    Everybody says "Wlad has a glass jaw". At least that's what I read a few minutes ago again. Well, he hasn't been knocked down in 7 years (2005 against Sam Peter). And during those 7 years he held pretty much all the heavyweight titles in the world. And now tell me which other heavyweight champion in the history of boxing was holding heavyweight titles for 7 years (unbeaten during that time span) without being knocked down?
    The only 3 that come to my mind MIGHT BE Joe Louis and Larry Holmes and Jack Johnson. Then I remembered Holmes being knocked down by Renaldo Snipes in 1981 and Earnie Shavers in 1979, and then Holmes lost the title against Michael Spinks in 1985 and lost the rematch as well. (not to mention his questionable wins over Witherspoon and Carl "The Truth" Williams)
    So: Larry Holmes doesn't have a 7 year streak during his title reign in which he was never knocked down.

    Jack Johnson got knocked down by Stanley Ketchel during his reign, so he also doesn't have 7 years as a reigning HW Champ without being knocked down. (and let's not forget good ol' Jack Johnson drew the color line once he became Champ so he wouldn't have to face the likes of Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette....).
    Last but not least we have Joe Louis: He reigned from 1937-1948, but was knocked down by Tony Galento in 1939, then he was knocked down by Buddy Baer in 1941 (if I remember right he was knocked through the ropes and had to climb back into the ring), then he was knocked down by Jersey Joe Walcott multiple times in 1947.
    So Joe Louis also doesn't have a 7 year streak without being knocked down while he held the title.

    The Klitschko's are very likeable guys, why is it their fans want to go out of their way to ensure that everyone hates the brothers?

    He fights more safety first. Maybe because he got knocked out twice. That is why some of his fights are boring. Example: Camacho after the Rosario fight.

    Wladimir Klitschko is now greater than Joe Louis, it's irrefutable.

    Your right, you can't argue or even get upset at facts in a boxing standpoint. At least he didn't say that he has the strongest chin ever, like some other klitlicking fanatic will say later.

    I do like the brothers, I watch all their fights and appreciate what they do. My issue is their fans who constantly make out that they're better than they actually are.
