    You've listed 13 names. I personally would rank Wlad above Bowe and Liston, so he would be #12.

    The think the K Brothers fall just outside of the top 15 or top 20 of all time. They are as close to being there as possible, without actually making the cut. I say this only because both brothers have weaknesses that could be exploited by true, all-time great champions such as Louis, Ali, Holmes, Tyson, and Lewis, among others.

    But it would take nothing less than an all-time great to beat the Klitschkos.

    I don't have either in my top 15. I suppose if Wlad keeps dominating for a few more years, he could end up in there.

    He had to resort to the bum of the month club because he absolutely cleaned out the division. Niether Kltischko can say that. In fact neither Klitschko can even say they are the best in the division any given year.

    Didn't Louis beat like the five champions before him and one after??


    That's impressive.

    Wlad is only 33.

    I'd hate to see where you crazy *******s who have him top 15 already place him by the time he retires.

    H2H list I couldn't possibly agree (Vitali is a sure H2H great imo), but the guys resume isn't exactly stellar, not his fault but such is life.

    Berbick> Byrd
    Thomas>Chageav
    Spinks>Chambers
    Ruddock>Peter
    Smith>Ibragimov


    and so you are saying that Wlad is DEFInitely better than Vitali the last three years?

    and you forgot that Tyson was the UNDISPUTED champion, Wlad is a belt holder. A huge diference.

    Its hard to rate them because of the time there in right now ....none of the heavy weight today can sell tickets ..the division is SOUR. Them two might make the list but at the very very bottom.

    Wlad is a top 20 fighter who could become an ATG Top 10 fighter in the next 1 or 2 years. Vitali is too old and had too many injuries, but would beat most of the Top 10 fighters prime 4 prime.

    Looking at it objectively and head to head. Klitschko's opposition is better thatn Tyson's.
