He'll be remembered as one of the greats. He has dominated this era like Lennox Lewis dominated his era.

Wlad's skill set is among the best ever. Wlad tends to get hated on for his "glass" chin, being "boring" etc but these same people were hating on Wlad when he was a purely offensive fighter that threw way to many punches going for the KO instead of pacing himself which left himself open defensively and to also run out of gas which was subsequently exploited (now corrected) in his 3 defeats that this version of Wlad would never have IMO.
Wlad also isn't given nearly enough credit for not only hiring a great trainer like Manny to correct his flaws (defense, pace) but also listening to him correcting his 2 main flaws which have made him close to being invincible. Wlad hasn't even lost a round in years against top ranked opponents. That's domination.

Yer, i slated him a lot in the past due to the feud with Haye(Big fan of his) and some of his fans on here got on my **** but i'm man enough to admit when i wrong. Wladimir Klitschko is great, an ATG and should be getting more respect on here then what he has gotten so far. Since i've been on here anyway.

I don't have very much doubt that Wlad could defend his title 50 times if he was sanctioned to do it against Tony Galento types on a monthly basis.
