legendary heavyweights of all time IMHO.
Yes Sir brother 100% truth! Thanks for watching bro!
totally agree
You've brought such great honor to Vitali and his brother Vladimir! The Klitschko Brothers were not only great for boxing, they are great for humanity! Superb breakdown of the most underrated heavy weight of all time! "Dyakuyu!"
To the gentleman that put this together... Thank you so much! Both these brothers are great, and I personally believe that Vitali was the greatest of all boxers! Bless both men now, as they defend and save Ukraine! Slava Ukraini!
@@leewilson77 lmao u ukraine tools r a hoot
Excellent presentation and for what it is worth, I concur with you that Vitali is the most under-rated boxer of all time :-)
Thanks brother! Appreciate it!
@@uzukboxing they thought he had a glass jaw but they were dead wrong. Ukrainian warrior. LOVE them both and these brothers saved the heavyweight division In the early 2000’s. No doubt,
And the king makes a return 👑
Thanks brother!
Return ?
@@4eyes2souls60 Yeah bro been away for a while you know. Couple of months but Im back!
Vitali's record indicates he is one of the greats of boxing! Against Chris Byrd in a title fight he was easily winning on points before he tore a rotator cuff. The contest was stopped. This bout was counted as a loss.
Supposedly, the only ' household big name' he fought was Lennox Lewis. Vitali was winning on points before the cut caused the bout to be stopped in round 6. Post fight, Lewis was an ungracious, lucky victor, claiming it was a matter of time before he, LL, won. Lewis retired shortly afterwards, indicating he wanted to avoid a rematch with Klitschko at all costs. The aforementioned are recorded as his only losses, when Klitschko was winning on points before the premature conclusion of both contests.
Vitali's knock out record is phenomenal! Hardly anybody went the distance against him over a 40 odd bout career. Moreover, he appeared to win almost every round he fought in every contest.
Along with Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Cassius Clay/Mohammed Ali in the 60s, Vitali Klitscho has to be considered one of the all time greats in boxing history, even if others like his brother, Wladimar, have been better technicians and more stylish. Vitali K was very dominant over the course of his long, successful career.
It wasn't his fault his career was at the end of a strong era, when Foreman, Tyson, Holmes, Holyfield, Bowe and Lewis, were close to their prime.
Amen brother! People who discredit him for not facing “top“ notch contenders forget that there were hardly any legit heavyweights during this time. But dont these people realize that Vitali would have faced any man? He would have also fought Fury and if so he would have beat him! Thanks for taking your time to comment at full length my friend!
@@uzukboxing , he wouldn’t have beat fury, he’s too robotic
@@agnikaineverdies7646 He cold beat him. the same as Wladimir who gave him a good fight when was already 39 and out of his prime, couple years before Tyson would most likely loose (same as Joshua)
@@someoriginalname6004 i think Fury and Vitali are the 2 greatest ever. 1A and 1B. no telling who would win. my gut says Fury, but Vitali was a cyborg, and didn't know how to lose. he just knew how to destroy. the GOATS, both of them
@@uzukboxing No worries: that's the same excuse they STILL give about another all-time great, Rocky Marciano. A man can only beat who's around at the time. Da Rock and Dr. Ironfist both did that. What more can you ask of a boxer?
No big mouth showboating from either klitschko just solid hard hitting boxers.respect to both
...and respect to you for watching and taking your time to comment brother!
Very well done documentary. I liked both brothers, not only for their boxing prowess, but for the fact that they were genuine gentlemen
Thank you very much Dan! I really appreciate it! Exactly they have that old school boxing mentality about showing up on time and being a class act inside and outside of the ring. Boxing needs more champions like them. Usyk is just like that. Must the mentality from their country. They probably just raise their young with a lot more respect and courage.
One of the Greatest Heavyweight’s of All Times !!! Dr Iron Fist VITALI KLITSCHKO !!! 💪🏻👊🏻 🇺🇦 🇰🇬
Right on Matt! Thanks for watching brother!
@@uzukboxing It was an absolute pleasure to watch this amazingly wonderful tribute to the man here that you put together ! Absolutely giving him his dues and the respect he has long deserved as one of the most competent and consistent Heavyweight Champions in the modem Heavyweight division who totally dominated it alongside his little brother Wladimir for over a decade ! You done the Klitschko’s great justice here !!! Just awesome, the best documentary of its kind !!!
Wow bro thanks a lot! I really appreciate the fact that you enjoyed the video. You understand very well why I made this video. What a shame that nobody talks about Vitali today anymore. Hes not mentioned at all when talking about true great boxers in history. Thats why I had to make a documentary about him, portraying his amazing career and giving back at least a little bit to honor him because he was truly one of a kind! Thanks again brother!
@@uzukboxing Personally, I thought he was a great fighter. I have a hard time keeping him out of my All-Time Top 5 Heavyweights!
I've got to say..I'm beyond impressed. This is one hell of a documentary and the creator's knowledge, passion and dedication for not just Vitali Klitschko, but the sport of boxing are first rate. Well done and thank you.
Thanks Allyson! Left you not only a personalized shoutout in my newest video but the Final shoutout of that video! Stay tuned! Thanks for your support!
If there was a tournament of all the greatest heavyweights in history in their prime. Vitali would win it easily.
You know what man...I agree! Thanks for watching brother!
I concur
He would do good and would definitely be top10 but winning easily with all best heavy champions, you going too far lol, he have very hard fight against Lennox who wasn't no longer in his prime and was almost 39 years old. Tyson and Foreman propably would KO him, Ali could win on points.
@@someoriginalname6004 Tyson? 😆 man, get off drugs. Tyson got slaughtered by Buster Douglas. Vitali would end Tyson’s life
Amazing fighter, amazing video
Thanks brother! Appreciate it!
Thank you for this documentary on legendary Vitali Klitschko
Thank you for watching and commenting brother!
Classic boxer, classy man, just a class act in or out of the ring.
Let's hope he will get out alive of this war. He is a hero.
Truly! Thanks for watching Matthias! Make sure to checkout my Klitschko vs Putin video! Thanks bro!
Insane boxer. One of the best in the history of boxing. Now he is taking arms up to fight the Russians while he could have chosen to live in luxury and maybe get millions from boxing show matches against Tyson or others. He is a role model for all.
What a great job you did! Respect
Thanks Tom! Glad you enjoyed it my friend!
Great video sir. I totally agree with you Vitaly is my all time favorite heavyweight.
Thank you Sir! Glad you enjoyed it. Same here he is also my favorite Heavyweight of All time!
@@uzukboxing nice to hear that from an American because the k brothers always got hated by the American media wich brainwashed some people because they always said they are robot like and boring, maybe wladimir but not in my opinion but people see them as one but they are completely different, mentally and technically. Appreciate your great work and your attention to a real great in boxing wich got forgotten by many but not by real boxing fanatics.
One of the greatest champions of all time !
Very true my friend! Thanks for watching!
Klitschko brothers are my favourite boxers in the HW. I also think Ukrainians are just incredible fighters on the ring and in the real life! With what is going right now amongst Ukraine and Russia I have nothing but a big respect and love for this great nation of warriors!
Fun fact Vitali Klitschko is the only one HW champion who is never been on the floor in the history of boxing so far!
Me to brother! Thanks for watching and taking your time to comment! What a crazy fact! Not only Dr. Ironfist but also Dr. Ironchin!
Vitali ...
The 6ft '7 ... boxing Legend..👍🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
I've been saying THIS for years! He used his size and power perfectly. His reflexes we're incredible for a big guy. His awkwardness is his catch 22. It helped him win EVERY professional fight on the scorecards, but some boxing critics still say that he wasn't skilled and he's not mentioned among the greats. He was different and it worked. Much respect to him with his boxing career and what he's fighting against now. Great video, sir!
I grew up with both of them dominating the boxing scene. Usually the fights weren't big of a show and sometimes even kind of lame, but only because of the sheer dominance. It's sad that people don't recognize this.
Not american nobody cares. Even worse slavic.
This is the best video I ever saw about vitali klitschko. Great work bro I love it.
I always saw vitali klitschko as one of the strongest boxers ever lived (in my opinion the strongest, I would always bet my money on vitali against any opponent of any Era) but i always tought I'm the only one who sees it.
Sry for my bad English greetings from Germany.
Danke Dir für dein Feedback bro! Motiviert mich immer wieder solche Comments zu kriegen, da ich enorm viel Zeit in solche Videos investiere. Hab früher die Klitschko Kämpfe immer auf deutschem TV gekuckt:) Waren tolle Boxzeiten Amigo!
I completely agree @uzukboxing!! Thank you for this video and your rightful conclusion! Vitali is one of the greats as far as I'm concerned (better than his brother even). Keep u the good work!👍
Thanks Mark! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment! Means a lot to me. True words brother!
@@uzukboxing Thanks, man!
Vitali was a beast, his only losses were due to injury and a cut in fights he was winning, never knocked down, defended a heavyweight title into his 40s, retired as champ, one of the highest ko percentages.
Toughest fight I’ve ever seen him in was against another underrated fighter in the South African corrie sanders.
Fought farmers
I always tell people Vitali is the actual all time GOAT of boxing. Because he is. Great vid.
Great documentary - really touched me. In Germany both Klitschkos are legends for being such skilled fighters in the ring and such likeable and loving guys outside. We have huge respect for them. And as of today, they joined the Ukranian armed forces and fight for the freedom of their country - although they could live comfortably anywhere in the world. Well, so much for the "Not the heart of a warrior"-claims. As I said. Legends.
Thanks Peter! Glad you enjoyed it! I used to watch all their fights on German Television when I was a kid. Die guten, alten Zeiten wo Boxen noch Boxen war und man in der Runden Pause keine Werbung sehen musste sondern Closeups von der letzten Runde! Hau rein bro!
Wow what an epic video. Big thank you for your work!
Thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it!
You just gained a new subscriber bro. AMAZING DOC!!!! I LOVE VITALI... he is my favourite boxer too. Id say Ali greatest of all time but Vitali is my 2nd best but still my favourite and like you I admire him most of any boxer. Thanks for this Doc. Im gonna download it and save it now
Thank you brother! Really Appreciate it my friend! We see eye to eye, I also know Ali is the Greatest of All time but Vitali is my favorite Boxer of All time! Thanks for subbing! Welcome to Teamuzuk!
@@uzukboxing love and respect brother. Happy to be in your team Uzuk. Continue making great content!
@@Neilyman Will do brother thanks!
Good documentary with some emotions in it, keep up the good work. Even tho most people think his brother Wladimir has a better resume and wins it is pretty safe to say that Vitali could have beaten anyone his brother beat and more, was just that much tougher, had same power, was a bit bigger, could dogfight and trade blows when he wanted to, was never knocked down, just a beast of a man.
Thanks brother I really appreciate your feedback! Wladimir was def a good boxer but Vitali was one of the best ever. Very accurate description by the way my friend!
If Vitali didn't have his injury he would've had a better resume than his brother in mind.
Wow! What an amazing documentary. What an amazing fighter.
The very first heavyweight championship boxing match I ever watched live was Lewis vs Klitchko. I was a teenager and watched it with my mom. We watched some of the pre-fight programming and we picked Klitchko as our man because we thought Lewis was arrogant and entitled and needed knocked down a peg.
Watching the fight, even as someone with very little boxing knowledge, it was obvious that Klitchko dominated for all 6 round and that Lewis was finished by the end of those 6 rounds and it was clear in the interviews afterward that Lewis knew he lost thr fight, but his ego couldn't take it.
What an amazing introduction to the sport. I was have loved to see Vitaly fight the likes of Tyson Fury or a prime George Forman. Vitaly is definitely the most underrated boxer of all time.
the fact that Vitalii has never been knocked down tells a lot. I do not know who in current decade heavyweights can show the same result...hmm I guess another Ukrainian warrior Oleksandr Usyk...who is in fact still undefeated and achieved so much in just 19 fights
Very true! Thanks for watching buddy!
Imagine Vitali’s natural toughness and fighting instinct combined with Wladimir’s strength and natural technical talents. Now that would really been insane.
That would truly be a great combo! Unbeatable!
You're the real one.
@halittheprofit ehhh his younger bro would get whooped if they fought. And those things you call Vladimir better at is debatable… vitali had a better chin. Record and has fought chisora and Lennox when they were at their best. And his brother also has a “weak” shot taking ability to say the least
vitaly was stronger and more technical actually.
good to see ur back g
Thanks brother glad to see you back here again as well!
cool that you're back
missed the good content . 🙌🏾
Finally someone gives Vitali and Vladimir the credit they deserve. Good documentary 👍
Thank you great Zeus! Im glad you enjoyed it! May you watch over us from mount Olympus!
Wow I'm so glad I watched this video. You can tell it has the touch of a lifelong true fan. I must say, I have to agree with you. I feel ashamed for not knowing the truth to this mans legacy.
Thanks Jeremiah! Blessings to you and your family!
I think Lennox stole this guy's bike as a kid😁
LOL
No kick boxer ever became a heavy weight boxing champion before. He is the only one to make that transition. Randy Tex Cob was a heavyweight kick boxer but he never became a boxing champion . Vitali is also the only fighter to have a PHD and like his brother Wladimir they speak several languages . Vitali is now Mayor of Kiev . They are totally unique especially as they both fought in the same weight class and in the same time holding all belts in between them at one time YET they dont get the credit they so clearly deserve and the reason is simple . They were not Yankees or English men . Can you imagine two american or english brothers ruling the division in between them. You never hear the end of it. They were based in Germany and had a German promoter so the big yankee events and money was missing . They both did not fall for Don King and both saw him for what he was. A dishonest hustling Vampire .
Cecilia Brækhus did the same🤗. But no other male, maybe except his brother 🤷
Wow what an amazing channel with such high quality videos!!! I'm amazed that you don't have more subscribers!!! All in due time. God bless you brother 🙏
Thank you Brother! I will do my best as always! Blessings to you as well my friend!
This was great. I have officially found my new favorite boxing channel. No need to look at any others.

Thanks for showing how the injury happened in the Lewis fight. I wondered about a head butt, but couldn't see it happen. Left side of Vitali's face was repeatedly lacerated by the inside of Lewis's right glove. Interesting that nobody wants to talk about that.
Thanks for watching Charles and Im glad I was able to make things clear
He was beating Lewis but he lost because his eye.
Great documentary! Klitschko brothers are living legends, they deserve more props
Thanks John!
Wow just compare the Armateur record of wladimir with anthony Joshua's. 134 wins out of 140 fights.
Aj has only 34 fights and 4 losses. Here you can see how much effort the klitschko brother had to put in to become pros because they came from a soviet country.
Very true my friend! Most fighters have to bust their butt to ever get a shot. Nothing is given to 99.9% of the people in this sport. You have to earn it to make it...except if you are marketable sadly. But looks mean nothing in this sport. Look at Fury he doesn't look like an athlete at all but next to Usyk hes the best boxer on the planet. Thanks for watching brother!
Excellent video with heartfelt effort👋🏻👋🏻
I would actually love to see a video comparing both Klitschko brothers. Anyway great work bro keep up!
Thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe down the line I will give that a go buddy.
the klitschko era was something else
It is by far one of the best documentaries I've seen in a long time. Keep up the good work
Thanks again brother!
Another outstanding documentary. Intense and factual, but with your usual flair and fun. Setting the standard for others to follow! Thank you for your time and effort.
Thanks brother for your great feedback ! Thank you for taking your time to watch and especially comment! Have a great day!
Great vid my man. Enjoyed it. Solid points. I agree he is very underrated. One of the best modern heavyweights - easily!
GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you to all involved. An underrated fighter and an underrated video.
Thanks brother! Appreciate the feedback! I made it all on my own so comments like yours really make my work worth it. All the best for 2024 brother!
Your back brother, Glad you made video on Vitali, one of my favorite than Wladimir. I think he's the better boxer than his brother.
Thanks brother! Glad to see you back here again as well. Vitali was on another level. Enjoy my friend!
Very well made thanx. Nobody named KLITSKO was ever underrated, underestimated etc. True UNDERRATED heavyweight of all time is LUIZ KING KONG ORTIZ. This man needs a documentary if your up for it. Only lost twice ever, ko by wilder where Ortiz clearly outboxed him. Only man on earth that can beat FURY and no one talks about why? Truly UNDERRATED, not just clickbait
3 and a half minutes in and I can tell this is gonna be good. You deserve more views
Thanks brother! Really appreciate feedback like that! Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking your time to watch and comment!
I totally agree. It's true about Larry Holmes having been underrated, Lewis was great. However truly Klitschko stood above them all I so agree. Also correct about Riddick Bo. You are spot on. And Klitschko a true champion of Heart IQ toughness and Class. I will say that Real Deal Holyfield also had Class too, and Heart toughness and skill and IQ. I would say Klitschko was the most underrated. Amen. And I'm not necessarily an easy sell. Champion Vitali Klitschko. Amen!
Great channel 👍🔥
Thanks buddy!
What an awesome video!! I think vitali klitscko might just be the best heavyweight ever. I doubt any boxer ever couldv beaten both klitschkos
Thank you brother! Glad you enjoyed it. Took a hell of a long time to make ill tell you but man I just had to make a video of him because hes just forgotten. So sad such an amazing fighter and nobody talks about his achievements inside as well as outside the ring. Thanks again for watching my friend!
@@uzukboxing americans are so biased towards their own athletes. They will never give the klitschkos the credit they deserve.
But lets not forget that the klitschko bros couldv signed a deal with don King to get more money and easier fights but they said no coz they wanted to fight the best. And people who say it was a weak era dont realize that it was only weak coz klitschkos were so dominant they made everybody look weak.
This is amazing brotha!
Thank you brother! Appreciate it!
Awesome video man.
Thank you my friend! Glad you enjoyed it!
I cant believe i waited too long to watch this. This was an amazing video and it did justice to a boxer fight night didnt even give 90+ to. Dude, it seems like you are one of the few pundates with actual relevant knowledge.
a great vid a good narrating love the two brother great people thanks again big thumbs up
Thanks brother! Happy you enjoyed the documentary!
Great documentary, man! Have been looking for the Klitschko documentary and couldn’t find it bc it was so good and they’ve both had such crazy interesting lives, but this was really great.
Thanks a lot Ashley! Really appreciate you taking your time to watch and comment! Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day!
I would like to see your take on Wladimir.
Would be one I would like to do in the near future for sure! Thanks for the feedback brother!
Absolutely fantastic video. I always loved the Klitschko brothers. The two brothers where never disrespectful or mouthy with regard to the opposition which some boxers could take a lesson from. And after watching this you are 100% correct about Vitali, you never hear his name mentioned in boxing discussions which is bloody outrageous.. He was totally WORLD CLASS...
If you picked on his younger brother Vlad you could only hope he beat you because if you beat him his big brothers gonna feckin kill you....
Thanks so much for taking your time to watch and comment! Really appreciate your feedback! True rolemodels!
Great video !!! Thanks !!!
Thanks for the feedback Joe! Appreciate it brother!
amazing documentary! you are really GOOD
Thanks my friend!
Awesome video! Great storytelling and content. Some eyeopening arguments too. While watching this, time flew by. I hope your 50+ hours felt like that too lol
#TeamUzuk
Thanks brother!
Damn fine video! I always viewed Vitali as one of the best ever. His win over Sam Peters made me think him even better than Wladimir. Ali vs Vitali or Holmes vs Vitali would be a dream match.
Thanks brother! Dream matches indeed.
Thanx for this. You know your stuff. Happy i found Your great channel. Am Feel Am Very Feel… Lets Go Champ ♑️
Thanks brother! Appreciate it! Welcome to Teamuzuk!
I remember watching him beat up Lennox only for the fight to be stopped due to a cut. Vitali would have won that night, I have no doubt.
Same here man! You know your history bro. Nice to have you here!
Hey bro it says your comment exist no longer...weird what seems to be the problem bro?
Agreed. It matters how you perform out of the ring just as much.
Thanks brother! Many people dont understand that as you do!
I like your edits. Fun to watch.
Thanks Brother! Glad you are appreciating my content!
This is the best fight documentary I have ever seen.
Thanks Dennis! I appreciate your feedback brother!
Amazing video. I really enjoyed this… I’m a huge boxing fan and I agree.
Thanks Marcus! Really appreciate it brother!
Thank you for making this video, it was a love letter to your boxing hero; well done! Vitali was terrific in my opinion. I didn't know he was such a gentleman outside the ring, and I love athletes like that, classy and respectful, so I like Vitali even more now, congratulations, another job well done!
Also, I read through the comments and I saw some stuff about Americans; full disclosure, I'm an All-American boy and love my country as much as Vitali loves his (and I very much like that he's a patriot too!). Just know that NOT EVERYBODY in America dislikes him or thinks he wasn't a great fighter. Not saying you did this, just as a general point of information. I think what it mostly is, is you try to put together, say, a Top 10 listing of great heavyweights, and there have been so many you just can't fit them all in! Sometimes I think that happens to Vitali. Or it's just a styles thing, and he doesn't appeal for that reason, that doesn't mean he's a bad fighter or whatever. I like hitters at heavyweight, and Vitali sure could hit!
I mentioned this in another comment here, I have a tough time keeping him out of my personal Top 5! For my money, he's a solid bet as a guy that could possibly beat any other heavyweight on any given night, given his gifts of size, strength, punching power, beard, ring IQ, physical fitness so he doesn't gas out easy, great trainer to set him up for victories, etc. I think he has, historically, maybe the highest likelihood to do that, either defeat anybody else or even if he loses give them fits and bruises, so they know they've been in a fight (see: Lewis bout). And I don't know what higher compliment you can give a boxer than that!
I also didn't know that he so closely mimicked another favorite of mine, the awesome George Foreman. I just looked up Foreman's record before he took 10 years off and lent his crown to all those other guys for awhile lol: 45-2 with 42 KOs for an outstanding 89.36% KO rate. Vitali was 45-2 with 41 KOs for an outstanding 87.23% KO rate. I couldn't believe how closely they matched up: they're boxing brothers from a different mother! No wonder I love both guys so much, they're essentially the same fighter! I was stunned by the similarities in record, amazing warriors, both of them. It also leads me to believe that, if Vitali WERE to mount a comeback, given the thunder in his fists, just like Foreman's thunder in his, he could be successful in his return (though he has his hands full currently battling Russians outside the ring!).
Nobody wins all the time, that's just boxing, but Vitali seemed to give a good accounting of himself, always showed up and gave you a great effort, win or lose. Again, that's a huge compliment to hm and his work ethic! Add to that his patriotism and his being a class act outside the ring... sounds like a real winner to me! Also, thank you for sharing that personal story of watching the Lewis fight with your family; that made it clear how special he was to you as a fan. Thanks again for taking the time and effort to make a great biography of a great fighter. Got you a subscription! Take care, sir.
Vitali.....
The legend...
Klitschko..
🥊🥊🥊👍😊
Amen brother!
*Love the video you made.I also wanted to see Vitali Klitschko vs. Lennox Lewis Rematch , but it never happened.*
Great video! And you made some good points about Vitali's career as well. One thing I think would've made it even better is to spend a little more time on Vitali's victory over Peter. That might've been the most impressive win of his career, considering he hadn't fought in almost four years and was over 37 at the time!
great channel mate
Thanks brother! I really appreciate you taking your time to watch and comment!
A truly exceptional tribute to the great Vitali who was never bested in the ring only inconvenienced by injuries whilst dominating fights.
Lewis was a truly salty dude who could not give credit to opponent's and the greatest examples of this are his bouts against Bruno, Mercer and Vitali, the post fight interviews in these bouts are truly nauseating.
Lewis loved money but wanted no part of the 25 million plus to get smashed about by Dr iron fist again and wisely exited the sport rapid🤣
Thanks brother really appreciate it especially cause it took 50 plus hours to make. But comments like these totally make it worth it. Thanks again for watching and taking your time to comment!
@@uzukboxingbro you're the best, I'm always coming back to this great masterpiece. I could even imagine vitali himself would be proud of this video because the people now shitting on him and what he's doing in politics and forgetting what a real legend he really was before.
Thanks brother made my day! Out of all the people who have watched this so far you get it the most. You understand truly why I made this video.
Dam...rip Corey Sanders.
Warrior he was!
@@uzukboxing Indeed, I had no idea how his life ended, what bravery and love, thank you for sharing that.
I remember watching the fight against Lewis, Vitali was absolutely robbed blind.
This is 100% spot on.
Thanks brother! Appreciate it man!
He really was the best inside and out. Total courage and grace
Yes Vladimir please. Appreciate the hard work. There's not much out there on these guys. I'd like to learn
Again brother thanks a lot for taking your time to watch and comment!
Agreed. Vitali was among the very best.
Amen brother!
Great video.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it brother
excellent vid and SALUTE TO KLITSCHKO BROTHERS.....still fighting
Thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it!
Rip Corrie🇬🇧👊🏼
Legend
Very impressive documentary...
Thank you very much for your positive feedback and taking your time to watch!
No doubt he is tremendously under rated...back in the day I started watching boxing cuz of them brothers...
Great video man! And btw it would be cool if you would make a video about your thoughts about Eddie Hearn!
Thanks brother! Ok noted my friend!
31:04 thanks again for this very well put together video. I'm not sure about what you said at that time I stamped up there. Check out more of Kid Dynamites right hook body, right uppercut head combos, I think he makes a strong case to stake that claim 😁. Either way great video and I'd like to hear about Wladimirs early career!
Very true brother! However Kid Dynamite was under 6 foot tall and weighed 218 poinds. Vitaly is 6 foot 7 and weighed 245 pounds. Thats why I thought it was very special to see someone do that because at his size and weight you dont see many people doing this sort of punch combos. But yes Iron Mike was the best to do this combo for sure. Thanks bro! I really appreciate your feedback.
Omg this jab!
Agree with the title of the video!
Glad to hear it bro
I agree. Vitali was extremely underrated. He was putting a beating on Lennox Lewis before that questionable stoppage. He was very tough and very skilled.
Thanks for your feedback brother!
Yes good fight good decsion
