    it's a shame Brewster had the eye injury. He was a beast.

    They're a bit over rated by some but the fact is that both are ATG boxers. If all the bitches on here think that the HW division is so easy and full of bums why don't they start boxing, most wouldn't last a month in the sport.

    Imagine if the Klitschko's were never born. Today's HW division would be a blurr of title belts being juggled like hot potatoes between everyone else in the top ten :patsch Love em' or hate em' the Klitschko Bros brought stability in the HW division for a decade now. They are heros to their fan base and villians to their competitors. (fans that don't like the Klits sure seem to spend a lot of time writing about them)

    I'ts already etched in history that Klitschko brothers were the best in their era. Over coming adversity in 2002, 2003 to dominate the HW for the next decade.

    That's how it's gonna' read :good:yep

    It's like Calzaghe he cant be an ATG even though he dominated his division for so long his best win is against an old past prime champion just like Vitali's.

    Wlad was not better than Purrity , Sanders and Brewster so logically speaking how can he be the best in his era.
    He never proved he was better than two of them so as it stands now he was the 3rd best fighter of his era.

    Yes it will. In the long run, history never cares what haters/******s said, in the end it all comes down to how long these guys dominated and will be rated/appreciated for it. It's not easy to hold on to the championship for this long and find the motivation for it. Whoever hates them needs to know that if they weren't here the division will have complete no skill jokes disgracing the championship belts in comical physical conditions with zero intentions to unify.

    Wladimir has dominated the division since he beat the two top dogs in Peter and Byrd.
    He has beaten a few decent boxers doing his reign, he has a probable HOFer (Byrd) on his resume and a questionable one (Haye, mainly on CW accomplishments).
    A special fighter who had to make a rally after being destroyed in what should have been his prime, quite a story. He is indeed an ATG, even though the quality of fighters he has faced aren't the best.
    Vitali hasn't beaten any HOF'er or ATGs, he has soundly beaten some good boxers, but not any significant ones. Sanders was a dangerous man and Peter was still a top dog when Vitali destroyed him, but none of them can be rated as elite fighters.
    Vitali is/was a special boxer like his brother(imo he was better than Wlad has ever been back in 03/04, but that is another debate), he is a first ballot HOFer, his injury which forced him into a 4 year lay off probably cost him an ATG spot.

    Well he wasn't even the 3rd best of the pre-2005 era so I think you over estimate wlad somewhat.

    However in the post 2005 era purrity, sanders, Lewis and Brewster weren't really a factor so i think it's safe to say he's been the best of the 05-present era.

    All of the US Klitards are white Americans who claim lineage from some third world ****-hole because their granny once noshed off a toilet cleaner. Fair play to the rest of the Klitards, most of them are actually from those same third world ****-holes.

    Its stupid to keep a fighter who dominates everyone around him for practically his entire prime from being an ATG because he didnt have a chance to fight another great fighter.

    Hes an ATG based on longevity, title defenses, and dominance.

    Beating a great fighter or two isnt the sole criteria to being a boxing great.
