Can Wladimir Klitschko break Joe Louis's 25 title defense record?

[Phirsole]

I assume Wlad will fight for another 3-5 years with 2-3 fights each year. Looking at the current competition, he could defend his titles in 8-15 fights. With this, he won't top the streak of Louis.

[Derranged_]

I firmly believe, if Wlad Klitschko, had that goal in mind, then he could accomplish it. He's in great shape and the has financial/mangerial/promotional resources to schedule 3 or 4 fights per year...

[Sweet Jesus]

Nope. Would be surprised to see him even get to 20.

[The Surgeon]

I think he can but im not so sure he will and i definatley hope he dont!

[Chunk..]

What's he on now?

[IronDanHamza]

He might if he fights until he's 40.

I doubt it, though.

No. The great Louis's streak will never be beaten.

No. The great Louis's streak will never be beaten.

Streaks are offtopic here.

Wlad already broke Louis record. Louis won 8x in real heavyweight fights.

Nobody can seriously consider Billy Conn (174 lbs = sub cruiser) or Red Burman (188 lbs, who started at 148 lbs) a title defense comparable to real massive heavyweight.

Compare apples to apples.

Wlad long time ago surpassed Louis' heavyweight title wins.

He surpassed Lennox, next he will surpass Ali's and then Larry Holmes.

Actually when you delete sub-heavies and bums off the record (= those who lose 25% or more of their fights) Wlad has already surpassed ANY OTHER heavyweight champ in history, because Holmes had his title fights padded with bums like Ocasio (23-13) and Ali with bums like Coopman (36-16)

Get over it. Nobody has such a good record like Wladimir. And I didn't even count the KOs here.

[Pirao]

What's he on now?

In his current reign he's at 11 defenses, and he has a total of 16 titles defenses.

LMAO!! The great that had the bum of the month title. This is the curse with non American greats.
