    Wlad and Vitali holding belts doesn't have **** to do with Wlad's legacy and that he is a coward and fights scared against everyone.

    George Foreman isn't on my TV set.

    You said "noone has ever dominated a sport like the Klitschkos dominate boxing, since Babe Ruth ruled baseball in the 1920's."

    They're not even the most dominant sportsmen in boxing today. They're not even the most dominant sportsment in their own family FFS.

    George and Wlad fought quite a bit the same way, when Wlad failed at that style he adapted, when George failed he did not change.

    George if he had adapted could have been the greatest heavyweight in the history of the sport. He did not and after his disgraceful loss to Young he quit.....what he should have done was learned from his mistakes and changed his style a bit.

    I am not his biggest fan, but he will leave a very good legacy, not as good as his brother though. Vitali is an all time great heavyweight.

    You know it's a sport. You might buy into the idea that boxing is like "real" fighting. It's not, I don't follow mma, but mma is actually a lot closer to a street fight than boxing.

    Boxing is a sport with a lot of rules. If you wrap your head around that, you may (or may not..) appreciate Wlad a lot more.

    Let's just say even if Wlad were to be knocked out by another complete nobody right now and then retire on the spot, he'll still leave a legacy that is magnitudes bigger than anything Norton or Shavers have ever achieved.

    George is clueless.

    yeah but people like you seem to believe this "baddest man on the planet" bull****. Yes I'm assuming, maybe you don't, but others do.

    Just because someone wins or loses in the ring, outside the ring with no rules, same opponent, who knows what happens.

    I guess I'm just ranting a little, but boxing has nothing to do with "a real fight".

    So, you think about that and maybe you will appreciate Wlad more or any "safety first" fighter.

    Maybe not.

    Wlad is competition to him. He is one more guy that could eventually knock him down the totem pole on ATG status.

    I think it's nonsense anyways.

    Of course Wlad will have a big legacy. You can't be HW Champ for 5+ years and not have a big legacy.

    How many other HW Champs have been champ for 5+ years (8 including WBO)?

    How many have made 10 title defenses (15 including WBO)?

    How many have a higher KO/rounds won %?

    He's beaten several title holders.

    Rematched on of his defeats and won.

    Not only all these things, but he could be fighting for several more years and adding to these #'s.

    Are you kidding me?

    You think Shavers and Norton have a better resume and/or could beat Wlad in their primes?

    wlads / Vitali legacy will have been ruling over by far the worst HW division of all time.

    are you a boxing historian? Tell me a bit about the history of the hw division, I'd be very happy for an expert like you to tell me.
