    Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston, Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis. I dont think any of these guys would get their head smashed in by Corrie Sanders in 2 rounds !

    The history books Show them as powerful and effective champions Against limited opposition when peak physical condition is factored into it sometimes its not always the winning record history remembers you for. they have fought some good fighters but none that were great with the exception of lewis. wlad also came unstuck against some fighters who were no where near great.

    an example is nielsen who could be construed as being an effective and powerful heavyweight with 43 ko's and who matched rocky marciano's record...... but who he fought factored into his inflated record

    Brian Nielsen 49-0 at one point would be an all time great on paper against limited opposition
    Boxing record
    Total fights 67
    Wins 64
    Wins by KO 43
    Losses 3

    My point is that history remembers fighters not just on the record its how they go about their business and who they do it against obviously k2 are above Nielsen i just used him to illustrate the way history can interpret things from paper.

    I Have not "Whined" about anything. I expressed an opinion that i believe that both klitschko brothers are boring fighters with wlad being the most boring to watch style wise. I did not mention david haye and i was not complaining i was responding to a comment that was made and giving an example of why domination of a division is not necessarily a bad thing when it is done in an entertaining fashion. I often find that too many bitches on here express childlike attitudes to comments that do not fit their mold and therefore resort to name calling. then a few sheep with lol and feed the troll. it is sad and pathetic and is the reason east side boxing has lost a lot of respect as a public forum for fair topical discussion on the sweet science.

    Moaning like a ***** is different from expressing an opinion without using profanity.being a ***** is acting like a ****** when someone makes a valid comment that you dont like so really who's the *****.

    How odd that everyone hated Lenox back when he was king.....now he's well loved.

    Just wait....in ten years everyone will be saying about how great it was back in the old day of the K-bro's.

    No one respected Lenox, only man hated more than him was DHL.

    Some folks hate jabs....love wild hooks to the gloves.

    You'd not believe how popular the K-bro's would be if they were American. Lenox was hated because he was not American....some sort of Canadian Englishman, who spoke funny.

    I remember Lennox era very well and he was not hated? in the uk he was never hated the only time he was booed really was against bruno, some folk were not a fan of his pugilist style. he was not a favourite because there were many good heavyweights that had different styles,personalities etc Holyfield the country boy there was Tyson there was Bowe there was golota,McCall, David tua Donovan Ruddock George foreman and many more . he was and still is loved in the uk. he was booed during the vitali klitschko fight because of the way he fought(flat and without motivation)

    I really hope you´re right, I´d hate to see this fight turn into cat and mouse -like non-fight
