    I'd say he's on a comparable level, but slightly beneath, bowe. Both are tough h2h matchups. Both have a resume that doesn't do their skills justice. Both tested themselves against a true great. Bowe, however, conquered his great twice.

    Plus, as far as I know, bowe is the only heavyweight in history to hold all 5 belts at one time or another.

    How the hell is Holmes getting into everyone's top 3?, his resume is ****.


    I'd maybe have Vitali somewhere in the 15-20 region.

    Vitali is comfortably in the top 15-20. A few more good wins & he could move to the top 10-15.

    I have him at around 20-25 at the moment. I think when he retires I could just nip him in the top 20.

    i have him at 13, and Wlad at 9.

    Anyone who ***** about Vitali's resume and then ranks Tunney or Johnson ahead of him are morons IMO.

    IMO.. Vitali is one of the best h2h fighters of all time, due to his size, massive KO power, reach and intelligence...
    but ranking boxers on greatness and achievements is a different story.. Here is my list:
    1. Louis
    2. Ali
    3. Holmes
    4. Lennox Lewis
    5. George Foreman
    6. Evander Holyfield
    7. Wladimir Klitschko (Probably going to get bashed for this lol)
    8. Mike Tyson
    9. Riddick Bowe
    10. Vitali Klitschko
    11. Sonny Liston
    12. Floyd Patterson
    13. Joe Walcott
    14. Ezzard Charles
    15. Rocky Marciano

    Hard to say, he's only really had one test

    I don't. I don't list him at all among the ATG.

    He's not an ATG. He's a good fighter that's it.

    Calling a Klitschko an ATG lowers true ATG value by 50%.

    His KO percentage and granite chin speak for themselves. The only guy that has a better record in these lists is Marciano.
