atschWell this is pro boxing not the amateurs. If you have to use a fighters amateur career to defend their ATG status then you know there is something wrong.
Since when have the majority ever been right in boxing? The majority thought Pacquiao was going to knock Mayweather's head off but did that happen? Hell no! What skills makes Wlad an ATG? His great left hook, jab, and cross? It takes more than a good punch to become an ATG. Nobody has said anything about his chin except you.
1) You're right about the Pacquiao thing. That was an easy call for people that understand boxing. 2) Wlad has other skills/talents besides the punch variety. His defense is great (barely gets hit clean and doesn't get hit often). He has overcome being knocked down and won (Peter 1). He has mastered the distance where he can get his shots off and his opponents try to attack they are out of range. 3) His chin is the most talked about weakness (even though he has the record for longest reigning champ to not get knocked down).
All of the fighters kiltschko has beaten and the ones he has been knocked out by would not live with the the fighters I mentioned plus many others .would fury get a title shot v any of those guys he would be knocked out at British level by Bruno or Mason .being champ and having a long winning run is all well and good but who has he fought none of the fighters on his list have beaten anyone of note or were well past their best when they fought Vlad.where is the quality of opposition. Not vlads fault all he beat is what's put in front of him.and most of that was second or third rate.
Huh??? Wald not an ATG? So which heavyweight in the last 15 years should be considered an all time great?? Name him!!
Not playing the race card but let me guess you are not white... All your negative posts are against anyone not black:tong
He's just an AA troll. Wladimir is an ATG because he has been the best overall boxer in the world for over a decade. It should be pretty obvious why he is an ATG. When I say overall, I obviously don't mean P4P. I mean he would beat any boxer in the world H2H for over a decade. That's a pretty heavy thought.
I can do better than that. You are white and will do any kind of scam, hook or crook to inject an inferior talented white into the historic ATG HW list which currently has none, but of course, you aren't playing the race card. :yep The large ratio of those who DKSAB on this site is amazing! Scampers and Marshmallow troll spectators in abundance.
He's only great. He had a chance to be an atg. He lost out on that when he lost to Purrity, Sanders and Brewster all by ko.
Plenty of all time greats have lost to even worse opposition.... Bad losses don't always take away from greatness. Just look at Pac, ATG with even worse losses during the early part of his career. There are other examples, but that's another good recent one. Ruling your division with an iron fist for a decade makes up for a few bad losses.
Because he has the second most successful title defenses of the Heavyweight crown. Second only to Joe Louis
