    The question is, who did they beat before and after?

      Wlad will go down as one of the best ever,and really should be the one of the best ever and easily in a top 3 HW of all time discussion...if we are giving guys like Louis as world beaters who fought guys like Baer/Gallento and Braddock how is wlads opponents actually bums?Does anyone here actually think fighting 6'4 250 pound giants is easier than aged 200 pounders or 175 pounders like Conn?i can go through all the eras of past time champs and honenstly Wlads opponets are much bigger and stronger guys.....barring the 90's I think guys today are extremely difficult to beat,even Fury...at 6'9 he is no pic nic as he moves well too....any guy weiging 250 plus is going to have some level of power.Add in skill...well its a superheavyweight era,you are not going to have the samwe mechanics as the 220 pounders.....that's reality.To much goes into past time champs,you can say weight and size is not skill however it counts for something ,getting hit by a 200 pound guy is not going to be the same as a 250 pound guy,of course there are exceptions.

          Context is key. Those 0s consist of bums like Pianeta, Pulev, Wach, Koch, Shaheed etc. The best undefeated guy on his record by far was Povetkin and he should have lost that fight via DQ for the most illegal clinching ever witnessed in a title fight.

            He also got destroyed by a guy with a 21-14 record.

              24-13, in 1998 when he was age 22 and a slender 224 pounds.

              The opponent had a draw with Tommy Morrison, and had gone the distance with several big punchers. Klitschko won every minute of every round, but ran out of energy trying to stop the durable 6'5" 250 pound opponent.

              Doesn't mean much.

                And who did the guys Floyd beat after they fought him? Floyd waited until they were badly faded or completely shot.

                Povetkin has KO wins over several contenders since Klitschko, several others have some decent wins. A few of the remainder had the fight beaten out of them forever.

                  Yeah that just an excuse. A poor excuse at that, saying he lost the fight because he gassed out is just admitting he was too deficient in the stamina and chin department to manage to go the distance with an easy set up journeyman without getting knocked out. Too ****** to know when to limit punch output. These are some of the weaknesses he has shown throughout his career.

                  That means quite a bit.

                    You broke the #1 rule of being a Wlad fan.

                    1. Stick to numbers, never mention names. Names expose how shit his opposition was.

                      Are you really trying to compare Mayweather's resume with Wlad's?
