Wlad has had over 60 fights and yet I can't remember even one of them as being entertaining. Similarily Mike Tyson had 56 fights but almost every time he entered the ring there were fireworks. Wlad is 6′ 6″ or 2 meters tall and comes in at 250 pounds in very good shape proving that in boxing size really does matter. Similarily Mike Tyson measured 5′ 10″ / 178cm and only weighed 220 pounds during his prime. Klitschko's father, Vladimir Rodionovich Klitschko (19472011), was a member of the Ukranian elite and a Soviet Air Force major general. Similarily Tyson's father left his family around the time that Tyson was born and his mother worked as a prostitute. Tyson is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the HW world championship. Similarily Wladimir despite being called chumpion by many people actually isn't and has never been the heavyweight world champion. These similarities are quite striking in my honest opinion, it's as if we were talking about 1 and the same person really and bearing this in mind I must admit that I have my doubts really if this Wladimir character really ever existed cause to me it sounds like a prank, someone slapped the Mike Tyson story on paper and then changed out Mike's name for an eastern european one. The point of this thread is that, Wlad will also be regarded as one of the greats few years down he line, most probably top10, despite all the **** he gets these days.
Wlad is an ATG, this thread is an ATG sh*t stain Coming from a Tyson fan and a known Wlad hater Wlad might be boring, but you cannot ignore his dominance. To me the first step in greatness is dominating your era, and hes done that. Where he ranks on ATG lists is upto the people.
He will definitely be appreciated when he retires, especially when people see clowns like Fury, Chisora, Solis...etc disgrace the division by holding the titles. Hell even Tony Thompson will most likely hold a title.
tyson gets koed in seconds by a near 40something retiree who nevermind never won anything in his entire career, never even fought for a title. and then ran in fear ffrom the rematch. oh wait no. when this is the resme of an atg, so help me god
it will be similar to the end of Holmes career in the mid 80s with guys swapping belts until a Tyson like fighter comes along and no that ain't wilder
