    Both Klits are top 15 definately.

    They could both be higher if it wasnt for their era.

    To be honest head to head there are few heavyweight in history that would stand a chance against them. Some supposed all time greats would be made to look silly by them. Tyson would barely win a round and would be stopped late on by either of them.

    Yes. H2H I think they are both in the Top10.

    However, if you also consider accomplishments....then Vitali is in the Top25 and Wlad in the Top20 or Top15.

    :lol:

    Not even going to start on the fact you have both Klitschko's currently in the top 10, how the hell do you justify having Bob Fitzsimmons at #11? Woeful rankings.

    He's outside the top 15 if you're a serious boxing fan. He's outside my top 20. Both of them have lost and Vitali resume is awful.

    Id say SERIOUS boxing fans would have them higher than most. Wlad under Steward has looked unbeatable (Im aware of the first fight they had together but they hadnt been working together that long).

    Vitali lost via injury when well ahead on the scorecards and lost to Lewis via cuts (fair enough) but he was ahead on all the scorecards and on another day he might not have got cut.

    Its those less serious boxing fans who think the 0 is all important.

    He was rumoured to be suffering from the effects from jaundice or influenza, and weighed in at just 168 pounds (76 kg)—15 pounds (6.8 kg) lighter than his previous fight, and well below Johnson's 192 pounds (87 kg).
