I was just wondering what would a fighter have to do to become universally accepted as the P4P greatest fighter of all time. In these days of only fighting once every 6 months or so, I think you'd have to do something like KO every guy you ever fought within 30seconds or something. There's just no way you could get a Sugar Ray Robinson type record of 128-1-1 unless you fought until you were 60.

LOL, you mean like Sugar Ray Robinson? j/k
I've never heard anyone ever say the Klitschkos are the best ever...

I have heard alot of people say they are very good.
I do think Vitali is a solid fighter, not great, but solid and he needs a couple fights against tough competition to prove it.
Wlad seems to have something wrong with him. I think he got knocked down in his last fight, that SHOULD NOT happen in a tune up fight. He's definitely got alot to prove...
What I hate about these superheavyweight type guys is that they're dead tired if they fight a tough round.

Vitali is a good pro, but he's way overrated, i don't see how he's proved himself yet

A good man with a decrepit Lennox Lewis? Beating a completely out of shape Corrie Sanders who probably spent more time in Dunkin Donuts than in the gym? I agree he has to prove himself a little more.

Wlad on the other hand has huge doubts he needs to clear up. He better totally dominate the next 5 guys he fights if he wants to be accepted again.

I do think it's funny that the Klitschko's have so many nuthuggers who overlook every flaw they have, and at the same time shootdown other fighters for one lose or poor performance.

sorry, I meant "good match" with Lennox. And that reminds me, there are alot of Klit fans who basically count that as a win for Vitali, which is retarded. And that also reminds me of the Byrd fight. I can't believe a guy would give up a title and an undefeated record over anything other than a completely crippling injury.

Just say your 'the greatest' over and over again and see if that works?

LOL, it worked for Ali. I hate Ali, I have to admit it. And if I could change the outcome of any boxing match in history, it would be Ali-Foreman. I would have George hit him so hard that Ali's head spins all the way around. It would be remembered as the most horrifying knockout of all time.

Nobody will ever be said to be better than Sugar Ray Robinson, IMO.

I suppose one hundred years from now if boxers are back to fighting every few weeks than another great one might come along. Stranger things have happened...

Has Ken Jennings been dethroned yet? I haven't seen that show in a while yet.

No! He's still winning and he's up to $2,151,901!!
Tonight he will probably break the record for all time highest game show winnings. This guy is the man.
