    Klitschkos are the best heavyweights in boxing history!!!!!!! Vitali has the highest knockout percentage of any heavyweight champion in boxing history and Vlad is not far behind. They are always in shape, don't take drugs, do not dring alcohol, eat well, etc. Their skills are the best and would have knocked Joe Louis out in his prime period. Klitschkos are not only big, intelligent, in shape, they have skills. The hate for them is mainly because because they are European and always has been. Prejudice has a way of making people blind.............

    Tony got his running in though, he didn't tire out like the guys today.Plus that was his build he was a thick ****er, he didn't have the genetics to be thin with broad shoulders. Just look at Tonys legs and arms his wrists are about the same size as his forearms you can see in some pics and i bet there isn't a 32 inch waist hiding below the belt of his trunks either probably not much fat there, just a generally big guy on a short frame.
    George Foreman is another example he's fat but he was fitter at that weight than most guys around today.

    76 wins and 23 losses. Five foot nine. Yeah, he'd be champ today! :lol:

    He did after all drop the great Joe Louis!

    I highly doubt it but even if he was he was a ****ing bum like most of Louis' opponents.

    This era isn't bad at all. More anti-Klitschko bull****. Watxch the eta get dramatically better when they retire. Even when the rest of the fighters are all the same.

    Its a bad era (post Lewis)

    The top2 guys wont ever fight each other, the contenders wont fight each other & the overall standards of the division are poor.

    The HWs simply don't deliver quality fights on a regular basis, there have only been 2 very good HW fights (Liakovich-Brewster & Povetkin-Huck) in the last 10 years.

    They're bums because Louis made them look like bums.

    This is an average but improving era. 10 years ago it was weaker than now. 20 years ago it was stronger. There have been several eras weaker than this one. People need to get a clue and think for themselves.

    Yeah right, fat short guys with 23 losses are not bums. :lol:

    The same non-logic can be applied to Klitschko's opponents. Louis' actual title reign wad over weaker opponents for the most part. Generally his opposition was better on the way up to being champ.

    He was a better fighter than his physique suggested, but in NO era would he be near good enough to be champion. He did not have the skillset or the endurance.

    Wladimir couldn't KO Chambers who stood right in front of him all night until round 12. He couldn't bait Haye into a fight. Bigger? Yes Smarter? No

    fat short guys?? Galento? He wouldn't be a fighter today he would be banned from boxing for knee,biting,eye gouging etc
