Do the Klitschkos care where they rank all-time?

Or it was 5-1 or 6-0 depending on whom you talk to........ :lol1: :lol1: :nonono:

I think its only natural. They HAVE to. I mean once u have dominated like they have and have pocket as much money as they have, whats left to fight for?

I'm sure they care else they wouldn't still be fighting. But like JAB said, they're both too classy to ever make direct comparisons with past greats. Wlad especially just strikes me as a dude who's content to keep his head down, keep doing what he's doing, and let history judge him as it may. I think, provided he doesn't have any catastrophic losses, history will judge him quite well.

Or it was 5-1 or 6-0 depending on whom you talk to........ If you talk to a K brothers fan it was 12-0 or a DQ for Vitali, either way it has slowly become a win for Vitali.

Everyone wants to be great. There's a reason Vitali is still fighting, and i doubt it's purely for the money. He has more than he could ever spend already. They're doing the best they can with what they've got. I'm sure they're smarter than both the haters and the fanboys in assessing their place in history.

Or it was 5-1 or 6-0 depending on whom you talk to........ I've never heard of any reasonable person having it 5-1 let alone 6-0.

H2H, they'd probably rank just inside or outside the Top 10 HW's. Career, resume, era, skills, they are probably 16-17 to me. It's not their fault they fought in an era where HW's were crap. Had they fought in the era's with Liston, Patterson, Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Lyle, Shavers, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, Moorer....they would not have dominated they way they have since Lennox retired. People need to remember that an absolute prime Vitali, seen as the better of the Klitschko's, fought a way past prime 37 year old Lennox, and was only beating him 4 rounds to 2 when it was stopped, or it was tied, depending on who you talk to. Or it was 5-1 or 6-0 depending on whom you talk to........

It's a daily argument on here, but does anyone have any examples of Vitali or Wlad talking about where they think they stand? They were very open about their desire to dominate this era and hold all the belts, but do they ever make comparisons with the greats? I think the brothers are to classy to make comparisons to other fighters, but I have no doubt they care about how they'll be remembered . I doubt there nearly as worried about it as some of their fans though.

right above david haye which is nowhere near top 10 atg and its not their fault either...if any of their opponents would actually have the hunger to win rather than being hungry for hamburgers they wouldve been ranked much higher both klitschko's are a little past their primes yet they keep dominating younger fighters

I think the brothers care about their all time ranking. The real down side for both is that there's not a Hwt opponent out there right now that the brothers could advance their all time status by beating. However a loss by either brother right now would devastate their all time ranking.

I'm not sure whether the Klits do but their nuthugging obsessive fans certainly care.

Probably not as much as their insecure fans.
