    Wladimir has a higher KO percentage than Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Evander Holyfield, Michael Moorer, George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, ect...

    Just figured maybe you guys needed a little dose of reality. Now... by all means go back to explaining how Wlad doesn't know how to get his opponents out of there. Especially like those other great champions.

    Not hard to do when you outweigh your opponents by 30 pounds on average.

    King Ipitan once had the best Ko percentage in heavyweight history too.

    That really doesn't say much.

    -Wlad Klitschko has been dominant for more time than Frazier, Foreman, Marciano, Liston, Holyfield, Tyson, etc. He's next objectives should be Lennox Lewis and Larry Holmes.

    -Wlad Klitschko was involved in just two decisions during the whole 2001-2010 decade. I think that, at heavyweight, only Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis can compete with him in that area.

    -Wlad Klitschko has more title fights than Holyfield, Tyson, Foreman, Marciano, etc.


    (For those who always bring the quality of opposition argument, this heavyweight generation is just as solid or more solid than the 50s and 80s.)

    It says A LOT when you are the heavyweight Champion and are consistently cleaning out all of the top contenders fight after fight. Unless you are one of the absolute morons who actually believe that the entire world's collection of heavyweights just forgot how to box somehow nowadays.:nut The absurdity of that theory is nothing short of amazing. If the Klitschkos weren't around right now... people would be talking about how awesome the heavyweight division is because there would be so many good fighters on the same level providing back and forth fights. Just because Wladimir Klitschko is on a level all by himself doesn't mean that the rest of the World sucks. That is some seriously ******ed logic.

    That being said... NONE of that **** even matters. The reality is that everyone just loves talking about how Wlad has such problems getting his opponents out of there. How Wlad doesn't know how to finish fights, ect... THAT IS BASED OFF OF THE FIGHTS THAT HE HAS HAD OBVIOUSLY.... yet the reality is that he has a higher KO percentage than all of those that I mentioned.

    I love how none of the haters can stay on one topic. As soon as reality is tossed in a haters face, they love to bend the conversation into something else.

    Hater - Wlad sucks.... he doesn't know how to finish fights.

    Boxing fan - He has been knocking everyone out. Only two of his victims in almost a decade have made it the distance with him. One being an undefeated Top Contender and the other being an Undefeated Heavyweight Champion. Both fights Wlad dominated.

    Hater - But he can't finish fights like the greats did.

    Boxing fan - But he has a higher KO% than (insert the list I provided)...

    Hater - Yeah... but he hasn't fought anybody.

    Boxing fan - :huh

    I like your taste in music, BUT, this era of heavies don't stand up to the guys from the 50's. Back then, they didn't have bling and twitter, they were tough and mean. You're mad

    Abso****inglutely.

    (I'm going to boxrec this crap, if you want to try and use facts and figures)

    Wlads 33rd professional fight was against Pea Wolfgramm
    His 34th was against David Bostice.

    They were about the highest standard he'd fought to by that stage.

    Comparitively (33rd and 34th fight):

    Lewis: Golota and Briggs (after fighting for teh WBC title for the first time in his 23rd fight)

    Tyson: Defending his belts against Holmes and Tubbs (won the title in his 28th fight)

    Bowe: Dokes and Ferguson (just after fighting and beating Holy for the undisputed title

    Holy: Mercer and Bowe 2. After being undisputed cruiser champ, fighting Bowe, Douglas Foreman already.

    Won't bother looking any furhter, I think I've made my point.

    So, at a point in his career where Wlad was still fighting and KO'ing Level C fighters (and being stopped by one), all of those 4 had already won a world title, and been fighting at the very top level of the heavyweight division for some time.

    Do you think that explains it a little?

    Marco Antonio Rubio has the same KO ratio as Marvin Haglar, so I guess he must be just as good as Marvin, right?:patsch
