Is Wladimir Klitschko a top 10 HW of all time? - Please remember to vote

A very good list man ive got Wlad at 11 but are list except for Johnson is close

 

add this to the poll options please

D. Outside the top 50.

 

:rofl atsch :bbb :bart

Please inform us of who these 50 HW's are that are greater than Wlad.....troll

 

Read all of the reasons.

Regardless. Douglas >>>>>>>>>>Brewster and the first scrub that ko'd wlad. Douglas is >> than Sanders.

Mccall and rahman >>>>>>>> than Brewster and the first scrub the ko'd Wlad. Mccall and Rahman= Sanders.


The reason were not to be taken seperately but as an aggregate for why Wlad is not in the top ten. The most defining reason he has no defining wins.

Great post. Could you imagine a Tyson Holyfield regime???

I got a feeling ALOT of ALTS voted in this one.

 

Lower edges of the top 10 for me. Don't know how anyone could keep him out of the top 15-20 regardless of the criteria.

He'll surpass Holmes by the time it's said and done.

 

Regardless of who is he fighthing, he hasnt lost in like 8 years. Dominated every opponent, I guess except Haye, but he still clearly won. If he fights another few years and doesn't lose then yes.

 

Yes he is.

After he retired he maybe Top 5.

 

Which good wins does he have? Remind us.

 

Wlad is #35-45. No where near top 20.

 

Holmes was better though.

 

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Lennox Lewis
4. Rocky Marciano
5. George Foreman
6. Jack Dempsey
7. Mike Tyson
8. Jack Johnson

10. Evander Holyfield

14. Bob Fitzsimmons MW LHW & HW champion.

18. Riddick Bowe- Undisputed, beat everyone he faced
19. Vitali Klitschko- 2nd highest KO ratio ever
20. Jeff Jeffries- Beat half the ATGs that existed in boxing.

I can go on if youd like...

21. Harry Wills -went 40 fights mid-career without being beaten

Thats my top 20. I think it could matter on the day of the month on how I'd order the top 4, but I don't think Holmes could match any of the boxers I put in the top 4. Wlad and Holmes both dominated for long periods without having a career defining win. It was tough with Rocky and Frazier, but I think Rocky's long reign as HW and that he went out undefeated puts him about Frazier. Frazier may have lost to Foreman, but he did defeat Ali, which Foreman couldn't.

Evander probably has the best comp of all the boxers up there, but he didn't win them all and came up short a many times. Vitali's biggest fight he lost, but put up a good showing and made everyone wonder what would happen if he didn't get cut. After words he's put up a decent reign.

Liston seemed to be an unstoppable force until he ran into Ali. Dempsy had a nice career, but was rather inactive during his HW reign and was more interested in movies. Jefferies retired undefeated, but against poor comp overall save Sharkey and Fitzsimmons and then he came back after not fighting for 6 years to fight Johnson, which was quite dumb and arrogant.

Bowe fought and beat a decent number of good HW and had a good war with Holyfield. However, he ducked out to soon once he started to fight top 10 opponents and missed out. Patterson fought decent comp and had a decent reign but couldn't beat Liston or the up and coming Ali. Won 2/3 with Johansson.

Tunney could have a much higher ranking. Beat Dempsey 2x and then defended the title 1 more time and retired. Walcott is known for his 4 fight war with Ezzard Charles where he won 2 and lost 2. Gave Joe Lewis a good a close fight that ended in SD in 47 but lost the rematch by KO and was KO'd 2x by Rocky.

Jack Johnson had a decently long reign, but his opposition was subpar. His best win was against a 6 year retired Jeffries. Ezzard Charles beat an old Louis and beat Walcott 2x while losing 2. Came really close to beating Rocky on cuts before being stopped himself.

Well there is my analysis of the top 20.
