    Frazier beat 1971 Ali. Holyfield beat the 1992 Bowe.

    Foreman beat 1973 Joe Frazier and regained the title in 1995.


    What can Wladimir Klitschko do to be ranked higher than those guys in ATG rankings?

    just keep fighting and make records and hope those fights give him the respect to back him up over them. It will be hard. Those guys have big legacies from many great fights, something Vlad lacks. I would say keep the defenses going and make some records. Title defenses ect. I am not sure it will get him over them. Virgil Hill has 25 or so defenses at 175, and people tend to not give him respect, but Vlad has more publicity with his fights than Virgil Hill did his.

    At least five more title defenses, possibly even ten, with all being by kO/TKO or an odd dominant decision.

    He can never top Tony TUcker's achievements.

    Tony Tucker took Tyson the distance with one hand, and knocked out Buster Douglas. Buster Douglas knocked out a great, can Wlad claim he did that?

    He can't. None of those guys got one-punch ko'd by mid level fighters. They also laid it all on the line every time out. If any of those guys had Wlad's physical advantages they would have KTFO opponents inside of 4 rounds.

    Foreman beat 4-15 Terry Sorrell to earn his shot at Frazier and the title. Wlad would never have made it to a title shot in the 70's.
