Reason's Why Wladimir Klitschko Is Not An ATG

What standings that?

 

W.K is one of the top 5 heavyweights of all time. No one can seriously disagree with his level of opposition, he never ducked anyone and outside of Ali and Holyfield, who fought as many tough guys for as many years. He fought arguably the best heavyweight in the world in 2000 (Byrd) and again in 2017 (Joshua). That's a 17 year stretch. Amazing.

 

this bit is not clear at all- you've namedropped two ATGS but what are you claiming?

 

WKs strength was longevity (plus I suppose excellent management). He would comeback from bad losses, and rebuild a different career again and again without avenging the loss, taking a different route each time. Kinda like a chameleon. The Madonna of the boxing world.

The other good thing about him was he was counter culture to boxing - he wasnt a tough guy but more of an intellectual, who put a lot of thought into his work both in boxing and his studies. Good world media friendly image, multi-lingual. He also had a genius marketing team who made good use of his relatively limited boxing ability.

HoF would beckon for being the first time ever for brothers to hold HW titles. ATG is pushing it though.Its difficult to put someone so bad H2H in an category called "great".... if you did, then you have to put in hundreds of other boxers who were bad H2H.

 

AT LEAST Half a decade of biased anti-Klitschko drivel! That's quite the accomplishment Dinovelvet!

 

W.K. became a contender in around 2000. By that time the Tyson - Holyfield era was pretty much over. It was 16 years past the L.A. Olympics. He never fought Lewis, but who else did he miss?

 

i see, you are claiming he fought everyone.... or do you mean he beat everyone?

Or do you mean that he stuck around for 16 years of a boxing career? If so why mention ali and holy? lots of people have a 16 year sports career.

please clarify, cheers my man.

 

Who was the first Elite/HOF fighter?

 

Jack Broughton.
