After the Fury loss I am certain Wlad will not be regarded as favourably in 20 years

    Well...some nice comments in here! The designer, though...."don't make sense"/& is personal only the comment that Wlad. woulda lost vs Fury before too.
    Tyson Fury we know VERY VERY LITTLE ABOUT and likely has a RUN similar to Tony Tubbs [as far as how LONG he will SIT in the thrown. I think Tubbs would of taken 'W' there, though!].
    Don't count WKlitschko out yet, for the rematch.
    And, for all we know WK may of been injured going in. Fury "predicted" such..Wlad in such case would "hide" truth and it wouldn't surface until after he vindicated himself at their second.
    For "foul mouthed" Fury Tyson it's ALL OPEN ROAD AHEAD. But....he hasn't YET proven very much [other than we have gotten "good glimpse" of his HOOD Style character]
    [Society going "down", basically..with champs like him serving as roll models. As a FIGHTER, "time will
    Tell". I don't YET wish him ANY LUCK!]

    Some idiot said Wlad ain't great because he never beat a HOFer. I showed the logic is flawed. Beating a HOF doesn't make you great. It is a potential, but not a necessary and certainly not a binding criteria.

    Good point. Fury is good infighting with 6"0 guys he outweights by 75 lbs. Not vs. tall guys.

    lol I think I was that idiot. Does dominating an era of mediocre boxers make you great then? If not, what makes Klitschko "great". I never have understood that. I find his fights painful to watch.

    Like I said greats don't surrender their titles with a whimper.

    Two times you was asked to produce the fight where Wlad displayed the skills of a top 10 ATG. Two times you failed to answer the call.

    Fury was injured during the fight and still won. Wlad would never enter the ring harbouring an injury.

    He shut down Wlads clinch game and moved him around at will. Wlads response was a desperate head butt out of frustration.

    60 plus fights and he had nothing to offer whatsoever inside the wheel house - against a relative novice to make matters worse.

    Still - Top 10 ATG:rofl:nut

    Wladimir Klitschko is an ATG by default. Regardless of his competition. I don't think anyone has completely dominated heavyweight boxing like he had.

    Mike Tyson fans want to talk about him being past his prime in his early 20s just because he left his trainer. Hell, you can make the same case for Wlad and Manny Steward. Steward made Wlad so dominant. He's not the same without him in his corner.

    Add to the fact that the guy is 39 years of age. Tyson Fury was faster than Wlad.

    Let me know who you put in at positions 8, 9 and 10 and explain to me how these three fighters HW career was more meaningful and impressive than Wlad's in its entirety.

    Wlad was very fast when prime, one of the fastest guys for his size and weight ever, but father time is a great leveler. I agree about Steward.

    You clowns were saying his left hook was unblockable just two fights prior when he levelled Pulev.

    Didn't you say Wlad would weasel out of taking that fight?

    Who did you pick to win that one, anyway?
