Are the Klitschko Bros ATGs?

I think most people dont rate them atg, I do believe vitali has atg skill and if wlad can continue his run he will have a chance of being named one. Definitely hof though.

 

I would say no.

Wlad definitely has a shot at pushing his name towards it...I think Vitali hasn't got enough time left.

There is no greats around at the minute for either to prove themselves, but dominating a division (weak or not)...and accumulating defense after defense, mandatory after mandatory is rewarded by some people.

 

No & No.

No 'great' wins & losses to poor opposition. Though they do live in a poor era it must be said.

 

He obviously means where he quit due to a shoulder injury.

 

Embarassing losses alone aren't enough to tarnish a legacy (a lot of fighters have them on their record), but the Klits have never avenged ANY of those losses themselves nor beat anyone of any real note. Their only eligibility as ATGs is estimated on fictional match-ups based on skills displayed against sub-par opponents and in Vit's case a LOSS against a past-it ATG. You can argue that it's not their fault they have no worthy opposition, but there's lots of other reasons they'll never be considered great, including those unavenged losses.

Real ATG's displayed those skills against world-class fighters in real match-ups. No comparison.

 

Wlad it ATG Top 10, maybe when he retires Top 5.

 

Hard to judge when they're still active. The question is really if they can both retire without further losses. That will make or break their ATG worthiness.

 

Yes, both

 

When they both retire and there will be only Holyfield and few fat Americans getting beat up by Russians than a lot more people will start to consider them to be ATG. Obviously there will be some haters and some with grass was greener back than syndrome saying now way but I think Klitchko brothers will get a lot more respect after they retire.

 

Wlad top 15
Vitali probably not due to weak resume

 

Neither have a great resume and i don't think wlads will improve with chisora on it instead of haye.

Vitali has got be top 20 for his long lay off and to come back and ***** slap sam peter in his return. Ok its only sam peter but still was impressive after such a long lay off.

Wlad has time on his side but i can't see any match ups except haye that will proppell him further up the ladder. He needs to at least wait until his brother is beat or retires and unify the division in my book. That means wbc,wba and ibf champion not wbo or ibo atsch

 

-Again, at classic most of us aren't too big on the bros but we still ended up putting Wlad in the top 20. Too successful with more quality wins than some are willing to admit.

-Vitali was a late starter who lost too much time too injuries.

 

For what did he unify the all 3 major belts atsch did he beat any great challengers, seriously talk about overating him.
