Teddy Atlas on AJ v Wlad fight not being greatest ever

Who called it the greatest fight of all time ?

 

It was the greatest hw fight, imho which means it's a fact that's it's the greatest hw fight FOR ME

 

i didn't think it was anywhere near as great as people are making out, very good fight, but thats it. i thought Breazeale/Ugonoh was better imo

 

Is Teddy Atlas addressing you then ?

 

It was one of the best heavyweight fights I've seen for a while.

 

It will probably win fight of the year.

 

Was the fact is completely exceeded expectations.
The majority expected Joshua early or Wlad late/points.
Had for more drama than anyone would have thought, great fight. Not the greatest ever by any means but a fantasic fight, huge drama, huge significance.

 

It's the best heavyweight fight I've watched live since 2006. But it's not the best in history, it's up there tho! Atleast top 10 of all time.

 

Atlas hit the nail on the head.

 

It is one of the greatest heavyweight fights ever in my opinion.

Never were two 6ft.6 giants with that much punching power and ferocity of punches together in the ring.
Both fighters were coming back in spectacular fashion after knocked down and the atmosphere in the Wembley Stadium was unbelievable.

It was the fight of the giants, it reminded me of a rocky movie or a fight between two gladiators.

 

It was a really good fight which then accentuates because it was such a high profile clash.

But one of the best of all time? I'm not so sure. Was it much better than Whyte-Chisora?

 

Shame on you, dude. You should know better than that. It was about the 20-25th best heavyweight fight. Everything that idiot Atlas blathered is true. It's just been a long time since we've seen a good heavyweight fight that meant something and people are losing their heads.

 

Atlas is a jealous idiot. This was definitely the best HW title fight of the last 10 years. Even mainstream media picked it up. I saw mainstream headlines calling it the "Thriller of Wembley". I find that a bit cringeworthy but it still shows the attention this fight generated. Anyone who derides the fight as meaningless in boxing history is absolutely clueless or simply a hater of the sport.

It will likely be talked about as equal to some of the Bowe - Holyfield trilogy fights, Holyfield - Lewis I &II, Lewis - Klitschko. Wlad Klitschko vs. AJ fits right in. IMO it belongs right into this level of fights. Granted, it certainly is not topping the biggest fights of Louis or Ali. But still a great HW battle that generations of boxing fans will talk about 50 years from now.

 

Who said it was?
