    Klitschkos are the very best!!!!!!! Bigots hate their guts! The bias is sickening.

    Larry Holmes, but he was shot by then. Michael Spinks was ok, but no ATG.

    Spinks is unquestionably an ATG, but merely a good heavyweight.

    The Klitschkos are great

    the problem is they have no opponents to bring it out

    Vitali brought it out vs Lewis but lost in a great effort that many still argue over today

    He got cut short by injury

    The Klitschkos have been hampered because they are fighting in a transitional era

    Lewis had Holyfield, Tyson, Foreman, Moorer, Mercer, Morrisson, left over 80's holders, Bowe, Golota floating around at his time

    Ali had Liston, Patterson, Quarry, Foreman, Shavers, Norton, Young, Lyle at points of his day

    Marciano had Charles, Walcott Louis and Moore

    Tyson had Holmes Spinks Tubbs Dokes BoneCrusher Tucker floating around

    Wlad and Vitali were the start of a new age all of the Lewis era guys retired or are too ancient to take credit for

    Also at HWT there is no mobility

    its not like WW or MW or LHWT where you lose to the champ and just move up

    to get credentials you need to beat top 10 guys, holders past present and future and future hall of famers

    Now Wlad fights top 10 guys even top 5 usually, Vitali fought Arreola and Gomez (i think) and Peter when they were top 10

    Dont know if we count the WBO if we do Wlad beat Byrd, Mercer, Botha (did he hold a belt ever) Chagaev, Ibragimov, Peter 2X, Brewster, Rahman

    Vitali beat Hide, Sanders, Gomez, Peter, Norris, Briggs

    Hall of fame none id imagine

    Also who ever the brothers beat are done, theyll never have achievments they beat you take your 0 and then you never get a rematch so you cant get a belt they beat good opponents who probably could be belt holders thus criteria for the bros but the bros and Haye are holding the belts

    They start a new era they clean it out they cant get much credentials from guys who never will win titles

    they can clean out a new era of guys like Wilder Puleev, Ustinov, and so on
