Where do you rank Wladimir Klitschko among the all-time great heavyweights?

[IamInuit]

I don't rank him in top ten but he is obviously a very skilled guy. Much more than Vitali I believe but I'd much rather watch Vitali fight. Vitalis nerve is a step above. Latley I get the feel if you've seen one Wlad match you've seen them all and while he cannot be faulted for this generation or uncertain talent pool I think he is guilty of 'running up the numbers' in a few recently. I put little stock in quantity over quality or numbers for the sake of numbers.

So true. The how its won is much bigger then the win specifically here.

I agree with you both, but with the kind of money the German promoters are throwing at him, how can he refuse?
If he started refusing opponents due to quality we would be calling him an idiot, cowardly or insane.
I don't like the way the guy fights but he has been fighting any beating everybody for years.
I put him in top 15. I just want to say this one last thing, the way Lennox handled Tyson, I don't think shorty gets anywhere near Wald.
