On one hand he must be respected for staying atop the HW division for so long. Even though it was a garbage division, it still was an impressive run.

But on the other hand he fought in a very dishonorable way with his excessive clinching and leaning his body on people. He had a very boring style and he pretty much single-handedly made the entire world not care about the HW division.

And then when he was finally dethroned, it was done by a mediocre fat body gypsy who, turns out is completely insane. And it was done so in a horrible fight where Clinch-ko could barely by bothered to throw a punch.

I know a lot of boxing fans rate him in the top 10 of all time. To me he was just an inflated man with a glass chin who stayed in Europe and benefited from the best of "German engineering". I don't believe he belongs in the same breath as great champs like Ali, Holmes, Foreman, Louis, Tyson, Lewis, etc.
