Is Wladamir Klitschko A ATG Heavyweight?

Yes because of longevity. No matter what the era is like, dominating an era gets you ATG status. It's not like Wlad has ducked anyone.
Would I put him high? Hell no.

Wladimir is definitely an ATG.

I'm gonna agree with the weak era fella's. It's always been an acceptable argument against my man's Rocky, and Dempsey. I see no reason it shouldn't apply here.

LOL so I guess Larry Holmes isn't an ATG either? The early/mid 80s was just as bad a heavyweight division as today. Marvin Hagler spent his career with Vito Antuofermo and Mustafa Hamsho as the next best Middleweight so he can't be an ATG

I'm no fan of Wlad or his style, however, he has all the belts bar one. How can this man not be an ATG? He has practically cleaned the division out, and no one has really even challenged him. The heavyweight division is poor, but you have to give Wlad some credit.
Like his style or not, he is an ATG.

No. Sorry dudes, but fighters don't get graded on a curve. You don't get your C grade turned into an A just because everyone else got an F.
