    With 1 fight Vitali has made history twice. First by being out of the ring for nearly 4 years & returning to TKO the WBC champion with no tune-up. The second being one half of the only 2 brothers in history to hold World Heavyweight titles simultaneously. Just as Mike Tyson being the youngest HW champion ever includes him in any serious ATG list.

    He's a Top30 or Top40 of all time.

    Tyson never was the youngest champ, youngest beltholder. Patterson was younger when he won the championship.

    "Wills
    Patterson
    Schmeling
    Walcott
    Charles
    Liston
    Langford
    McVey
    Jeanette
    Fitzsimmons"

    You would have a hard time selling that any of these are better than Wlad or Vitali based on accomplishments let alone head to head.

    Those guys all have a better resume than both Klitschko´t together. And accomplishment-wise most of them are far superior to the Klitschko´s. Some "only" won the black hw belt but that belt is more worth than any ABC-title nowadays.

    H2h is pure speculation. I never go by that. Stick with the facts. The klitschko´s are very good fighters. Great fighters in there time but in the grande theme of things, Vitali is a footnote while his little brother stands on the verge of greatness at the moment. Let´s see if he is able to join the man I´ve written down. I think he will.

    I'm not trying to argue but both Klitschkos are ahead of all those guys I quoted IMO.

    TBH I doubt you know much about these fighters, for instance did you realise Wills has a very good case to be the best heavyweight in the world from 1914-1926

    With what arguments? There simply are none.
