    I seem to side with the majority with the "11-20" range. Very fair ranking, and quite an impressive standing for a still active HW. General seems to have caught up with Classic overall in regards to Wlad getting his dues as a sound top 20 pick.

    If Wlad keeps punching himself out and getting KO'ed as a result, what does that tell you, Genius?

    If you are going to rank him higher than top 20, where are those that beat him ranked? Who are those ranked above and below him? I would say that there are many more heavyweights through out history that I would pick to beat him.

    Wlad hasn't been knocked down in over six years, while fighting the best in his division.

    So obviously he doesn't have a "glass jaw" and most people were able to tell he was just joking about that.

    And Vitali overcame the stigma of not finishing the Byrd fight by showing tremendous courage and heart against Lennox Lewis. Only an irrational Klitschko hater would judge Vitali entirely on that worst performance eleven years ago, and ignore everything he's done since then.

    Maybe you weren't PAYING ATTENTION but one of the previous posters made a blanket claim that athletes in 2011 are better than atheletes from 1971.

    This is grossly untrue as the Joe Frazier example shows.

    Go back and re-read the last few pages and get caught up on the conversation, Genius..

    The classic forum looks at things through the lens of history, and witholds credit from contemporary fighters untill it is unequivocaly earned in the ring.

    Few if any posters on the clasic forum, would deny Wladamir Klitschko a top 20 spot.

    On the other hand, few have him in their top 10, and if they do it is near to the bottom.

    For whatever this is worth.

    WTF?

    Wlad hasn't fought a heavyweight of note for nearly *10* years.

    Exactly WHO has he beaten since getting driven into the canvas by Brewster?

    Wlad has admitted he has a Glass Jaw. His own words.:lol::rofl:patsch

    Do you know why he hasn't been knocked down? Because he fights like a coward against overmatched small fat opponents like Eddie "Fast" Chambers. Christ, even his own trainer was calling him a ***** inbetween rounds in that fight.

    Wlad knows he has a Glass Jaw, hence his disgracefully timid style.
