    The best HW of all time is and forever will be Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber and the rest is blasphemy.

    Well, Joe's comp wasn't that good either--1939 fight he was knocked down by "Two Ton" Tony Galento:deal

    At least the old version of baby brother Klitschko when he was on the rise and beat the **** out of Ray Mercer and Jameel McCline was showing the ferocity we expect. Now, the guy is not even showing class cause if you check it out, he jabs, str8 right down the pipe with not much conviction, that is very aware of what may come back at him, taking calculated risk. And when his opponent is stumbling back helpless, is when he touches him twice more with right handers. Both Ali and Holmes would go smashing straight for the kill and Joe Louis would put on a classy combo in there the guy would be hurt and gone in the same sequence.

    This is such a terrible HW era. That is how it will be remembered.

    two ton galento didn't win that night, just like all the rest.

    corrie sanders did. the old fat retired version of that nevercontender. just like the others did win vs wlad.

    c'mon, Louis ws light years ahead of wlad.

    Joe also lost to Schmeling and Charles who had several losses to very poor fighters.

    Possibly.

    Wlad will have plenty (if not the most massive fighters' scalps in HW history when he retires) and I'm sure some of them can beat the 90's guys.

    dominant not due to his own skill but due to the lack of his opponents

    he would be ordinary in any semi-competitive heavyweight era

    Wlad is not the most dominant of all-time. Fact.

    If he beats Joe's record, maybe, just maybe, the discussion can be opened.

    Something Wladmir nor his fans can talk about

    Byrd was good, not great. Ike Ibeabuchi showed Byrd for what he was.

    Whereas Vitali quit.

    Bit of a coincidence that people with long dominant reigns, always tend to have **** poor opposition.

    Wlad being the latest example.

    talking title fights. that's what talking about dominant hw champ means.


    Louis lost once when young to someone deadly and lost when shot and old - but near prime, prime and post prime he killed all.

    Furthermore Vitali and Wlad lost in their primes, badly to a lightheavy, a journeyman, a retired neverman and a gatekeeper and of course to old lennox (no shame there).

    Your comparison is not only categorically WRONG, but is also crap in its own irrelevant category. Don't do it again.
