Wladimir Klitschko has passed Sullivan to become the 4th longest-reigning HW champion

This is length, but what about title defenses and all that?

 

He never fought "The Black Prince" Peter Jackson either. The great former Australian Heavyweight champion would have likely ended the reign of "The Boston Strong Boy". Sullivan opted to draw "the color line".

For those of you who don't know, Peter Jackson once fought "Gentleman" Jim Corbett to a 61 round no-contest! That's right, 61 rounds! The referee decided to call it a no-decision because the two fighters had basically fought to a stand still.

 

Ok, allow me to ask again; Exactly WHEN did Wlad become the HW Champion?

 

:rofl He's so tall he should be ashamed of himself.

 

2nd Bryd fight.

 

He's in 3rd right now, with 13. Which are the fights from Calvin Brock to Wach.

 

Dempsey, 7 years and change with 5 title defenses. Baaa. That is awful.

 

I like Vitali. Hard for me to get too excited about a longevity record when he's barely active.

 

Means very little with the record padding involved such as this weekends cash in

 

People ***** about wlad but god damn who did Larry Holmes beat?

 

Ever check out some of the lame title defenses of Larry Holmes or Joe Louis? Every single HW champion in history has had some softer defenses, don't kid yourself.

 

Precisely :deal

 

Wlad is also about to surpass Muhammad Ali's record of "most clinches in a HW bout, without a points deduction."

Impressive!

 

sure they have some. But this is the 4th in a row.

 

as muhammad ali once said, anyone that goes 50,60 rounds cant be very good where they cant even hurt each other
