    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.

    So what? Vluev had 48 fights with 47 votes. Its not the number of fights, but the quality of them.

    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.

    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.
