yeah nice work, shall we take apart wlads resume from the same point of view, now that will be messy.
Not better agree that..atleast yet Byrd: twice Brewster: Twice, altought 1 lost Peter: should be next great heavy Mercer: past his prime Schultz: Was old, but beating was totally great
Lol your so badly on wlads nuts it's untrue, he is the best heavyweight at the moment no doubt but he can never go down in history as a fighter of the standard of lennox, his losses so far already cancel that out.
It's matter of how you calculate, different value's..wlad has already have a lot of fights compare him to Lewis...and it's still going on... Lewis resume is of course better right now, but we dont now to future..also remember, most boxing fans think Lewis was "nothing" only a couple years before he retire and now his better than most 70th ATG:s..opinions chance quickly.
I wouldn't rank him higher but right behind and as closer as possible to Lewis. There's a reason why they appeared in Ocean 11 mainstream picture, not so much to do with charisma but aknowledging about the impression that that would be the big Hwt fight after Tyson vs Holyfield, Holyfield vs Lewis and Lewis vs Tyson. Despite unfavoring Wlad's chances had he taken his brother's place against Lewis, I surely believe that unifying all 4 belts now and beating Povetkin right away ( if Sasha is to face him for real) then, he'd be the big name in modern, contemporary Hwt history and there's no reason to deny him an ATG position, behind Lewis...
Bottom line: there is no one on Wlad's list to compare with these names: Byrd: past his prime blown up super middle who had disgraced himself Brewster: When Brewster was at his best, he won Mercer: Hundreds of years old Schultz: hasbeen/never quite was Austin: Austin Brock: as yet has accomplished nothing Willimason: yet another knockdown agaisnt third rate guy Peter: has recently been exposed- someof us always knew he wasn't great DO NOT GET ME WRONG! I am pulling for Wladdy to have some kind of legacy, and I think he will get there. He's not better than Lewis, period.
How many Lewis opponent are exposed? Almost everyone..Golota, Rahman etc... Lewis resume is better right now. I admit that:good
If Wlad dominates for 6 more years and beats 10 contenders then he'll be greater than Lewis. We don't know what will happen in the future. I think that Wlad won't be so great as Lewis, but you never know. Right now, Wlad has done more than Lewis at the same age.
True, although Lewis went pro later and had nowhere near the same level of red marks on his record that Wlad does. Of course, any speculation about Wlad's future legacy is contingent on his escaping the inevitable and somehow ducking Povetkin. Nothing can stop Sasha... Except a nice warm bowl of goulash (or 20).
Wlad right now is at Bowe level in accomplishments, Wlad never beat a great oppenent just a couple good good ones. I dont see Wlad dominating for 6 more years, maybe 3 if his chin aint exposed again. The losses on Wlads resume are pretty bad, and he was TKOd by all 3. I see Wlad finishing his career and ending up just outside the top 20 greatest Heavywieghts IMO.
Is this a joke? Even if Wlad beats every single HW today he can not surpass Lewis in terms of greatness. There is just nobody good in the division compared the tough opposition Lewis beat.
No, I would rank Lennox Lewis ahead of him. If Wladimir Klitschko beats Chagaev, Ibragimov, Peter/Maskaev, and Povetkin, retires with a record of 53-3 (48), piles up 12 total title defenses, and holds all 4 title belts, I would rank him in the top 15 ever at heavyweight.
