Where do you rate Wladimir Klitschko among all-time heavyweights?

Good thread. I think Wlad is a magnificent athlete, a total pro who has brought respect to the division and he is a very skilled technical boxer. At 6'6", with his skills, he would have been a threat to any fighter who ever lived.

However, I wouldnt put him in the top ten, because,

- he is a bit chinny, and he sometimes fights like he knows it
- unfortunately for him, he hasnt had a serious rival or a defining fight (he has either won really easily, or lost quite easily. I'm sure he is brave and has heart but he hasnt been forced to show it much yet
- he does have a bit of a boring style.

I actually thing he is the better BOXER of the Klits, but his brother is the better FIGHTER

I voted 16-25. I think he falls just short of the very best men i.e. Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Louis, Lennox, Holmes and Evander. But them guys all have the advantage of Hindsight and we all see things rosier in the past.

Also the guys above had better rivals than Wlad. But to be honest I do think he would fall short of the very best, it's a shame he'll probably never fight another great HW.
