    If he had every imaginable title, people would still bash him...

    Because he's not American and black.

      If the American media would just stop crying and whining about the division, we fans could get around to enjoying it.

      So the best heavyweights are not Americans right now...

      Get over it and stop whining!

      I agree, the HW divison is at the best it has been in years!!! The Eastern Europen HW's are very good. The haters just keep hating.

        Okay Tunney. I am missing something. I want you to educate me. Where have all the great HW fights been in the last few years? If the division is actually healthy, why is the product so poor? Sultan is supposed to be one of the strongest guys in the division, he is a joke. He wouldn't be a contender in any other era in history. Wladimir is literally the only class fighter in the division. Peter is the second best and he is just a fat joke.

          i'm not dis*****g wlad is probably the best heavyweight out there but he's not THE champion. he's A champion.

          i could care less who has had what belt.

          john ruiz had a wba belt. lyakhovich had a wbo belt. didn't mean they were THE champion.

              Look, there isn't much to bash about Wladimir Klitschko right now. What people want to see a heavyweight champion is do what heavyweight champions do i.e. knock people out.

              The main difference between heavyweights and other divisions is that those guys are supposed to be so big that they knock people out.

              Notable heavyweight champions, George Foreman, Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson. What made them so popular was that they blew people away.

              Evander Holyfield suffered the same problem when he was champion because he wasn't knocking people out like Tyson. He was black and American, didn't make a difference with popular press of his day.

              What people need to realize is that you're only as good as your last fight. If Klitschko looks great against Thompson, the tune will change and he'll be red hot again.

                Wlad has 3 belts and beat nearly all the top guys at HW.

                  people can find a reason to bash anyone. it's just preference , tun.

                  people bash floyd he's american and black.

                  if prime ali was fighting today there'd be 50 threads a day bashing him.

                  wlad is good but i'm not calling him THE champion 'til he becomes lineal champion. which he can easily do......

                    i know mt77. i know.

                    but i'm a big follower of the lineal theory. manny can get 20 belts at 135 but that doesn't stop me from calling casa THE CHAMP at lightweight 'til someone beats him (santa cruz fight aside)

                      The Ring/Lineal Champion is the ONLY champion that really matters.

                      wlad should just beat up peter again when he gets a chance then he can be THE champion.
                      Who gives a **** about The Ring Belt?

                      Everybody knows that Wlad is the REAL heavyweight champ

                      Wlad already beat the **** outta #2 heavyweight Peter and he will beatdown Peter again in a rematch.
