By analyzing numbers, he is definitely a top10 HW. Toe-to-toe, he is usually well regarded and arguably top10. To me, he is #6 or #7 ATG at HW....
The key is in the way he performed on the last rounds of their fight.
Hope there is a rematch.
He looked horrible. Actually both fighters looked horrible, but Wlad a bit more.
**** performance from both. Two big guys never deliver a good fight
Could have been a draw.
5-5
2nd most dominant heavyweight after Joe Louis. Arguably more dominant, because he barely lost rounds in 11 years.
Its a raw fact. However, its really 19. Larry Holmes also has 19 (the fight against Marvis Frazier wasn't an official title defense).
:rofl
Vitali, but Povetkin is getting close. In an actual fight, Vitali destroys him.
He is an ATG, no matter what happens in his next fight. But he isn't the GOAT. 1. Ali 2. Louis 3. Its close between Lennox, Wlad and Holmes.
Amazing longevity. Ali and Louis were **** after 19 years.
Top5. Below Ali and Louis. Near Lewis, Wlad and Foreman. Above Marciano and Frazier.
Wilder will fight a voluntary defense in January. Then Povetkin in April or May. OR the sanctioning bodies could accept to allow unification...
