Will Wladimir Klitschko break Joe Lous' 25 title defenses record?

[Seiko]

i think he can there is not many people out there who can give him a challenge

[sweetpea87]

I don't think anyone will ever break Louis' record

Didn't vitali get steroids from a doctor because of a injury which is normal.

Well can't have been totally above board or else he wouldn't have been thrown off the olympic team.
Also yet to hear someone caught say I took them because I wasn't good enough so I cheated.

No, Byrd would win by exposing Foreman's limitedness.

You will be a good person to earn a lot of money off of betting on fights.

[Boxingwizard]

no he will lose to Chambers.

You really cant count those silly WBO title defences. We all know that when he held that belt before losing it to Sanders that Lewis was THE champion and Wlad wasnt rated by any orginisation to challenge Lewis because of holding the silly WBO belt which has always been pointless. Lets not forget that Damiani was the world champion when Tyson was at his peak!

Its as worhtless as the WBU, heck Toney is probably telling people still that he is heavyweight champion due to holding something called the IBA.

I think he will top out at 20 defenses which is as impressive as Louis' record if not moreso.

Louis was defending against the "bum of the month club".

At one point Louis made back to back defenses against guys with 23 and 40 losses. Those kinda fights would never get sanctioned these days. Considering also that back in the day he could fight 6-7 times per year without worrying about HBO and sanctioning bodies I think 20 defenses by a modern heavyweight is actually more impressive than 25 by a guy fighting 50 years ago.

Some very good points there.

I still don't think that Wlad will make it to 20 world title defences though.

I sure hope not...It's like Valuev was about to break the record...Thank god that didn't go down.

[Tmann400]

no that is highly doubtful...your talking about 18 more straight defenses..considering he only fights twice a year..your talking about around 9 years til he gets that far..he would be 42..and personally once his speed starts to go..wladimir is in very big trouble because he wont be as quick with that jab and his reflexes and he will expose that weak chin of his once again..so no the chances of that happenening are very slim

The man doesn't stand a chance of breaking Louis' record, although Louis' record was built partly because he rarely fought good fighters.

Some of the guys he defended his title against had 25 losses or more.
