Vitali Klitschko one of the most underrated heavyweights of all time?

Vitali is a joke, his claim to fame is getting his face ripped open like a vag by Lewis. A 37 year old, past his prime Lewis that was fighting once a year and took the fight in a few weeks notice. Although Vitali also took the fight on short notice he admitted that he'd been prepairing for a fight with Lewis for over a year already.

Vitali's best wins are:

Chisora-Lost to Fury, a guy down against blown up feather fisted cunningham, got KTFO against Haye with ease.

Adamek-AKA Chad Dawson's leftovers, a blown up LHW.

Sanders-KO'd by Rahman, Tubbs. He fought Vitali around age 40 after coming out of retirement as a pro golfer, he actually managed to rock Vitali badly and punched himself out within just 2 rounds. He had a beer gut and was grossly out of shape, had he been in shape he wins by KO.

Lets face it, Euros suck at boxing. The only divisions they're any good in are HW and Cruiser, the two worst, cruiser a division where Tarver/Green were both top fighters (lmfao) and HW where top 10 HW's get KTFO by guys like Haye.

Btw, Vitali promised Haye a fight if he beat Chisora, Haye did and Quitali ducked him like the plague.

He is no doubt a very good champion, but his lack of worthy opponents (which isn't his fault at all), really makes it hard to rank him amongst the other Heavyweight greats who fought legends.

The greatest fighter Vitali fought was Lennox Lewis, a fight in which he lost.

the simply truth is that both vitali and wlad are completely underrated by americans ,i don't know why but they are vitali is an easy top 10 heavy weight no fighter under 210 pounds would have a chance vs him including guys like joe louis ,marciano,liston .

vitali was whopping lennox lewis till he got cut and lewis then retied so he wouldn't have to fight vitali again .

Lets put it this way:

If he had fought Ali,Ali wouldn't be just punch drunk today he would be happily deceased. Lewis was going to be knocked out and he got lucky and the fight was stopped buy a cut. Lewis won the fight but after the beating he took he seen the future of the heavyweight division and he wanted no part of it. He quickly retired after his fight with Vital and no amount of money offered him to fight Vitali again could bring him out of retirement.

Future american boxing hopefuls pulled their tails between their legs and became professional football players instead. lol....

When Chris Arreola is the best fighter you've ever faced your not getting a stop on my Top Ten list.

Top 100 all time, the Klitschko's are extremely over rated historically, and in truth not all that great historically.

Definitely top ten in my book.

Please. He fought one good fighter and got hammered (Lewis) and quit vs a 191 pound blown up middleweight (byrd) other then that he has done nothing of note.

Could almost say the same about his brother.

Where would you rate Vitali as a all time heavyweight? He never ducked anyone has never been knocked down and has the highest knockout percentage of all heavyweights of all time. Also at a advance age still performs well. I would put him in the top ten what does everyone else think? Thanks in advance for answering my question.
