    Jesus H. Christ, is the Pope Catholic???

    That such a question would even be asked shows how little some modern boxing fans know about the sport. Wlad isn't just an ATG, he's a No Doubt About it ATG.

    It requires far more mental gymnastics to make the argument that Wlad isn’t an ATG than it is to argue his rank as a top 5 all-time HW.

    Opinions may differ as to where to rank him... but he is definitely an ATG.

    ATG? Well he did win the heavyweight title professionally twice, defended it successfully for almost a decade and won an Olympic gold medal while still a teenager. Combining his professional and amateur record together he would have a total record of 198 wins against 11 losses, so he won approximately 95% of his fights. Pretty decent argument he's an ATG.

    Yes. No real arguments against it that aren't some serious leaps of judgement.

    Yes, he is an ATG. But I don't like his style of fighting. It's so boring.
