I'll guess that he was referring to The Cold War era and how over time there have been more and more fighters coming from the former Soviet states.
I don't rate Wladimir top 10 yet, but he's not far off. Wladimir has been a dominant champion and looks to continue that for the foreseeable future. Wlad has a great record in title fights, he's defended his title often and with great success, and given what he personally has control of he's been an All-Time great boxer. The things Wladimir cannot control do not help his case, but they shouldn't hurt it so much either, he's in a "weak era", he has 0 true rivals...the closest guys would have to be Chris Byrd and shit I can't even think of anyone else, but he wins, he wins by KO and he's a brilliant technical fighter. Certainly people consider being a great technical fighter boring, but Tim Duncan is a boring basketball player, but it doesn't make him bad. By the end of his career wladimir Klitschko will be a top 10 heavyweight of All-Time.
