    ...Beats Tyson Fury in his next fight, then beats Deontay Wilder in Vegas, and then finally beats Anthony Joshua in Wembley stadium in front of 80,000, as his last bout before retiring, will Wladimir Klitschko go down as one the ATG HW's or is he already an ATG? and if he beats them 3 will go into like the top 10 HW's of all time? where would you rank him.

    Fury, Wilder and Joshua right now don't have the standing to change anything on Wlad's ATG status. They're all no-namers with little pedigree. Of course, this can change over time. One or two of them can maybe be a top fighter in the post Wlad period and then wins over them raise Wlad's stock.

    A win over Joshua would put him on the same level as Ali.

    No. All-time greats beat other great fighters. They don't just stick around a long time beating bums.

    Wins over Fury, Wilder, Joshua means he completely cleaned out the division. He can get nothing but respect following that route.

    He won't be an ATG until he beats the Dong and coaches a season of the Ultimate Fighter across from Shannon Briggs.

    The Fury win is the most credible of the 3. Even so, none of them have really made huge moves in the HW division themselves. They have what like 3 collective wins against top 10 fighters between them?
