      Ali
      Frazier
      Foreman
      Langford
      J.Johnson
      Tyson
      Marciano
      Holmes
      Lewis
      Liston
      Louis
      Holyfield

      I rate these fighters higher than Wlad, you could maybe add fighters such as Dempsey to the list.

      Wladimir's consistency in his reign deserves notable credit, but it is made lackluster by the opponents he has faced where he isn't at fault.

      He has many wins over "good fighters", however he has yet to beat an ATG HW.

      IMO he is Top 20, 13 at best. Haye, Chagaev, Byrd, Peter and these other "Top 10" fighters he has faced in the worst era of HW history doesn't make you Top 10. However, I do commend him for reaching such a high rank in the first place despite the abysmal caliber of fighters in this era.

      I believe some of you who list him as Top 10 need to look into the old history of HW's. The majority of these Klitschko fans have probably never watched clips of great fighters such as Langford, Johnson, Dempsey let alone know anything about them.

      Just to note, the anyone who said he is Top 5 should give themselves an uppercut for such delusional ******ity.

        all the top thirty HWs could reign longer than Wlad if they fought his calibre of opponents.

        Hell, I could guarantee reigning as long if I picked **** opponents well below my ability. But the premise fo being a HW champ is that you pick prime opponents, not get beaten by MWs or 37 year old almost retired fatties and then run away from a rematch in terror.

          Both bro's are definitely top 15 ATG. And they created LEGEND together. From Germany cheers!

              There certainly is a wide range of votes in the poll.

              Some rate him as #1, some rank him below the top 200.

                Adolf Hitler knew who Joe Louis was.

                President Kennedy told Patterson to stop ducking Liston.

                Do you think any important world leaders know who Wlad is or can even tell him apart from his older brother? For an active Champion he is pretty invisible on the world stage.
