    Wlad will easily be listed among the 10-15 best HWs of all time by professional boxing historians. Hands down.

    Top 10. I think as his career matures in people's minds, it will be top 5.

    ahem, Brewster when he was blind retired. Never otherwise, not a chance.

    Fury? no, no. clarification mate - not imaginary Wlad, real life Wlad.

    Are you saying he didn't rematch Brewster?

    Are you saying that he didn't try his level best to rematch Fury and ended up wasting a year of his life doing so?

    People will come round to him in time like they have Lennox Lewis.

    For me he's about 10th of all time at heavyweight. He is definitely an ATG, whether you like him or not.

    I guess not everyone agrees with the thread statement. Here are reasons provided for considering him an ATG.

    You may want to recheck the meaning of "always":

    It doesn't mean what you think it means.

    He should have abducted Fury at gunpoint and forced him into an underground bare knuckle brawl over pits of flaming lava, then :rolleyes:

    he didnt rematch the same guys. He rematched oneonce he was retired halfblind, I guess that counts as a valid return for you ALWAYS. NEVER for anyone else.

    I'm not sure what you are asking, but I will try to clarify.

    Klistchko never ducked anyone. Between 2000 and 2014 he fought just about every good heavyweight there was.

    Ali never ducked anyone. Between 1964 and 1978 he fought just about every good heavyweight there was.

    Holyfield never ducked anyone. Between 1988 and 2000 he fought just about every good heavyweight there was.

    The other truly great heavyweight while Klistcko reigned was... Klistchko. Lennox Lewis was done in 2003. So he fought tough guys...

    Peter
    Sanders
    Rachman
    Byrd
    Ibramigov
    etc..etc..
