The main argument for Klitshko hater argument for them not being ATGs and just the best of their era is "What ATG have they beat?". Never mind that all the ATGs were too old and too shot for the Klitschkos to fight, they picked the best ranked fighters, not washed up fighters with name recognition only. They could have added Tyson, Holyfield, and Toney to their resumes but they chose to fight real threats instead.
So now a question to the Klitschko-haterzs - if your main criteria to GOAT status is the number of ATGs on a fighters record - is Lebedev approaching GOAT status? Will it take just one more win over Tarver, Holyfield, or B-Hop to cement him as the GOAT? I mean he already beat Roy Jones and Toney and made it look easy. Isn't that what you all used to judge Tyson as an ATG? The fact that he beat a shot to sh*t Spinks and Holmes who were twice Tyson's age? Cause if you say "NO", Lebedev is not the GOAT, then you all are hypocrites and you need to change criteria for judging GOAT status.
Lebdev is very impressive. If your going to fight a geezer at least fight one who used to be a Legend. The Klitschkos fight Past-it guys who were never legends in the first place.

The Klitschkos are a well crafted hoax. The best guy they ever beat was a loudmouth with only 4 fights at heavyweight. Everyone else is just a canned opponent.
I'm sorry, but who says the Klitschkos have to fight and beat old, shot ATG fighters to be ATG? I just want to see a heavyweight that's legitimately a good heavyweight get in the ring with either Wlad or Vitali. It's been a long time.
They could have added Tyson, Holyfield, and Toney to their resumes but they chose to fight real threats instead.
This.
Also, who said that to become an ATG someone must beat an ATG?
The reason people dislike the Klitschko's is because of slack jawed faggots like yourself. Nothing to do with them being white, not being African-Americans or not being foul mouthed rapists.
For some reason this is the logic that most people use. Most people don't look at it like Did he fight the best at the time they were the best? they just look at name value.
Both the Klits deserve respect. They fought and dominated everyone in the division.
The question still remains, regardless of your Lebedev 'logic'.
What ATG's have the Klits fought and beat??
:lol1::lol1::lol1:
So Lebedev is an ATG then, and if he beats Tarver and maybe Holyfield, then he is GOAT, right? Cause an old shot name on your record is all you need, right?
The Klitschkos have cleaned the division for nearly a decade, defeating mostly top Ring 10, undefeated, young, champs and top contenders.
