I would disagree with this. It's hard to determine how good a fighter is unless we look at their achievements. I'm not talking about what alphabet soup titles they held but who they faced, and more importantly, who they beat. It's no coincidence that the "best" fighters generally have the most notable achievments to their names. If people want to make a case for the Klitschkos based on what they nearly, or might have achieved, that's fine, but for me it's actual achievments that count.
Here we go again. Vitali was a monster, to which Wlad cannot be compared. Vitali in the ring with Lennox, is someone that Wlad will probably never reach.
In terms of accomplishments 1.Holyfield 2.Lewis 3.Tyson 4.Vlad 5.Vitali Head to Head imo 1.Lewis 2. Tyson 3.Vitali 4.Vlad 5. Holyfield Crazy aint it:yep
If Wlad retired today, he will go down in history as a pretty good heavyweight who didn't actually amount to much. People seem to be elevating him to a far higher status than he deserves, all based on the fact that his career is still alive, and what he might go on to achieve. If Wlad had faced Lewis that night instead of Vitali, Wlad would have been all finshed inside 3 rounds.
prime for prime head to head? accomplishments? accomplishments: lewis holy very close second tyson close third vitaly (great showing vs lewis this fight alone might put him ahead of his brother whom has beaten......) wlad prime for prime? tyson best chance to beat all in his prime lewis very very close second vitaly/holy tie wlad most vulnerable b/c of chin only
HEAD TO HEAD 1. Lennox Lewis 2. Evander Holyfield 3. Mike Tyson 4. Vitali Klitschko 5. Wladimir Klitschko Accomplishment wise, I think Wladimir is ahead of his brother
