You cannot just clump the Klits's resumes together and call them both ATGs

    thats a good point that lewis was more unprofessional than the klitschko bros. he was so complacent in the rahman fight.

    Wlad will be seen as the guy dominating the 2005-2015 era. So yes, obviously he will be remembered in the boxing history books as a great of his era.

    I don't know that we would perceive it as crap. I suppose it depends on who would have emerged from the division as the dominant heavyweight. If it turned out to be James Toney, or some 90s relic like Shannon Briggs, the yeah, we would have definitely seen the era for what it is. But if Byrd became the dominant heavyweight? People love hyperbole, and he likely would start drawing comparisons to Kenny Norton.

    I think we sometimes overstate how out of shape this era's heavyweights are. Yeah, some of them are. But people like Haye, Ruiz, Byrd, Brock, Thompson, and the eastern european fighters always came in fighting shape.

    Illogical.

    If your statements were undisputed, then by definition the media and public would agree with your rating of the Klitschkos.

    There are a variety of other statements in your post that people dispute as well.

    You should have just stuck to "infallible" and "irrefutable", since they don't require anybody to agree with you to be true.
