klitschkos are not top 20 all time

While i do mostly agree, Europe as well as the rest of the world has soccer as well as hockey in some places and basketball..

 

Those guys don't get paid anywhere near what NFL and NBA players get paid, I can assure you. I can also assure you that they are approximately half the size of NFL and NBA guys, dead serious. That is exactly how it pertains to the heavyweight division in the U.S. I therefore must respectfully say....bad analogy.

 

Wlad is top 30, Vitali ain't even top 50 so don't worry too much.

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

Lol maybe i have no idea what they get paid find soccer beyond boring.. there are 6'6 players playing soccer though :think

 

Klitschkos win because they are very skilled fighters.

 

Wladimir KlitschKO has done enough to be in a top 20. Vitaliy is probably out of top 20 but only because of his problems with injuries.

 

**** off:rofl:rofl

 

Vitali has been plagued with injuries. I think he underwent a total of five surgeries over the last 10 years. This is pretty much a knockout for any professional athlete.

Remember he said in 2004 "I fear my body is betraying me". His comeback is really a miracle in physical rehab and surgery.

 

I am sorry for not drinking the Kbros juice but I just really cannot see them competing in the 60s, 70s, or even 80s and 90s. yes they are the most skilled super heavyweights outside of Lennox and the best of this era, but that does not make them great. they may beat quite a few of he contenders back in the day but how would they hold up war after war? I think the older bros with his long history of injuries would have retired long before his last birthday. younger bro, with his suspect chin, could find a nice quiet place to sleep on any given night. I think they are technically sound but are robotic and therefore predictable in nature. The reason why I do cannot rate them higher on my ATG list is because I do not see them as great.

 

Wlad is around 30 th all-time. He's been Koed 3 times by fighters that aren't have as good as the all time greats.

 

No way, try to compare Cristiano Ronaldo with Kobe :11 mln EUR vs 30 mln USD, i mean without adverts etc.


Year ago Kimi Raikonnen got about 30 mln euro in Formula 1

 

Bull****. Wlad, irrespective of his modest resume and unreliable chin, has tremendous natural ability, certainly on par with most of the second half (11-20) of the top 20 HWs list.

With respect to Vitali, as awkward and aesthetically challenging as his performances are on the eye, your fooling yourself if you don't think he'd be competitive with most of the best of the last 40-50 years.
