Wladimir Klitschko has taken a lot of "0"s in his career

[LacedUp]

Peter, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Brock & Povetkin (despite the nature of the fight) were his best and most impressive undefeated wins imo.

The Peter fight is probably his best win of all.

[STAX ON DECK]

this has to be a joke right???

i mean somebody took gabriel rosados "0" before,does that make this random Pogs collection specialist some type of beast??

[KnockoutNed]

Okay, so you won't make negative comments about Klitschko if he knocks out Fury? Surely a man nearing age 40 deserves credit if he stops the age 26 giant traveler.

Wlad does have the boxing skills to outbox and KO Fury. I'm not sure if he's still young enough, though.

Will you make excuse after Fury beats Wlad? I fully expect the Wlad fans to come with the excuses that Wlad was old, shot etc.

Klinchko fought in a terrible heavyweight era and is nothing but a bum.

[soul_survivor]

Yes, I think he would.

In your mind, those guys are like superheroes - you make them out to be something far greater than they ever really were. Of course they were good fighters, just not as invincible as you believe.

But I'm not going to change your opinion.

I never once said they were invincible. They all lost, in fact some of them were KOd. But look at what is written below

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

This...a fighter is judged by who they beat. Who has Povetkin beaten? Just because he is supposedly bigger than previous heavyweights..well some previous heavyweights anyway. What make Povetkin so dangerous? Made to look **** by Wlad?

Chageav is a small heavyweight by most standards, what would make him so dangerous in the 70s or mid 90s? Considering your criteria is size.

And if Wlad can be KOd by smaller guys who are nothing more than journeymen, what do you think makes him a lasting possibility or a winner against monstrous punchers like Foreman, Tyson, Frazier, Shavers etc.

Klitschko has fought in basically the best HW era of all time and dominated better than any champion before him...

That makes him almost undeniably the greatest champion in the history of the sport up to this point in time.

^^^ There is really no denying anything about the above statements..

If he takes on Fury and LOSES! This doesn't even change!

The resume of Wladimir Klitschko is also undisputedly the best resume of any boxer!

The strongest and highest skilled opponents on average that any boxer has faced by far! And so many of them vanguished!

Every generation of boxers is better than the generation that preceded it, because the athletes get better and better and stronger and stronger from generation to generation.

Obviously!

Don't be silly, Elroy.

Don't be silly, Elroy.

That's like asking water not to be wet.

[The Big Dunn]

Man! Have never seen shit stacked that high before. What a feat!

I believe the wording you were looking for was, "Wladimir sure has taken ON a lot of zeros in his career."

LMFAO

Hey Tunney. When Wlad gets KO1'd by Deontay Wilder in a couple of years, are you gonna abandon him like you did Bute... Who went from a future p4p great (in your eyes) to a Richie Woodall & Mario Veit level fighter.

If Wlad will be beaten by Wilder "in a couple of years" it just means that Wilder will be waiting until Wlad gets old.There is no shame in this for Klichko - everybody gets old. There is also not much glory for Wilder to wait until it happens...
