Wladamir Klitchko runs the gauntlet

[TheGreatA]

It's funny because Carnera and Max Baer both held the LEGIT world heavyweight title.

Something Wlad has never had. But he might, eventually and that will be the day we can compare him to the all-time great heavyweights.

[TheGreatA]

Achievement-wise Baer is rated much higher.

Max maybe but Primo had the mafia and was 90 years old when he fought Louis.

That's why I didn't say his name along with Baer because he wasn't much of a champ. It was good to see him completely destroyed by both Baer and Louis.

That and Buddy and Max Baer who were both 6'6 250 lbs, who also had a better chin than Wladimir.

Buddy Baer was that big, but his more talented brother Max was 6'2 and around 210.

Carnera and Baer couldn't even hold Wlad's jockstrap and you know it.

Wlad would easily KO those guys.

Thanks for the laugh again.

Yet they were legit champs and Wlad is'nt until he fights Ibragimov

Carnera isn't much but he still managed to win the REAL world title unlike Wlad. Baer's achievements surpass Wlad's.

This might change in the future but that's how it is right now.

I don't consider Wlad a real world champ even if he beats Ibragimov, only if he beats someone like Chagaev/Maskaev/Peter again.

He will be a unified titleholder but Ring Magazine's rules state that the real champion must beat the number two ranked heavyweight.

Ibragimov is top 5 at best.

Louis was top 10 at best. there is no way in the world he is the best puncher of all time. Actually, tell me that Joe Louis hits harder than Shavers or Foreman and i'll put it in my sig. its just laughable how you just make this stuff up..lol. get me a link that say that Louis was the best puncher of all time.

I did'nt know you have to be a two time world champion before getting compared to Wlad, do you realise that is'nt a legit two time world champion? Back then there was only one belt, the heavyweight championship of the world, Nowadays there are four belts. When Wladimir beats Ibragimov he will be "The Man" at Heavyweight. He had a paper belt before while Lewis was the champion.

Please, you are underrating Wladimir. None of those fighters that you were comparing him to was an Olympic gold medalist and a two time heavyweight champion like Wlad. Wlad knocks out quality opponents and make them look like bums and weak contenders. Only about 4 people have went the distance with this man, his power is massive. and Wlad did not have a paper belt. He knocked out chris byrd, (who is aslo a 2 time heavyweight champion) and got the belt. A paper champion is a fighter who wins the vacant title against a bum to get it. Example, Kermit Cintron is a paper champion because he did not win the title against a champion. Wlad won it against a real 2 time heavyweight champion chris byrd, which makes him a REAL champion.

It does'nt matter how small Louis was he was knocking guys out who were much bigger, this is because he is was a very accurate and P4P hard puncher. Samuel Peter can knock you down three times, Williamson can knock you down but Joe Louis cant? I mean I thought you knew your stuff? Foreman is the hardest puncher at Heavyweight, your telling me Wladimir's chin would survive against a Prime Foreman? I'm sorry to say but that is ridicilous.

Joe Louis was too small and flat footed to even touch Wlads chin. Louis looked good when fighters came to him or stood in front of him. I would not even give louis a chance in this fight. He wouldn't even get past the left jab and the right hand would be something sick. Louis has never see power like Wlads before. Wlad has actually fought fighters that hits harder than Joe Louis. and Foreman would have to hit Wlads chin in order to do something to it. prime Foreman was to stiff and hesitant, he would directly in front of Wlad's power. and the sanders, williamson, and Peter fight happens before Wlad improved. Since the peter fight, who has been able to hit wlads chin? nobody has.
