    Life is too short to waste on reading crap from crap posters. You won't regret it.

    We agree on that subject then. I don't think there was any foul play but Wladimir clearly wasn't all there and he proved so in the rematch.

    Sanders hurt a knee in training & he couldn't do his roadwork. He had Rahman in trouble early & he tried to finish him but ended up gassing out & getting stopped himself later in the fight.

    I almost forgot about Brew's KO of Krasniqi. That was a sensational KO in a fight he was losing on the cards.

    Do you know what KTFO means? Have you watched the Rahman-Sanders fight? Try watching the fight instead of going to box rec next time...

    Charles, Patterson, Schmeling & Walcott shouldn't rank higher than Wladimir Klitschko :nono An argument could be made that Liston, Johnson & Jeffries are below Klitschko as well. I admit I don't know enough about Harry Wills to rank him.

    You know I was going to say e isnt top 20 but then I started writing out a list ( like yours ) and lo and behold I couldnt come up with more than 15 or so guys I had higher than him , so I guess for me he is top 20.

    there was a good point made earlier about VKs title fight record , there is **** all to it , yet he is held up like some kind of all conquering monster. When he hasnt actually fought anyone good other than the loss to Lewis.

    It just shows how hard it is to really judge legacy
