Subpar Foe Doesn't Mean Klitschko's Not An All-Timer

Listen Wald is lucky that he got to come in after the 90's guys were getting old. Vitali might have a case as well but he could not dethrone old man Lewis they came at the right time. This division is like the 80's pretty much so i would expect there to be a long reigning champ. You are trying to compare these guys to old timers but if we go by that logic then these guys are lucky they weren't trying to be champs 20 years earlier really because they just be some top guys in the 90's and not these untouchables they are now at the moment. Wald got smacked down by contenders and a journeyman from 90's and if Vitali could not last with 38 year old Lewis, who in his prime a 38 year old Holyfeild hung with and i think deserved a draw. The Brothers might make it to the top 10 but you can't knock out old guys who did just as much in there times so kinda hard to judge were to really put them its not all about head to head, its about how resume is to how good are these guys they are fighting. Now i am only judging these by mid 80's and up is when fighters were getting bigger that's the realm in which they should be judge the 80's and the 90's.

I think the Klitschkos are for sure ATG HW champs, but it's just weird rating them because it's hard to separate them because they both cleaned up the HW division together.

No it does not mean he is not an ATG just as it did not mean it for Joe Louis, Tyson and Holmes. Longevity adds to a champions legacy
