POWER CHIN SPEED SKILL STAMINA HEART FOCUS

Vitali Klitschko is a powerful Ukrainian fighter who is trying, along with his brother Wladimir, to work his way through the ranks in the weak Heavyweight division and get a world title shot.  Klitschko will most likely never live down the fact that he quit in the 10th round against Chris Byrd while leading on all scorecards, but he felt he was in too much pain from his hurt shoulder.  Klitschko does have good power, but is very methodical and does not have very fast hands or feet.  He will get the big shot of trying to prove himself in a title shot against Lennox Lewis sometime in 2003.
