    Big difference in losing to Ali and Douglas than there is against Sanders and Purrity.

    Obviously Klitschko's reign is superior.

    Because of Wlads three losses? Of course not. Your trolling needs improvement.

    Unlike Wlad , Foreman can claim better wins than the guys who beat him.

    Brewster and Sanders were two of the best guys Wlad fought.

    Wlads best win should have been a DQ loss 100%

    Ok, take away Spoon and Holmes still has Norton, Shavers, ****ey, Ali, Berbick, Bonecrusher , Mercer ..

    Take Povetkin away and Wlad has nobody.

    I realize this will be news to you, but George Foreman lost to Muhammed Ali who is recongized as the best of that era and by many even as the GOAT. In order to educate yourself, you could start with Wiki ...

    Foreman also won the legit HW title @ 45 y/o.

    Foreman > Klitschko

    Losses COUNT. Prime Wlad got KO'ed by guys who aren't worthy to carry Holmes' jock strap...

    45 y/o Foreman lost to Axel Schulz who was demolished and brutally TKO'd by 23 year Wlad Klitschko.

    Klitschko > Foreman

    Haye, Peter, Chagaev, Byrd, Ibragimov, Jennings, Pulev, McCline, Brock, etc.

    Holmes never Unified. Wlad unified all, but one title and probably will get it.

    Holmes got beat by a LHW twice. Wlad never got schooled twice let alone against a LHW. Imagine Kovalev trying to beat Klitschko.

    Holmes avoided some fighters. Wlad has fought everyone he possibly can.

    Wlad is still beating ranked fighters 5 years after Larry (34 years old) was getting outboxed. His longevity is great.

    Wlad: 64-3 (18 consecutive title defenses, Unified 4 HW belts, Champion 9+ years, 25-2 title bouts, Beat ~10 undefeated fighters)

    Larry: 69-6 (20 consecutive title defenses, No Unifications, Lost to a LHW 2x, clearly avoided some fighters, 21-3 title bouts)

    Most opponents that Wlad beat would arguably beat Holmes' opponents.
