Bob Fitzsimmons vs Vitali Klitschko

[DrDuke]

From what it's possible to see in the history section, people WANT this matchup.

12 rounds, who ya got?

[HomicideHenry]

I figure if 6'2"-6'3" 220 pound Jefferies could stop Fitzsimmons twice that Vitali Klitschko would've done the job inside of five rounds.

vitali vs the 160s pound on fight day battling bob........tees off on him and ref steps in to rescue a bloody bob

total mismatch, it's basically a super heavyweight sized hw champ vs a super welter, it's like starting a tyson fury vs liam smith thread

[goose 5]

You summed it up perfectly.

[emallini]

Bob gets pummelled

[Seamus]

When I first came on here you might have gotten some takers for Bob, especially as Vitali was so hated.

[margaret thatcher]

ya, but did you know that great straw weights have a 1594-0 record against guys 220 and up ?

[gilgamesh]

Vitali KO inside 3 rounds. Size differential too much.

I'll give credit where it's due though, and guarantee you that 'ol Fitzy would give it all he had.

[scorpio83]

Vitali's size and power would overwhelm Fitz as he punished him with jabs and right hands to knock him out in 4 rounds.

I love Bob Fitzsimmons, he is one of the top 15 greatest pound per pound all-time great fighters in my view, but Vitaly Klitschko would be too much for him. How tall is Vitali? 6'7"? And what is his weight? Around 260? No way!
