Wladimir Klitschko is not (and never shall be) a Top 10 Heavyweight

Dodge Valuev? Seriously. Do you forget or are you new to the sport?

Valuev was a KING fighter. The K2 singlehandedly did what no other promoters or fighters could do....they ridded HW boxing of DK forever.

Both Wlad and Vitali wanted to fight ALL his fighters, but DK would not allow them to fight his guys without options. And like 2-3 fight options as well, not just rematch clauses. Anyways, until the K2 owned the belts, DK hid his fighters from them. It took guys like Liakovich sneaking a belt and Chagaev getting his for the K2 to get them. Once they got em......it was OVAAAA for King.deal

Dont think the K2, Wlad or Vitali did not want a prime undefeated Valuev KO win on their resume. They both wanted it, DK refuse it. They also wanted Ruiz, Tyson, Liakovich and a better version of Briggs. They got who they got and DK got squat for his efforts to hide them. Hell, Valuev never made money in a fight. Had he got a K2, he'd have doubled the best DK did for him.:rofl

 

I'm not a big fan of Wlad. The guy is boring and lacks any sort of inside game, but he's been dominating the division for YEARS now. The fact that he as done so with a self professed glass chin makes it even more impressive considering one punch up at HW can end it all. The pathetic state of the division is not his fault and therefore that can't be held against him when judging his stance in the historical rankings.

 

Would you call an overhook with your right to immobilize your opponent's arm and a collar tie with your left arm that you use to manipulate your opponent's balance and then punching short left hooks and uppercuts a lack of an inside game? It's funny when somebody who doesn't even know how to wrap hands tries to assess a boxer's skill level. Like InHumanForm, they have no idea what they are talking about.

BTW, watch Klitschko's fights with Monte Barrett and Derrick Jefferson then tell me how he lacks an inside game.

 

Jefferson is/was ****ing awful.

 

Yes, Wlad achieved more than half of the guys in that list. Deal with it.

 

Name which ones or GTFO

 

Kidding me - of course he is an ATG.

 

:deal

:good

 

It bugs me when knowledgable posters troll.
