Name one Hall-of-Fame fighter that Wladimir Klitschko has beaten

I personally dont look at it that way. True Wk hasnt beaten any HOF'er, thats beacuse there isnt any around. Apart from Toney and Holyfield, and if he does beat them, what will people say? they were too old etc.
WK hasnt beaten any HOF, however he is DOMINATING the divison, like it or not, he is the top dog. He is sitting at the same pedestal that Louis, Marciano, Liston, Tyson, Ali and Lewis sat on. At the top of the division. (I dont count Holyfield because he wasnt really a dominating champ to me 2bh)

 

Im from Michigan and even I'll tell you Chris Byrd was lucky as **** to ever win a heavyweight title and it says alot about the heavywieght division that chris byrd won a heavyweight title. Once by Vitali injuring his shoulder and another time by him facing a shot Holyfield who James Toney stopped in his next fight. James Toney is a better heavyweight then Chris Byrd.

 

Wlad is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. He is just entering his prime and he already has a very impressive resume.

- Most dominant fighter in the world

- Has cleaned out the HW division

- Lineal/IBF/WBO/IBO/RING Unified heavyweight champion of the world

- Olympic Gold Medalist

- 49 KOs in 55 wins

- Has made 16 dominant world title defences

- Has defeated 8 world heavyweight champions:

Chris Byrd I (31-1)
Chris Byrd II (39-2)
Sam Peter I (24-0)
Sam Peter II (34-3)
Ruslan Chagaev (25-0)
Sultan Ibragimov (22-0)
Lamon Brewster (33-3)
Hasim Rahman (45-5)
Francois Botha (44-3)
Ray Mercer (30-4)

- has defeated tons of top contenders:

Eddie Chambers (35-1)
Calvin Brock (29-0)
Tony Thompson (31-1)
Jameel McCline (28-2)
Monte Barrett (23-0)
Ray Austin (24-3)
DaVarryl Williamson (20-2)
Axel Schulz (26-3)
Derrick Jefferson (23-2)
Charles Shufford (17-1)
Eliseo Castillo (18-0)
etc....

 

If my boxing knowledge does not lie to me Wladimir Klitschko was NEVER KTFO! He only lost by TKO, so he was only knocked down and not out.

 

Ive never really rated Byrd either 2bh

 

Whether he deserves it or not, Byrd probably goes in.

I think fighters like Chambers and Chag MAY have something left to be done.

Rahman goes in for sure(He was past his prime, but your title doesn't specify that).

 

Which HoFers did Holmes beat?

 

Absolutely NONE of the fighters you listed are going into the hall of fame. You dont get into the Hall of Fame by beating a shot fighter(Byrd) or a lucky KO (Rahman).

 

Reading this thread is like watching pigeons walk.

 

Probably none, true. But how can you say he hasnt been dominant enough against his opponents? The guy hasnt lost a round for ages.

 

One. Ken Norton. As to why Holmes career is extremely comparable to Vitali's and Wlads. Dominating over sparse competition.

 

Im sure he beat an old Ali, Norton, Shavers. :rasta
