    What is Wladimir supposed to do? He is fighting all of the champions and top contenders there are for him to fight. What more can you ask of a champion? He is fighting them all and knocking them all out.

    I don't get you people.

Wlad put him on the canvas twice in the first and twice in the second. Bostice openly wept in his corner after the fight, and was never the same fighter afterwards.

      Paea Wolfgramme had an excellent amateur pedigree, and was physically bigger than Wlad at about 280 pounds. He had never previously been stopped or even knocked down, and had lost only one close decision. Wlad knocked him out in the first round.

      Monte Barrett, who was highly regarded at the time, had never previously been stopped or even knocked down, but he went down five times in the fight.

      The underrated Tony Thompson had never been stopped or even knocked down before he fought Wlad (he had only one close decision loss in a four round fight).

      Phil Jackson was a strong puncher, but I don't rate him as one of Wlad's better wins.
      tunney hyping up some guy named Paea Wolfgramme. guess it is true. some people have no dignity.

        Wolfgramme won Silver at super heavyweight in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Not too shabby...

        What is your greatest achievement? I bet you don't have any.

          Brewster
          Rahman


          The best statistic on Wladimir Klitschko, though, is HOW MANY OPPONENTS HE'S KOed WHO WERE NEVER STOPPED BEFORE. I believe he's the best of the past 50 years in this category. There are so many:

          Thompson
          Bostice
          Barrett
          Shultz
          Chagaev
          Shufford
          Mercer
          Vujecic
          Brock
          Castillo
          Shaheed
          Wolfgramme


          and several others.
          but who had those guys fought tunney?

            Peter was picked across the board, on nearly every fansite and forum, to KO Wlad within 5. Peter was on a path of destruction, and Wlad had gassed out in that weird way against Brewster, and had not looked like the old Wlad since the Brewster fight. Peter looked invincible going in, and took an unholy beating in that fight, and was just demoralized every time Wlad got up (from legal and illegal shots) and Peter has never really been the same since.

            That fight was a huge turning point, where Wlad has been the best HW in the world since that night and not looked back. So to me, that's Wlad's best victory.

              This is a useless argument, and you know it. Who cares what we have all achieved on a personal level? We are debating the merits of a fighter's standing in this thread that is it.

              All that needs to be said is that Wladimir Klitschko is fighting and dominating every champion/top contender that is put in front of him. The sole exception is his brother who he cannot reasonably be expected to fight.

              What more can be done? You just can't ask anything more from the Champion of a division. He is fighting the best and beating the best. Clearly. End of.

                Hundreds of opponents, if you add up their won-loss records!

                Next thing you'll be saying Felix Savon is no good, since he lost in the amateurs to Chagaev, who lost to Wlad on Saturday.

                It really doesn't matter who Wlad beats, jackasses like you will just say they are no good.

                  He's into his 50's in terms of numbers of fights. More than alot of heavyweight greats have had even post retirement.

                  So I think it's time to ask the question. What are Wlads top five wins.

                  Every great heavyweight has their great wins. What are wlads?
                  yeah! go tell them , tun!

                    Once again, instead of attacking by yourself, you jump in when I'm debating with someone else. You are a cowardly little puke.

                      wolfgramme was a damn tomato can in the pro ranks and you know it. stop hyping up bums to make wlad look better. reason he was never knocked down or out cause he fought all bums until he met wlad and he lost to a guy who was 10-25 and the only other times he stepped up in competition he lost as well.
