    Ye I appreciate the concept of brothers holding the belts because it has been their lifelong ambition.

    But combining the records to demonstrate dominance is silly especially when vitali took 4 years off boxing.

    I counted 3 or 4 times and it seems to me Lewis had 13 defenses. 2 + 9 + 2 = 13.

    Wlad Klitschko is the only heavyweight in history to unify the WBO title therefore pretending to give it some kind of merit

    Lets be honest every other heavyweight dumped the WBO before going for a real title , and in that time as well as the time Wlad first held it , it was not considered a major title and not part of the undisputed collection of belts in fact it still isnt unless the owner is some kinda linear champ as well

    You just cant go calling Wlad a champ back then in his 1st WBO rein (note not now),
    because Lennox Lewis was the undisputed champ

    guys.. stop trying to big your boy klitschko up.. he's not that good. he's feasting on a weak era as he should be. sorry to disappoint you crazy fans. compared to the GREAT heavyweights he's quite average. yeah, he has a lot of defenses. most of them are against horrible opposition. it's the truth.:yep

    The same could be said for every single US poster that grasps onto an undying loyalty to their ethnic make-up or state of birth and the fighters from either or both of mentioned attributes.

    What makes you a ****ed up ****** is your inability to ignore those people who don't keep a level headed approach to the issue.

    Maybe it makes me a ****** for responding? You made the thing a nationalist issue like a small minded fool. I gave you both barrells. Yippee ki-yay.

    I agree, 90% of brits are purest idiots and I'm not just talking about posters here .I lived in London for a few years and,I honestly think that tremendously huge % of UK population are toothless eurotrash rednecks.

    What the hell is up with the Klits holding onto any statistic that favours them and with the nature of boxing are irrelevant to begin with

    Until recently Vitali was by his request being announced as the HW champ with most KO percentage before he fights

    They wont use that anymore now that Hayes is more LOL

    No, you are quite correct when you say I should ignore it. I even have an oh-so clever acronym for my behaviour when I don't ignore it. I call it I.D.I.O.T.I.C. I Debate Idiots On The Internet Constantly.
    I am an idiot for not being able to ignore it - although I use my ignore list quite extensively.

    I have also noticed those other posters you have mentioned; it is particularly noticeable in the Floyd versus Pac threads. However, as a group, the UK posters have the biggest share of god-awful posters.

    A few Brits have responded, reflexively, the "the US posters do it to" and I think I should point out that I am not from the US. I am from Australia. Speaking from a neutral ground, the Brit posters have a much, much, much higher percentage of bad posters. At least on the General Forum. If you go on to the Lounge (which I don't bother doing anymore) then the opposite is true. The US posters are a ****ing embarrassment to themselves.

    Have I ever been embarrassed by Australian posters? Have I ever felt that they were disproportionatley ******ed? Sure. A few years ago there were a lot of them riding on the Mundine bandwagon. However, they mostly kept to the Australian forum and did not **** up the General forum too badly. And I sure as **** told them how ****ed int he head they were, I did not stand up for them, and if anyone complained about how bad the Australian posters were I agreed, because, on the whole, they were correct.

    Wlad is still active and dominant fighter. Barring injuries he is likely to surpass Ali & Holmes in most title defenses.

    I think he got made champ when bowe refused to fight him, so that counts as a defence not a challenge.

    If you count his rein as WBO title holder while an already UNDISPUTED CHAMP was around the yes:patsch

    I guess he disputes it :lol:

    the fact is that 4 men could all break ALIs record of title defenses at the same time without ever facing each other today

    thats why this statistic is a joke !!! :good:good

    I just made a boxing organisation, the international rushman boxing championship. I have granted you the world title. Well done, you are now the IRBC heavyweight champ.

    BTW, this championship is retrospective. You have won your last 45 bouts by forfeit. That's an incredible 15 year reign at the top.

    Sure, there might have been other champions around at that time, but so what? Sure, this title may not be the most prestigious, or even involve any actual fighting, but so what?
    It's a world title, you have had it 45 times. That's a damn record, and I expect the OP to start making threads about it!
