Re: Where do you rank Wladimir Klitschko among the all-time heavyweights?
Haye doesn't beat vitali!
K2 are done with that salesman hopefully!
Haye means shit to either man and Haye does no better in a Wlad rematch!
PPL are only high on haye because of his 2 brawls with that mental case Chisora!
They think he'l beat him because he did something a one armed VK couldn't! By that logic Cooney beats Holmes because he stopped Norton in 1! Silly talk....
VK has to have seriously aged for Haye to win! Haye is irrelevant to either man really! He's certainly not Wk's best win and in VK's case i would rate Peter, Sanders and Solis as a better win than him! In fact he's not really that more impressive a scalp than Adamek, Gomez or Hide.
He's not top 5 on Wlads resume.

I'm not sure where I stand with Wladimir right now.
I have no doubt he would have been difficult oppostion for many of the ATGs in HW history, but he has competed in such a weak era that it is hard to quantify such a belief.
I believe history will be kinder to Wladimir than the present.
Re: Where do you rank Wladimir Klitschko among the all-time heavyweights?
If Sam Peter is their best win neither should be in the top 100.
(Herbie Hide was more dangerous than Peter. Fact.)

Hide (that version) may well be Vit's best win.
Do you think they have better wins that Peter/Hide?
I've asked the question before... is there anybody on either Klit's record, that the top 40-50 HWs in history would not also have beat! I say 'No' ...Not the brother's fault, but a fact nonetheless

I think they should be judged as individuals not a team, but neither have a win that far above Hide/Peter, which lets be honest is shocking.
Byrd
Sanders
Chagaev
Old Botha
Old Mercer
Old Briggs
Old Rahman
(fucks sake, it's depressing)

Nice CV.
He certainly looks impressive when viewed in this form.
Re: Where do you rank Wladimir Klitschko among the all-time heavyweights?
Well Bryd could trouble a lot of heavyweights could beat a top 20 i think i don't see many fighters in the 1900-1950s beating the guy for sure. Chagaev and Haye are good wins as well i just dont get why people are so down on Wlad. How do we know the undefeated guys that were smashed by Wlad were not good. I mean wtf is Louis best win Scheming, Wallcott, and LHW Conn i think all them get crused by top 40 Heavyweights and he consider to be pretty high on the list i think Wlad could make top 10 by the time he is done.
