    How do you rank Wlad pound-for-pound?

    Fact: Wladimir Klitschko is the most dominant fighter in boxing and his run as heavyweight champion now stretches almost 7 years. This guy has been dominating the weightclass for over 7 years and repeatedly beating top10 opponents (KO 7 Byrd, KO 7 Brock, KO 9 Chagaev, KO 11 Thompson, W 12 Haye, W 12 Ibragimov).

    Wladimir is the most dominant champion in boxing and his streak of 7 years is untouched. (Pacquiao has been changing weightclasses, Mayweather has been inactive and not always fighting the best guys)

    Wlad's resume is probably the best resume in boxing right now in terms of beating top10 opponents.

    Going into the fight with Haye, Wladimir as rated #5 P4P in the world according to RING Magazine. (Keep in mind RING Magazine has often been biased towards American boxing and American market)

    After having beaten Haye, Klitschko has now captured another great win. Klitschko is undefeated in 7 years, and has been a dominating champion for 6 years. That is the longest current streak in boxing.

    I truly believe Klitschko has solidified himself as one of the greatest heavyweights of alltime tonight, and is probably the #2 or #1 P4P fighter in the World.

    Wladimir Klitschko at this point is an unquestionable top3 P4P fighter in the sport, and probably #2 or #1.

    Wlad is top 15 pound for pound today. Top 40 greatest heavyweight ever.

    Your poll is ****** because it makes him top 10 which he isn't. He is Andre Ward fighting Tim Bradley because of his size advantage that does not carry any skill.

      Really, I cant think of a fighter who has been as dominant as Wlad in recent times.

      Bernard's run at middleweight was good, but we need to remember that Bernard was not always perceived as #1 during that run. In fact, for most of that run Bernard was perceived as the #2 or #3 guy at middleweight.

      Wladimir's heavyweight run has been extremely impressive and successful.

      Wlad is easily the most dominant fighter in the past 10, or even 15 years in terms of his championship run.

        Pound-for-Pound is generally based on achievement.

        In that regard, it is entirely absurd to not include him top10.

        His 7 year run as champion goes down as one of the best of alltime heavyweights, and certainly the best championship run that is currently existing in boxing.

        He is **unquestionably** a top10 P4P, probably closer to #3 or #2 after tonight.

        No one in boxing has been champion for such a long time and repeatedly outclassing top10 opponents.

        Beating Haye so easily (Haye is a former undisputed CW world champion) really speaks well for Wlad.

            It's hard to rate big HW's P4P. The entire thing with P4P (or atleast how I understand it) is that it's basically saying "if everyone was the same size who would be the best" And Wladimir fights people when he's about 20-30 pounds bigger then them.

            I hate P4P and think it's a ****** concept, but if you take away Klitchsko's size advantage then I don't really think he's too high on the P4P list... Maybe top 10?

            I don't think P4P has anything to do with past achievements. I always thought it was more of a "who's better know" type thing.

                Name 1 HOFer on Wlads resume. Pac is fighting 2 in less than 6 months.

                  I think Pacquiao is the only guy where you can make an argument is ahead of Wlad. (and even at that, you can make the argument Wlad is #1)

                  Bernard has lost a couple fights over the past few years, so Wlad is better than him.

                  Mayweather is inactive and not fighting many top10 guys, so Wlad is above that.

                  Martinez scored a great KO win, but one win does not equal Wlad's 7 years of dominance.

                  Wladimir is easily the most dominant fighter in boxing and his consistent dominating of top10 guys makes him a top2 P4P fighter in the sport.

                    Chris Byrd, Olympic medalist and HW champion

                    also, its foreseeable that David Haye one day will be a HOFer, don't forget Haye was the undisputed cruiserweight champion. Undisputed as in he had all belts.

                    Also, Pacquiao is fighting these guys (Marquez, Mosley) when they are like 39 years old.

                    Haye and Byrd ere both in their prime when Wlad beat them.
